Available in radio rotation and on all major streaming and download platforms starting Friday 29 November for Warner Music Italy, Again is the title of an unreleased song by Pino Daniele which will finally see the light 15 years after its composition and which will celebrate the approach of two special anniversaries: 10 years since the death and 70 years since the birth of the musician and singer-songwriter.
The song will be presented in absolute preview tomorrow, Sunday 24 November, at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium Of Naples (and at the same time also on DAZN), where at 5.50 pm, or just before the start of the Naples – Rome matchan emotional video will be broadcast which collects some images of the symbolic places of Naples, to which are added others which portray Pine in the studio between 2010 and 2012.
“Traveling the world and bringing my, our music, I noticed something“, says the singer-songwriter at the beginning of the video. “It's that what matters, in the end, are our memories, it's us. It is us with our history and with our work, with what we do every day. So, this piece is dedicated to you” (speech taken from a concert in London, held in 2013, ed).
PINO DANIELE, “aGAIN”
Intimate and authentic, the song was born in 2009 as one of the promotional pieces of an acoustic EP that never saw the light, but whose songs were then reused over time (as Two Shoes And I Still Love You), and reflects the autobiographical approach of Pino Danielewho has always been capable of transforming emotions and feelings into music and words, fusing his Neapolitan roots, blues and world music into a universal language.
“Inside Again we find dad's three instruments: the acoustic guitar, the electric guitar and his voice, which is an instrument“, he explained Alessandro Daniele. Then, he added: “Playing in an acoustic and intimate situation was perhaps his ideal dimension“.
And again: “Dad was a master at communicating emotions and feelings. He managed to do it masterfully. His songs have always been autobiographical. He managed to enter and exit her life, describing his emotions, his feelings, but also those of the people around him. In all his songs I can still find fragments of our lives, whether they are dialogues or stories of friends. Listening to it again, for me, is like reliving all those emotions.”
But this time the emotion is stronger,”because we are doing it as a family. It is the first time that Sara and I have worked together and, I must say, that we have also rediscovered ourselves a little from a professional point of view“.
Words that echo those of herself Will bewho said: “It's very exciting to be able to work on an unreleased project of my father's, because it's obviously something personal since we're doing it as a family. However, I have to admit that when I hear dad singing, for me it's Pino and, consequently, I manage – at times – to be a little more detached. Then there's Giuseppe, there's dad, and that's a whole different story“.
Pino Daniele, Again: lyrics of the song
Produced and arranged by himself Pino Danieleauthor of the lyrics as well as the music, Again was recorded between his studio in Rome, il Blue Drag Studioand the Forward Studios of Grottaferrata (Rome), to then be mixed by Tommy Vicari in 2009 and mastered in 2024 by Pino “Pinaxa” Pischetola In the Pinaxa Studio of Milan.
Below we report the lyrics of the song:
You will walk
And I will be in front of your breath, together.
You will smile,
In the sun as you do when you feel good.
Because life is the same,
You fight with your hands and your head.
The Berlin Wall is a distant memory
Behind our destiny.
On the road again
On the road again
On the road again
And you will melt,
Your hair changes color by the sea.
I'll miss you,
If in the summer I will miss your love.
That absolute love
Made of a look, which changes your life
Which gives a name to things and people
And it starts again.
On the road again
On the road again
On the road again
DOUBLE OCCASION AND MANY INITIATIVES
Various projects are planned from March 2025 to the end of the year: from the live music contest Musician Award – Pino Daniele Award to some exhibitions, passing through a documentary film on the life of the musician and singer-songwriter (directed by Francesco Lettieri), whose publication is scheduled for his 70th birthday, i.e. next March 19th.
But that's not all! In fact, there is also an album at stake: “It's all a work in progress. There are many things ready, others to finish… demos, sketches…“.
The certainty is that whatever happens will involve all five of the artist's children.
