VIRGINIO, “AMARENE”: MEANING OF THE SONG

With Black cherries the singer-songwriter tells of a love that should be kept hidden, because it is judged different, unconventional, out of the ordinary.
It is the story of two people who are overwhelmed by a fatal attraction, aware of the impossibility of living it fully. Theirs is in fact a forbidden bond, trapped between desire and fear.

“Black cherries are cherries, but they are bitter. And to love for me, in this song, is also a central verb and sometimes it is bitterness. I thought of this metaphor when I wrote Black cherries. In this piece I talk about when, after the first meeting, you understand that the story could become serious and then you try to push the idea away, you try to escape, but you can't. Instinct, attraction, is something you can't always control.

Who do I dedicate it to? To all those who have found themselves or who find themselves in this condition. To all those who feel judged, mocked, disappointed by something, not free to live. To them I say: if it is what you believe in and you think it is truly worth it, then don't care”.
