The Beach Boys - 'Til I Die
Every now and then I pick up a book that back in the first year of high school made you go down hard with a funnel, I don't even know why I do it: curiosity to see the effect they have at a time when everything seems pointless? Masochism? A challenge with myself? Who knows...
Anyway, I recently reread I Malavoglia, which at the time left me with the strongest sense of “struggle” and “grayness.” A feeling so intense that, for years, just seeing the green spine of the Garzanti edition stacked in the bookshelf would bring back those sensations and I'd steer clear.
Well, I was astonished to find myself captivated by the story, unable to wait for a moment of free time to continue reading.
Perhaps every reading must be approached at the right time, but I also feel like saying that there was something wrong at the time in the way students were introduced to these books.
Listening to it published without thinking too much, for no particular reason, just a reflection.
A song that has nothing to do with it, but conveys well my feelings from the last part of the reading.
