Available from Friday 4 October on both vinyl and CD, 10 Loves (Momy Records, Concert / BMG) is the new album by Marco Masiniproduced by Gianluca Tozzi And Milo Fantini.
Inside all the loves of a lifetime, those that remain stuck to us forever, giving the certainty of the existence of a link between the past and the present and creating the hope of a tomorrow in which to believe.
“It's always a gamble to come out with an album. And the bet is to hope that someone understands your new thinking. A thought that changes with every little movement in this world, with every coincidence or destiny already written but not foreseen, or simply because you realize that you have grown up.”

10 LOVES (PROLOGUE)
How many true loves are there in a lifetime? Luckily more than one. Important love stories, but also love for a child, for parents, for one's passions, for oneself. Perhaps they can be counted on the fingers of two hands. 10 songs, 10 loves told”that hold the past together and still speak to the future”.
THEN BYE (written by Marco Masini and Antonio Iammarino, who also produced it together with Cesare Chiodo)
In this song sweetness and bitterness merge in the story of a love that is over, not without regrets and memories that hurt, but which remain as indelible snapshots. The last image, that of him leaving, comes back to mind, sweet and bitter, together with the certainty of having wasted something beautiful.
A SMALL PLACE
An incurable contradiction: on the one hand the need to run away when we are together, on the other the suffering from that unbearable absence and the desire to return to each other. In short, a circle without a solution, which never feels good: “with a paint stroke you can heal faster, but we don't like healing”.
IT IS NOT A CHOICE
When you fall in love with someone who is of a very different age, fears and doubts about the future clash with the indispensable beauty of being together, of having found yourself here and now.
IT HAD TO BE US
The great expectations that are cultivated as kids, from school days, when you feel that your generation is different from others and will certainly not make the same mistakes as those who came before. Then time passes and, as adults, looking back, we realize that we weren't that different, we weren't better: “If you at least knew what we really were, we just made an indelible mess”.
TALK TO THE FUTURE
Look in the mirror and ask yourself if this is the life we wanted. Shutting yourself away, defending yourself from every type of emotion so as not to run the risk of feeling bad, is it really living? “A life that smells real scares me more than being alone”.
BUT FOR YOU YES
Finding love when you no longer believed in it, when you didn't even think about it anymore. And the way of seeing things changes: it is no longer the unconscious enchantment of adolescence, but – suddenly – feeling that you can trust someone, that you can think twice, gives a different meaning to everything.
LIGHT
A lonely man, crushed by the weight of the things of life, gets behind the wheel at night, headed towards the sea. He wants to disconnect from his thoughts, breathe, drink a mojito, see people dancing and having fun, feel light. The evening won't go as he hoped.
SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT YOU
From a distant past the memory reemerges of a person who had been important, but had chosen to leave, to pursue his life elsewhere. They say she returned to live in the city, but things didn't go as she had imagined: “someone told me about you, that time has changed you but you are still the same, with that ability to still hurt yourself”.
GORGEOUS
The difficulty, for a separated parent, of seeing his child only once a week and cultivating the relationship with him, seeing him grow, in those few hours allowed: “our Friday ends too soon, but don't think about it now while we are here… keeping the world going, you and me”.
TWO BOYFRIENDS FROM THE 1930s
Your father and mother, another era, languages and alphabets that you couldn't decipher. Only now that I'm no longer here, you seem to understand everything perfectly: “I learned from them that silence is a manifesto, an ice cream slowly at the same table”.
