The new single by the Emilian singer-songwriter was released last Friday 10 May Valentina Tioli,”Common Mal” (distributed by ADA Music Italy).
VALENTINA TIOLI, “MAL COMMON”
“Mal Comune” is an emotional journey in the form of a stream of consciousness of someone who finds himself traveling alone in the car, at night, thinking back to the end of a bond that was thought to become inseparable. It is a reminder of shared pain and awareness of the end of a love relationship.
The sound of the song shows very well the feeling of loss of this love and the search within oneself for the meaning of the end of a relationship. The text, however, tells of that moment in which you realize that you have reached the moment when it is right to end a relationship, let the person go and no longer delude yourself, even though you are suffering. All this because we mistakenly idealize a person who doesn't make us feel good.
And it is here, in this moment of reflection, that we are called to consider a transformation, no longer remaining anchored to our beliefs as «tires fixed under the desks». During this process, we realize a universal truth: our experience is not unique and many share the same struggle, the same pain. This happens because in today's society, dysfunctional loves are a reality and, as such, must be faced with determination.
However, the knowledge that we are not alone in this suffering does not lessen the burden. In reverse, Valentina Tioli in “Common Mal” reminds us that every pain, even if shared with other people, always remains personal and is a journey to be faced alone.
