E Da Quel Giorno Farfalla: A Raw, Unfiltered Punch of Italian Pop Brilliance
Alright, let’s get real here. Rino Sicurezza’s E Da Quel Giorno Farfalla isn’t just another forgotten gem from the late '70s—it’s a slap in the face to anyone who thinks pop music can’t have soul. Released in 1979 under Boom Record, this album smacks you with its raw emotion and unapologetic chanson vibes. Yeah, it’s Italian pop, but don’t go expecting some cheesy love ballads or dance-floor filler crap. This is deeper. Darker. Real.
First off, big ups to F. Schisano for the arrangements—they’re tight, man. And Rino? Dude wrote these tracks like he was bleeding onto the page. You feel every damn word. Let’s dive into two tracks that’ll stick to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk.
"Farfalla"
This track hits hard. Like, punch-you-in-the-gut hard. The melody feels fragile, almost like it’s about to break, but there’s this weird strength to it too. It’s like watching a butterfly (yeah, “farfalla” means butterfly) try to fly outta a storm. The lyrics? Damn. They’re poetic as hell, dripping with imagery that makes you think twice about life, freedom, and all that heavy stuff. When the chorus kicks in, you wanna scream along even if you don’t speak Italian. That’s how powerful it is.
"E Da Quel Giorno"
Now THIS one’s a gut-punch. From the first note, it grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. There’s something haunting about the way Rino delivers the vocals—like he’s telling you a story he’s been carrying around for years. The piano line is simple but cuts deep, and the build-up? Shit, it gives me goosebumps every time. By the end, you’re left sitting there, staring into space, wondering what the hell just happened. It’s not just a song; it’s an experience.
Look, I ain’t saying this album’s perfect. Some parts drag a bit, and yeah, it’s kinda rough around the edges. But that’s what makes it so damn special. It’s real. No auto-tune, no overproduced nonsense. Just pure, raw talent pouring out of every track.
And honestly? Listening to this album feels like finding an old Polaroid at the bottom of a drawer. It’s faded, maybe a little torn, but it tells a story you won’t forget anytime soon. Makes you wonder why more people aren’t talking about Rino Sicurezza. Maybe because they’re too busy listening to whatever garbage dominates the charts today.
So yeah, check out E Da Quel Giorno Farfalla. It’s messy, beautiful, and completely unforgettable. Oh, and if you don’t like it? Well, maybe you just don’t get it. Or maybe...just maybe...you’ve forgotten how to feel.
