How Long Does A Charley Horse Last

For brevity called Artist

Poor policy, little love, so much life and art center. Strange but true. We are far from the most recent G De Regoria always close to politics and always elegant and perfect in sound and lyrics. This is far from a perfect album.

Born during its theatrical tour the record reflects both the context in which it was born. Musically, the pieces seem almost improvised, without a thread, messy yet beautiful.

Bizarre round but the sounds in the lyrics. The singer says that he feels the same now that they are more pieces to be played in small clubs in stadiums or arenas. Spare musicalmenti living, sparkling and at the same time light. Outstanding work if you think that the entire project was completed in a month and while the " Prince" was around the theaters in Italy with his band.

As for poetry texts once again copyright, true poetry. But the tone is different. Less controversial than usual, less specifically political themes near De Gregori is a poetry that is more rational, because it is poetry. As always deep and sharp to the right point. Almost
returns De Gregori sealed, to Rimmel to speak.
But there is one thing in common with all previous work: the courage.

The courage to call upon God to " Every day of rain Dio manda in terra ", una canzone che parla di vita vera dove si nota l'immancabile stile dylaniano in cui l'armanica decora straordinariamente l'intero pezzo.
Il coraggio di dichiarare che il '68 è un fallimento nelle sue radici fino a rinnegarlo. "Ci sono posti dove sono stato, posti dove non tornare.....certe stanche stanze...dove discutono di architettura e democrazia.....Dove il Piave Mormorava...E la sinistra era paralizzata e la destra lavorava". Queste strofe sono di " Celebrazione " una vera e propria perla di saggezza, di poesia e di musica leggera. Un testo che in quanto a coraggio ricorda senz'altro il suo " Cuoco di Salo " in cui il cantautore senza mezzi termini ricordava che anche i morti della Republic of Salò, are remembered and respected. "The wrong people die ....... olds eaten in the spring."

But it is a De Gregori always very careful to describe the beautiful as social Broken windows or the equally beautiful " human flesh for breakfast " "there's a light in the sky Gurd you're right where there was once a world but now no longer exists, but there really is over and somehow, it is almost nothing left except the echo of a radiation.
In the text written by his brother Luigi Grechi , " L'angelo di Lyon ," fa capolino anche l'amore mentre il De Gregori classico c'è nei pezzi " L'imperfetto " e " L'infinito ".

Questo è un disco che lui definisce una sorta di autobiografia fantastica. Strano sentire un De Gregori ironico sulla sua persona fino a paragonarsi ad "un ubriaco sulle scale che quando cade sa cadere o non si fa vedere". Strano sentirlo ricordare che è lui l'autore che dava la buonanotte ai fiori e calcolava i cani. Strano il titolo " Per brevità chiamato artista ", come recitava il suo primo contratto discografico.

Ma nell volontà dell'autore c'è in realtà il desiderio di mettere al centro art. The art as true art. De Gregori in this work that screams songwriters are artists, to save the national heritage and should be treated as such and not as mere pieces of waste selvage on the market. De Gregori

short time and does not disappoint even his poetry shines even stronger on this record. Even this work is successful because it was already at first listen it clearly shows the entire contents sound, practical and poetic.
The sign that this is an album successful is the lack of consideration that are having the first radio single "For brevity called Artist", as stated by the singer in Rome. But in radio today are to govern the idiocies and poetry is taken into account.
would be too much to ask on the radio today to convey a little more musical culture, which would probably be poorly understood even by very young people increasingly shackled by appearances and less attentive to the great authors that "For the sake of brevity are called artists."
