A journey between fragility and resistance, between nights full of questions and a soul
which, despite everything, continues to vibrate and fight. “The soul that breaks” is
the new single by Costanzo Del Pinto. Available from January 9th on radio and
on all digital platforms (Believe – Next Stop Music Publishing).
A song that sincerely recounts the weight of its own contradictions and the
courage not to give up. Between fears, up & down and the search for balance
that always seems to escape, Costanzo's voice becomes confession and
resistence.
Choosing five is difficult. Not because they are few, but because some songs you don't just listen to: they accompany you. They stay there. They come back. These five, in one way or another, did this to me.
Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin
It's not just a song. It's a slow, continuous climb. It starts slowly, almost on tiptoe, and then grows, opens up, explodes. Every time I listen to it it reminds me why rock, when it's true, doesn't need to prove anything. It's just there.
The Count of Tuscany – Dream Theater
Nineteen minutes. Since 2009. Still here.
It's one of those songs that doesn't ask for compromises: you either get in or you stay out. There is technique inside, of course, but above all there is the pleasure of telling a story to the end. For me it was and is a soundtrack, without the need for explanations.
The evening of miracles – Lucio Dalla
This song walks slowly. Observe. Breathe.
Every word is in the right place, every image remains. It's one of those songs that doesn't get old, because it's about being human.
Who Wants to Live Forever – Queen
It's a question left there, unprotected.
Freddie Mercury sings it as if he already knew the answer. Every listen is a little ritual, something that grabs you and doesn't let go. It hit me right away, and never let me go.
One more reason – Mino Reitano
Here there is no construction, there is no distance.
There is only the need to move forward, to find a foothold, even minimal. It's a simple, direct, true song. And sometimes that's all you need.
