Oversized prayers


Smisurate preghiere. Sulla cattiva strada con Fabrizio De André, di C.G. Romana (Arcana)

La Genova stretta e impossibile da strapparsi dal cuore, il mare “dove ogni onda è un’altra”, gli straccioni senza vergogna, l’amore mercenario delle puttane, la morte che punisce i potenti, le preghiere senza Dio, l’eresia, la bestiemmia, l’anarchia. E poi ancora Villon, Rabelais, Brassens, Leonard Cohen, il Maggio francese, il Sessantotto, Spoon River, Aristofane, il canto delle onde e quello marinai.Smisurate is a journey of prayer and dense novel, lyrical and camo, made of small revelations and long anecdotes, memories exposed to the wind and narrated by his friend who shared the journey. A wraparound amarcord where the heart slows down and his head walks, and where sometimes you need a long breath to avoid being choked with emotion. The dreams, the doubts, the loves of our greatest singer-songwriter told through his songs and his golden voice. That of a poet who died with difficulty, or which, as anyone who has loved, in that January of '99 has never really died. "Why do not you write something about Don Quixote?". "I like Cervantes, but Don Quixote I never loved, "Fabrizio final sheared. And he launched into a digression on the dream, "which is something different dall'allegoria: the allegory returns the reality in a gift box, the dream eludes. "I am not one who sells dreams: the dreams you dream, the reality is told." He was never given more perfect definition of the work of Fabrizio De André: there was inside his fearless urgency of lucidity, stubborn sense of reality that, even in the wildest flights, still holding his poetry and makes it useful and great.
