R.I.P. Ronnie Spector. If she looks and sounds familiar, you'd be right. She was Amy Winehouse's idol, and you can see it not only in the sound but in the "look". Poor woman, having to be married to that man.

Its funny, younger I found such musical themes cringe, but with time they have definitively grown on me.

I didn't understand this song years ago. Now I do. Just beautiful, and sad.

According to this author "in the mountains of Albania are preserved alive the ancient melodies of the country. The oldest melodies live in the songs of the Mountaineers of Northern Albania. But it was not only the song, the melody among the visages of ancient times, but also institutes other old ones, such as superstitions, doctrines, elders, assemblies - as a source of wisdom, philosophy and governance - has been the reason why in the last two centuries many scholars and travelers of Europe rushed to the northern Albanian highlands to observe and record an interesting world, a rare "museum" of values that still lived "conserved" in the soul and free land of the Albanian mountains. This people for their language, customs, tribes and folklore is simply national and corresponds to the older Albanians, and hence in every respect it is more reliable'

'It is well known that Albanian mountain folk can communicate by calling to one another at great distances, from hill to hill, Such conversation at a distance is directly confirmed for us by medieval sources. Created by the pressure of nature, this custom is ancient and holds for all mountain peoples.'

Maneskin back on the stage at San Remo where it all started.
Caro Damiano, che tenero che sei; ho pianto con te, e per te.
I hope RAI will release the official version soon. Till then, this will have to do. He had tears in his eyes throughout, and half the orchestra performers looked like they did as well. That last part with all of his colleagues with him at the front sharing his pain, and also his joy at being back, and then watching him break down in tears, well, words fail me. What a performance. What a gift indeed he gave us, and can I just say how wonderful it was to hear this ballad backed up by the wonderful orchestra. Why can't American audiences value this instead of just his simplest, least emotional songs? Does it really have to always be in English?

But tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline CoralineCoraline as beautiful as the sun
A Warrior with a zealous heart
Hair like red roses
Those copper wires are precious,
love, bring them to me
If you hear bells ringing
You will see Coraline crying
She takes the pain of others
And then she carries it inside herCoraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline CoralineBut she knows the truth
Moving forward isn’t for everyone
With her heart divided in two
It’s cold already
She is a child but she feels
A weight on her and sooner or later she will break
People will say, “She’s worth nothing”
She can’t even get out of a wretched door
But one day, one time, she will succeed
And I told Coraline she can grow
Take her things and then leave
But she feels a monster is holding her in a cage
That covers the road with mines
And I told Coraline she can grow
Take her things and then leave
But Coraline doesn’t want to eat no
Yes Coraline would like to disappearAnd Coraline cries
Coraline has anxiety
Coraline wants the sea but is afraid of water
And maybe the sea is inside of her
And every word is an axe
A cut on her back
Like a raft that sails
On a raging river
And maybe the river is inside of her, her I will be the fire and the cold
Your shelter in winter
I will be what you breathe
I will understand what you have inside of you
And I’ll be the water you drink
The meaning of good
I will also be a soldier
Or your light in the evening
And in return I ask for nothing
Just a smile
For every little tear you shed is an ocean on my face
And in return I ask for nothing
Just a little bit of time
I will be your banner, your shield
Or your silver sword
And Coraline cries
Coraline has anxiety
Coraline wants the sea but is afraid of water
And maybe the sea is inside of her
And every word is an axe
A cut on her back
Like a raft that sails
On a raging river
And maybe the river is inside of her, herBut tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline CoralineCoraline, beautiful as the sun
She lost the fruit of her womb
She has not known love
But a father who is nothing like a father
They told you there is a castle in the city
With such powerful walls
That if you go live inside
Nothing can hit you anymore
Nothing can hit you anymore
Thanks for the info!Quote:

Such a pure voice, pitch perfect in a live performance, delicate, the voice of an angel, singing such a pure song.
