Giulia Meiknown to the general public after her participation in X-Factor 2024 with the single Flag which has reached over a million streams and views, returns to be talked about with the new song Life is Bad.
Available today on the radio and on all platforms, the single marks a new musical chapter for the Palermo artist.
Life is Bad it is a song that stands out for a mix of cynicism and irony, containing contrasting feelings:
So cynical as to be sentimental, so decadent as to be ridiculous
as Giulia herself states. The song mixes strong and irreverent images, combining the musical complexity of a game of Bach with the unbridled energy of a rave party. A rhythm that invites you to dance and reflect at the same time, finding the strength to laugh even when life seems difficult.
The song, produced by Ramiro Levy And Alessandro Di Sciullo For Sound To Be/ADAcontinues to show the ability to Giulia Mei to mix profound lyrics with refined arrangements, as already demonstrated in Flag which he received Critics Award to Voices for Freedom – Amnesty International 2024.
Life is Bad represents an important stage in the singer-songwriter's career, which after the success of the first album We will become adults and the victory of the competition for authors Genoa for you, continues to amaze with a musical poetic that knows how to touch the most intimate chords of the listener, without giving up a desecrating and ironic streak.
GIULIA MEI – LIFE IS BAD
(Giulia Mei – Alessandro Di Sciullo – Ramiro Levy – Sound To Be – Warner Chappell Music Italiana – Triggger)
You feel like singing
a sad song
of not love
maybe a little banal
you feel like chasing
a case in four
that you don't remember at all
that the worst has been done,
you want to feel
a little bigger
than what it really is
hide in your underwear
you want to close your eyes
and don't think that this song is too
it makes you shit.
But you sing it all, you dance it all
because life is bad, life is bad
but you feel that in the end it resembles you a little
like the last drop at the bottom of the bottle.
And you dance it all you dance it all
because life is bad, life is bad
but you feel that in the end it resembles you a little
like the last drop at the bottom of the bottle
I want to forget
your nuclear mouth
your face hurts me
your smile, punches to the heart,
harmonize the pain
with a minor chord
leave it to the music
the dirty work of words,
we got lost said to the mirrors
we look for the pieces of our eyes
see you at the idea for the Apocalypse
You bring the drinks and I'll bring the boxes
And you dance it all you dance it all
because life is bad, life is bad
but you feel that in the end it resembles you a little
like the last drop at the bottom of the bottle
and you dance on it, you dance on it
on this sad pace like Europe
like the processions, like the showgirls
on this rotten rhythm as long as you live
on this rotten record as long as you live.
