few days ago I turned on the radio in the car and I heard the new single by Vasco Rossi on "at all costs." The National Blasco
good thought to do a cover of Radiohead, but in his style.
For the layman, a "cover" would be a remake of someone else's song, a new version, a way to revive an old classic or to give a different light to a musical composition with perhaps an unusual arrangement.
Well dear readers, the author of "Reckless" has not done any of this.
Vasco took a song of a gruppo straniero e ci ha cantato sopra delle parole a modo suo, senza senso... come al solito... oserei dire.
Vasco poteva salvare la faccia, cercando di tradurre e adattare il testo (per altro molto bello) ma forse era troppo da sfigati, e così si è limitato a sparare parole che sembravano quelle originali per assonanza fonetica...
Seguendo passo passo la versione originale dei Radiohead con quella di Vasco, è facile notare che anche un bambino avrebbe potuto scrivere un testo migliore basandosi sulla "rima baciata italo-inglese" che il signor Rossi cerca di ottenere a tutti i costi:
When you were here before,
Guarda che lo so
Couldn't look you in the eye
eyes that you
're just like an angel, I am not sincere
Your skin makes me cry
Sincere never
Rit.
But I'm a creep,
But I'm here
I'm a weirdo
tell you I love
What the hell am I doin 'here?
I want to stay with you
I do not belong here at all costs
...
In essence, Vasco Rossi did a cover of Creep , but took the music of a beautiful song, he "Vaschizzata" (made more Tamarra ovvero. ..) and we sang words from hard man he liked and they forgot the original text much more fragile and poetic.
Vasco has basically done the same thing that led to the success of Leone di Lernia, which at the beginning of 90 years, took the basics of successful dance-house and we sang over her stories in the dialect of Puglia looking for some sort of rhymes with the original verses.
fact, correct me ...
Vasco Rossi di Lernia Leone is worse, because the good Leone, despite its bucolic goliardia, would never be allowed to touch the sacred cows like Radiohead, but merely distorting musical gems of the likes of Corona, Crystal Waters, Technotronic, Paradisio ...
And so, when Vasco in the song says, "I suffer too often" I every time I hear "I suffer too much."
not cry for laughing.
