The song is about the inner conflict we all struggle with, that's why he feels the song very much in his heart while singing it. The text speaks of two parts of the same person, the conscious and the unconscious that talk to each other, the life of dreams that collides with that of reality (just "Due vite", "two lives"). Truly a deep and emotional meaning, a beautiful music that together with the text take the audience into a dreamlike scenario. Furthermore Marco is an excellent interpreter, this makes the difference and makes this song perfect, because he transmits all the emotions to the audience that watches and listens to him, even to a foreign audience that does not understand the Italian language and this says everything about what a great artist is Marco.

Great comment, pin this! The only thing I've to say is that "My chain mail" isn't the right translation of "La mia maglia Metallica". That's actually the literal translation, but here he's referring to Metallica the band, so "My Metallica shirt" would be more appropiate.
this is the most amazing Eurovision song this year, I started listening to his other songs which are amazing! not to mention how beautiful he is, greetings from Lithuania
This is one of my favorite Eurovision 2023 songs and performances. The artist sings with his whole heart and takes the time to look at the audience. I really like the talking and breathy quality during the verses and his voice is amazing in the high registers, especially when he sings A vowels; it just melts my hearT. He did an amazing performance! :))
This is the Grand Final performance, and he was so excited like I never saw him before! Emotional as hell! (by the way, the lyrics are about an inner dialogue between the two parts of the same soul, the brave one trying to encourage the sad one - Due Vite means Two Lifes) You can clearly hear it at the beginning of the 2nd chorus: 'sE questa è l'ultima' (on that lower note of the E his breath cracked up). It was the beginning of the end! He was so scared that I can't imagine the effort he putted to bring all the energy on his diaphragm, to the point his arm got petrified (and it's not normal for him) and we all can see how a (cute) mess became the end, shacking his powerless body and falling down. But he still finished the song, and, at least, in a moving way. You could do a series about this song performances, because it's never the same. But this one has been the hardest one for him, even if in Sanremo he was tired and with sinusite issue.
looking at this, i see he is doing his best to not get to his stummic, were his raging emotions are. he has so much power. and he told us he was less emotional then in 2013. :)
Another great singer with a performance full of pathos is the 2020 Italian entry: Diodato - Fai Rumore. The one in the empty Arena di Verona precisely. It is full of pathos, as we were in lockdown and it still gives goosebumps hearing "I cant stand this unnatural silence" seeing him singing alone
Marco canta como un angel, con sentimiento y sensibilidad.Regala una emoción a todos los que le escuchamos y tiene una presencia impecable, es elegante y muy muy atractivo.Te queremos en España!!
You should take a look also to his song "Luce" in the live video recorded for Eurofestival and his version of "Let it be" with the Kingdom Choir for Sanremo festival
Für mich der beste Song seit langem. Eine fantastische Interpretation voll mit Gefühl. Marco hat eine hammer stimme. Der Song ist mega komponiert und arrangiert. Man kann nicht genug davon bekommen. Da ich selbst Komponist und Produzent bin glaube ich es beurteilen zu können. Neben dem Superstar Francesco (Kekko) Silvestri von der Band I Modá ist Marco für mich derzeit das beste was es so auf dem Markt gibt. Die hookline bleibt im Kopf. Für mich hat er den ESC 2023 gewonnen.
Totally agree! This year we had a lot of amazing songs 😍 To dance, to cry, to go crazy, was great! I know nothing about singing and your analysisi are very great to start understanding it! Yeah I think Marco was the best male singer this year and his song it is very emotional!
La canzone più bella, il migliore tra i cantanti, esecuzione da brivido. Marco è definitivamente uno degli orgogli italiani! Grande!!! Grazie Marco e grazie a te per lo stupendo e competenze commento a "Due vite"!
He's a very nice, polite guy with a beautiful soul At the end of the performance, he was shaking because he was so, so emotional, many times, even during concerts, it happens to him to cry because in all his songs there is alwsys a part of his life Marco, ti amiamo 😊❤
The shaking at the end always moves me! I don't think it was due to the stress of performing, or at least not only. In the lyrics he speaks about two lives, one of them is the psycological, hidden one, and in various interview he says that the lyrics are really personal, coming from lots of session with his terapist. Maybe he was recalling something in his head, and the feelings were so overwelming that he could not help but shaking.
@@MrMa1981 100% agree. Yes, emotional, but he is a PRO. He decided to 'let his emotions out'. That is a controlled, deliberate decision. Best performance of the grand final.
It must be a very personal song to him, he was emotional near the end, almost teraring up, even when he sang it at the Sanremo Festival. Very emotional
Yes it is. It tells about his struggles between his conscious and unconscious self. Search for one of his interviews about the meanings of his lyric: he bares his soul like no other one I've seen at ESC, humble, timid and fragile but also willing to share his fears with people in the audience and let them know he is human like them. Really one of a kind.
Italy has been in my top 3 this whole season and by the time he sang it in the final (which IMO was the best performance of this song that I have seen him do), he became my number one. Beautiful, emotional, beautiful instrumentation, amazing vocal, when he almost breaks down at the end, I really do break down every time. Loved him when he was there in 2013 and this year was even better.
0:21 You said it perfectly 👍 I'm so happy you got a listen to Marco's performance and yes, I pressed "Like" before even starting because I knew... He's truly one of a kind. Unusual tone, soulful voice, beautiful singing technique. Extremely expressive both vocally and visually (his face literally speaks!). On top of being a fantastic artist Marco is also a beautiful, caring human. Grazie for analysing this and most of all for loving it ❤🎶 PS: 3:38: the song is mostly about the "relationship" between conscious and unconscious mind 5:26: "La mia maglia metallica" > "My metallic shirt" 😉
Grazie Zoe Stibi hai spiegato benissimo la grande voce di Marco, lui è una delle voci più belle nella musica italiana 🎤🎶 👏👏 però la sua interpretazione a ogni canzone ti suscita emozione lui sa arrivare alle persone ,grazie per il video; ti saluto di Firenze-Italia 🤗🌹👋👋
I'm Italian and I love German, I tried to teach myself it several years ago, but my kids were so young that I was always too tired to concentrate... and it's such a difficult language! Anyway... I do love hearing an expert's opinion on a song I wasn't crazy about when I first heard it, but am starting to appreciate more and more. It has a lot to do with Marco Mengoni's talent and general loveliness as a human being and also, hearing singing coaches talk about him so expertly! Fascinating.
Hi Daniela, fantastic! I love German too, but Italian just always sounds sexy ;) It is definitely a difficult language for kids, but they will get it when they are older. ❤️
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach - It wasn't my kids I was trying to teach German to, just myself. Sorry, that wasn't worded very clearly. I meant that I was so tired looking after my kids that I didn't have the energy to concentrate on my German lesson, which is why I didn't learn very much. Haha!
I love the way you explain thecnically and emotionally. There is a very strong preparation from Marco behind this song and i love to hear it and see him performing every time.
Thanks for your video. Marco is the most beautiful male voice we have in Italy, he is known as a very sweet, sensitive and emotional guy, which makes him even more special. Experts call him an alien, because what he does with his voice doesn't sound out of this world, it's very difficult for a human being to do, he has perfect technique and he can play with his voice by changing it rapidly during the song. The songs presented in Sanremo are meant to be the best Italian song and not for Eurovision, where a different style often prevails (funny/trash songs), but this is real music and in my opinion Marco should have won, because he deserved first place. Instead he won a plagiarism, but apparently someone says that everything was already planned to do the next ESC in Sweden. Anyway the song is about the inner conflict we all struggle with, that's why he feels the song very much in his heart while singing it. The text speaks of two parts of the same person, the conscious and the unconscious that talk to each other, the life of dreams that collides with that of reality (just "Due vite", "two lives"). Truly a deep and emotional meaning, a beautiful music that together with the text take the audience into a dreamlike scenario. Furthermore Marco is an excellent interpreter, this makes the difference and makes this song perfect, because he transmits all the emotions to the audience that watches and listens to him, even to a foreign audience that does not understand the Italian language and this says everything about what a great artist is Marco.
In my opinion I prefer Mahmood, I like Marco and he did great in Eurovision but I don't think that he is that extra excellent. I think that he is a ver good singer but not more than a lot of others. But that just my opinion of course, not the absolute truth so I respect your very good explained opinion 😊😊 I hope you have a lovely day.
@@sweetmadne_ss and I respect yours but I tell you that there is no comparison in terms of voice and technique, that it is not debatable in the sense that it is an objective thing and that I repeat the experts have also explained, for the rest instead it is normal that everyone has a favorite singer and that you prefer Mahmood. In Italy the greatest singers of the past (Battisti, Dalla etc.) had the so-called "dirty voice" in the sense of vocally imperfect, yet they were poets and they reached your heart straight, so it is right that everyone has their own tastes regardless of the technique. I recommend you anyway to see the cover of the Beatles "Let it be" that Mengoni did in Sanremo, winning another award there too, because it's sublime and now I listen to it instead of the original.
This one was my favourite, I had quite a few that really caught my attention - Portugal, Moldova, Slovenia, Norway, Germany, Ireland, and also Croatia and Finland for the whole package. But this one just hit me right in the feels. Because he pours his heart out in the song. I really enjoyed both your enthusiasm and the detailed analysis.
Quote from Marco. “I speak about this double life in the song: the life of the night and dreams that becomes more real than the dreams themselves, and the life I live every day. “
As an italian whi doesnt listen to italian misic much, Marco Mengoni is one of the best voices we have today in our country. He's amazing. His songs are deep, amazing quality vocals, always full of emotion. He's a really great artist and im glad you checked him out, thank you ❤
🇮🇹 > 🇬🇧 LYRICS TRANSLATION : We are the only ones awake in the whole universe And I don't know your desert well yet Maybe it's in a place in my heart where the sun is always out Where sometimes I lose you, but if I want I'll catch you We stand still in a time like this, lifting the streets With the sky one step away, we are the monsters and the fairies I should phone you, tell you the things I feel But I'm out of excuses and I'm out of defenses We are a book on the floor in an empty house that feels like our own Coffee with lemon against hangover, you look like a moved picture And we screwed ourselves one more night outside a club And thank goodness If this is the last song and then the moon will explode I'll be there to tell you wrong, you're wrong and you know it Here the music doesn't come And you don't sleep and where will you be? Where will you go? When life then goes too far All the running, the slapping, the mistakes you make When something agitates you So much I know you don't sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep ever What turns two lives make We're the only ones awake in all the universe To shout some anger over a rooftop That no one feels this way That no one watches movies anymore The flowers in your room My metal shirt We are a book on the floor in an empty house that feels like our own Lost among people, how many words without ever an answer And we screwed ourselves one more night outside a club And thank goodness If this is the last song and then the moon will explode I'll be there to tell you wrong, you're wrong and you know it Here the music doesn't come And you don't sleep and where will you be? Where will you go? When life then goes too far All the running, the slapping, the mistakes you make When something agitates you I know you don't sleep anyway You turn off the light even if you don't want to We stay in the dark enveloped only by the sound of your voice Beyond the madness that dances in all things Two lives, look at the mess If this is the last (song and then the moon will explode) song I'll be there to tell you wrong, you're wrong and you know it Here doesn't come the music I know you don't sleep anyway, sleep, sleep, sleep never What turns two lives make Two lives
Is that an automatic translation? "La mia maglia Metallica" means "My Metallica shirt" i.e. a shirt of the band Metallica The last line means "What goes around [i.e. what happens] makes two lives"
Il vero vincitore è Marco Mengoni. Nessuno era alla sua altezza , il migliore. La più bella canzone, la più bella voce, la più bella Interpretazione. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆❤

@@alterego5824 è che la gente ha strani gusti. La canzone finlandese secondo me va bene in un villaggio turistico per il miniclub dei bambini. Poi i gusti sono gusti
@@alessandroroveda2859 beh si certo, evidentemente però la maggioranza della gente concorda sul fatto. che la Finlandia meritava di vincere, visto che ha ottenuto quasi 400 punti al televoto. Mengoni al televoto è arrivato sesto, dopo Finlandia, Svezia, Norvegia, Ucraina e Israele...
I'm Italian, and I'm so pleased to see that even people from other countries love Italian music. Well, I can't blame you for that, Marco Mengoni is one of the most talented singers Italy has nowadays 😂🇮🇹.
Marco is phenomenal. I had the pleasure of seeing him live many many times and his voice is truly supernatural ❤His entire discography is worth listening, I recommend you take a look 🥰
The song is emotional, the way you stand on it moves me even more... I'm Italian I understand what he says and what you say and I'm full of emotion seeing this video❤😢
Brava!!! 🤩You're a great vocal coach! I love your passion, so engaging. It doesn't hurt that you were commenting on a beautiful voice like Mengoni's ;)😍
Let me just say that this year was absolutely amazing! We had a lot of great songs. The level of the Eurovision this year was really high! I have at least a few of my personal favorites ❤
omfg yeah he's So good!!! you should totally check out his klama performance at notte della taranta, i found it absolutely HEART-WRENCHING in the best way possible even with very little grasp of the language (it's in grico, a regional greek-italian dialect)
I've been listening to him since he was in the Eurovision with "L'essenziale" and in 2023 finally got a chance to go to a concert in Amsterdam, and omg he was just as good the whole live concert! I think I might have even liked his songs better live which does not happen that often for me with artists. I think it's because you can feel that not only is he a fantastic singer but also puts so much emotion and passion into his music. And I could feel all of that without even speaking Italian or understanding that much about singing even. That's big in my eyes.
This was my favourite beloved the most fabulous emotional and vocally perfect song in the entire competition. It just touched my heart. I don't understand the language but the emotions in his voice speak the world. ❤❤❤
Marco is a great singer. You can tell 'cause he's able to put every single person in his corner. It doesn't really matter what kind of music you're into. He's good. And despite your taste, you're gonna listen to him anyway. For example, i'm into punk, punk rock, rock or pop punk whatever... i still enjoy his voice. Plus the lyrics are very touching. I'm not that good in english, even if i can speak it pretty well, or at least people from other countries undestands me... but if you, as a vocal coach enjoy Marco's voice, that means you should understand what he's saying too. So: "We are the only ones awake in the whole universe, and i still don't know your "desert" well maybe it's a place in my heart where the sun is always turned off where sometimes i lose you, but if i want, i'll catch you we are stuck in a time like this, that lifts the streets with the sky one step away from here, we are the monsters and the fairies I should call you, tell you the things i feel but i've run out of excuses and i have no more defences. We are a book on the floor in an empy house that looks like our own coffee with lemon to fight the hungover, it looks like a blurred photo and we screwed up again one night outside a bar and thank goodness! If this is the last song and then the moon will explode, i'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it there's no music here and you don't sleep and where will you be? Where are you going? When life goes too far all the races, the slaps, the mistakes you make when something upsets you i know that you don't sleep... sleep... sleep, sleep anyway what turns two lives can take? We are the only ones awake in the whole universe shouting in anger from a rooftop that no one feels this way that no one watches movies anymore the flowers in your room, my Metallica's shirt we are a book on the floor in an empty house that looks like our own lost among people, how many words that never receive a response? And we screwed up again one night outside a bar and thank goodness! If this is the last song and then the moon will explode, i'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you'rew wrong and you know it there's no music here and you don't sleep and where will you be? Where are you going? When life goes too far all the races, the slaps, the mistakes you make when something upsets you i know that you don't sleep... sleep... sleep, sleep anyway Turn off the lights even if you don't want to we sit in the dark surrounded only by the sound of the voices beyond the madness that dances in all things two lives, look at this mess!

indeed since December 2022 when Amadeus chose him for the Sanremo Festival 2023. he was already given as a winner even then
I became a little emotional at the end when he came to the end of his performance, the pressure most have been immense. Bravo and he got my vote.
For me this was the winner. It is such a beautiful song. 12 points from Australia

The song is called 'Two Lives' (Due vite). 'It talks about relationships - Mengoni explained in a statement - focusing on the most intimate relationship, the one with oneself. It's a song that tells a lot about me right now, it's an intimate journey but also an invitation to all of us to accept everything life offers us, without thinking about what it should or could be. We need all that we live to grow.' This is the full text:
We are the only ones awake in the entire universe
And I still don't know your desert well
Maybe it's somewhere in my heart
Where the sun is always off
Where sometimes I lose you
But if I want I'll take you
We are stuck in such a time
Which lifts the streets
With the sky one step away from here
We are the monsters and the fairies
I should phone you
Tell you the things I feel
But I'm out of excuses
And I have no more defenses
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
Which looks like ours
Coffee with lemon
Against hangover
You look like a blurred photo
And we fucked one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last
Song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong you're wrong and you know it
There's no music here
And you don't sleep
And where will you be
Where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the runs the slaps the mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you don't sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep never
What turns do two lives
We are the only ones awake in the entire universe
Shouting a little rage on a rooftop
That no one feels this way
That no one watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My chain mail
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
Which looks like ours
Lost among people
How many words
Without ever an answer
And we fucked one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last
Song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong you're wrong and you know it
There's no music here
And you don't sleep
And where will you be
Where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the running and slapping the mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you are not sleeping
Turn off the light even if you don't like it
We stay wrapped up in the dark
Just from the sound of the voice
Beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look at the mess
If this is the last
Song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong you're wrong and you know it
There's no music here
I know that you don't sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep never
What turns do two lives
Two lives
This need to be top comment!
Wonderful, thanks for the explanation and the lyrics.
Grazie mille per la tua bellissima traduzione ❤
Great comment, pin this!
The only thing I've to say is that "My chain mail" isn't the right translation of "La mia maglia Metallica".
That's actually the literal translation, but here he's referring to Metallica the band, so "My Metallica shirt" would be more appropiate.

Italy could easily win Eurovision every year, IMO
The best song of Eurovision 2023
100%!
❤
Yes! Yes! Yes! Numero uno!❤
this is the most amazing Eurovision song this year, I started listening to his other songs which are amazing! not to mention how beautiful he is, greetings from Lithuania
Oh thank you, grazie from Italy 😊
This is one of my favorite Eurovision 2023 songs and performances. The artist sings with his whole heart and takes the time to look at the audience. I really like the talking and breathy quality during the verses and his voice is amazing in the high registers, especially when he sings A vowels; it just melts my hearT. He did an amazing performance! :))
You are right, he IS a wonderful singer! In terms of interpretation he was way better than all the others, really....
This is the Grand Final performance, and he was so excited like I never saw him before! Emotional as hell! (by the way, the lyrics are about an inner dialogue between the two parts of the same soul, the brave one trying to encourage the sad one - Due Vite means Two Lifes)
You can clearly hear it at the beginning of the 2nd chorus: 'sE questa è l'ultima' (on that lower note of the E his breath cracked up). It was the beginning of the end! He was so scared that I can't imagine the effort he putted to bring all the energy on his diaphragm, to the point his arm got petrified (and it's not normal for him) and we all can see how a (cute) mess became the end, shacking his powerless body and falling down. But he still finished the song, and, at least, in a moving way. You could do a series about this song performances, because it's never the same. But this one has been the hardest one for him, even if in Sanremo he was tired and with sinusite issue.
looking at this, i see he is doing his best to not get to his stummic, were his raging emotions are. he has so much power. and he told us he was less emotional then in 2013. :)
Marco is really one of a kind. Wonderful and soulful voice
He is just amazing.
Grazie Marco 💚🤍❤
Marco è arrivato quarto ma ha vinto il premio della critica.
A forth place which is a triumph
Another great singer with a performance full of pathos is the 2020 Italian entry: Diodato - Fai Rumore. The one in the empty Arena di Verona precisely. It is full of pathos, as we were in lockdown and it still gives goosebumps hearing "I cant stand this unnatural silence" seeing him singing alone
Proud to be italian just to have a singer like him ❤
My personal winner of 2023. Probably the best in the last decade of Italian Sanremo.
One of my favourites this year. Beautiful song and performance. Really cool to see your professional analysis of some of the details of the singing. ❤
Very great reaction and analysis. In this case we can say the beauty is objective.
Marco canta como un angel, con sentimiento y sensibilidad.Regala una emoción a todos los que le escuchamos y tiene una presencia impecable, es elegante y muy muy atractivo.Te queremos en España!!
Non c'è nessuno come lui. Marco Mengoni ha una voce unica, inconfondibile. Le sue canzoni emozionano sempre, perché lui è pura emozione .
You should take a look also to his song "Luce" in the live video recorded for Eurofestival and his version of "Let it be" with the Kingdom Choir for Sanremo festival
Für mich der beste Song seit langem. Eine fantastische Interpretation voll mit Gefühl. Marco hat eine hammer stimme. Der Song ist mega komponiert und arrangiert. Man kann nicht genug davon bekommen. Da ich selbst Komponist und Produzent bin glaube ich es beurteilen zu können. Neben dem Superstar Francesco (Kekko) Silvestri von der Band I Modá ist Marco für mich derzeit das beste was es so auf dem Markt gibt. Die hookline bleibt im Kopf. Für mich hat er den ESC 2023 gewonnen.
Totally agree! This year we had a lot of amazing songs 😍 To dance, to cry, to go crazy, was great!
I know nothing about singing and your analysisi are very great to start understanding it! Yeah I think Marco was the best male singer this year and his song it is very emotional!
La canzone più bella, il migliore tra i cantanti, esecuzione da brivido. Marco è definitivamente uno degli orgogli italiani! Grande!!! Grazie Marco e grazie a te per lo stupendo e competenze commento a "Due vite"!
So beatiful when someone could appreciate the quality in music. Tks.
This was my favorite song this year. It’s so beautiful and it made me tear up at the end 😢 It really deserved to win.
He's a very nice, polite guy with a beautiful soul
At the end of the performance, he was shaking because he was so, so emotional, many times, even during concerts, it happens to him to cry because in all his songs there is alwsys a part of his life
Marco, ti amiamo 😊❤
I love Marco! great performer, Amazing Singer and sweet soul ❤️ I'm very proud of him 🇮🇹
The shaking at the end always moves me! I don't think it was due to the stress of performing, or at least not only. In the lyrics he speaks about two lives, one of them is the psycological, hidden one, and in various interview he says that the lyrics are really personal, coming from lots of session with his terapist. Maybe he was recalling something in his head, and the feelings were so overwelming that he could not help but shaking.
He struggle for avoid to starting cry and... he did.
@@MrMa1981 100% agree. Yes, emotional, but he is a PRO. He decided to 'let his emotions out'. That is a controlled, deliberate decision. Best performance of the grand final.
This is Eurovision song contest winner, the best song and the best performance !
He's the winner for me❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It must be a very personal song to him, he was emotional near the end, almost teraring up, even when he sang it at the Sanremo Festival. Very emotional
Yes it is. It tells about his struggles between his conscious and unconscious self. Search for one of his interviews about the meanings of his lyric: he bares his soul like no other one I've seen at ESC, humble, timid and fragile but also willing to share his fears with people in the audience and let them know he is human like them.
Really one of a kind.
Italy has been in my top 3 this whole season and by the time he sang it in the final (which IMO was the best performance of this song that I have seen him do), he became my number one. Beautiful, emotional, beautiful instrumentation, amazing vocal, when he almost breaks down at the end, I really do break down every time. Loved him when he was there in 2013 and this year was even better.
0:21 You said it perfectly 👍 I'm so happy you got a listen to Marco's performance and yes, I pressed "Like" before even starting because I knew... He's truly one of a kind. Unusual tone, soulful voice, beautiful singing technique. Extremely expressive both vocally and visually (his face literally speaks!). On top of being a fantastic artist Marco is also a beautiful, caring human. Grazie for analysing this and most of all for loving it ❤🎶
PS:
3:38: the song is mostly about the "relationship" between conscious and unconscious mind
5:26: "La mia maglia metallica" > "My metallic shirt" 😉
La mia maglia “Metallica”, I think he means “my Metallica (the band) t-shirt”.
Thank you so much for this video
@@elisabettaluciani9080 la mia maglia metallica ( di metallo, di ferro) come quella che portavano i cavalieri medievali....
I’m so lucky to be Italian and understand the lyrics 🥹
that was the best song this year! great! bravissimo Marco Mengoni
Grazie Zoe Stibi hai spiegato benissimo la grande voce di Marco, lui è una delle voci più belle nella musica italiana 🎤🎶 👏👏 però la sua interpretazione a ogni canzone ti suscita emozione lui sa arrivare alle persone ,grazie per il video; ti saluto di Firenze-Italia 🤗🌹👋👋
He was magnificent, my oersonal favourite❤
Best song best voice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 straordinario Marco 🇮🇹
I'm Italian and I love German, I tried to teach myself it several years ago, but my kids were so young that I was always too tired to concentrate... and it's such a difficult language! Anyway... I do love hearing an expert's opinion on a song I wasn't crazy about when I first heard it, but am starting to appreciate more and more. It has a lot to do with Marco Mengoni's talent and general loveliness as a human being and also, hearing singing coaches talk about him so expertly! Fascinating.
Hi Daniela, fantastic! I love German too, but Italian just always sounds sexy ;) It is definitely a difficult language for kids, but they will get it when they are older. ❤️
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach - It wasn't my kids I was trying to teach German to, just myself. Sorry, that wasn't worded very clearly. I meant that I was so tired looking after my kids that I didn't have the energy to concentrate on my German lesson, which is why I didn't learn very much. Haha!
at the end of the song Marco gets emotional and holds back his tears and his voice breaks a little. he hears what he sings and transmits it
Non mi stanco mai di ascoltare questa canzone, salgono tutte le mie emozioni, è sempre come ascoltarla la prima volta,bravissima x la reazione
Marco is amazing
I love the way you explain thecnically and emotionally. There is a very strong preparation from Marco behind this song and i love to hear it and see him performing every time.
Marco is amazing! it makes no sense that he didn't win. This song is going down in history! Bravo Marco!!!
Thanks for your video. Marco is the most beautiful male voice we have in Italy, he is known as a very sweet, sensitive and emotional guy, which makes him even more special.
Experts call him an alien, because what he does with his voice doesn't sound out of this world, it's very difficult for a human being to do, he has perfect technique and he can play with his voice by changing it rapidly during the song.
The songs presented in Sanremo are meant to be the best Italian song and not for Eurovision, where a different style often prevails (funny/trash songs), but this is real music and in my opinion Marco should have won, because he deserved first place. Instead he won a plagiarism, but apparently someone says that everything was already planned to do the next ESC in Sweden.
Anyway the song is about the inner conflict we all struggle with, that's why he feels the song very much in his heart while singing it. The text speaks of two parts of the same person, the conscious and the unconscious that talk to each other, the life of dreams that collides with that of reality (just "Due vite", "two lives").
Truly a deep and emotional meaning, a beautiful music that together with the text take the audience into a dreamlike scenario. Furthermore Marco is an excellent interpreter, this makes the difference and makes this song perfect, because he transmits all the emotions to the audience that watches and listens to him, even to a foreign audience that does not understand the Italian language and this says everything about what a great artist is Marco.
In my opinion I prefer Mahmood, I like Marco and he did great in Eurovision but I don't think that he is that extra excellent. I think that he is a ver good singer but not more than a lot of others. But that just my opinion of course, not the absolute truth so I respect your very good explained opinion 😊😊 I hope you have a lovely day.
he thinks that if the song Tatoo were in Sanremo he would be disqualified outright
@@sweetmadne_ss and I respect yours but I tell you that there is no comparison in terms of voice and technique, that it is not debatable in the sense that it is an objective thing and that I repeat the experts have also explained, for the rest instead it is normal that everyone has a favorite singer and that you prefer Mahmood. In Italy the greatest singers of the past (Battisti, Dalla etc.) had the so-called "dirty voice" in the sense of vocally imperfect, yet they were poets and they reached your heart straight, so it is right that everyone has their own tastes regardless of the technique. I recommend you anyway to see the cover of the Beatles "Let it be" that Mengoni did in Sanremo, winning another award there too, because it's sublime and now I listen to it instead of the original.
This one was my favourite, I had quite a few that really caught my attention - Portugal, Moldova, Slovenia, Norway, Germany, Ireland, and also Croatia and Finland for the whole package.
But this one just hit me right in the feels. Because he pours his heart out in the song.
I really enjoyed both your enthusiasm and the detailed analysis.
This makes me cry everytime 🥲😊
Me too!
Quote from Marco. “I speak about this double life in the song: the life of the night and dreams that becomes more real than the dreams themselves, and the life I live every day. “
Marco è pura magia, nato per dare emozioni. Grazie per apprezzarlo in questo modo così appassionato! ❤❤❤❤
As an italian whi doesnt listen to italian misic much, Marco Mengoni is one of the best voices we have today in our country. He's amazing. His songs are deep, amazing quality vocals, always full of emotion. He's a really great artist and im glad you checked him out, thank you ❤
I agree this is fantastic!
Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time. Ahhhh, thank you! ^^
This was my douze points !
We know in Italy we have this great music interpreter and we love him! We are so proud of him.♥♥♥
He is incredible! I am going to his concert in November! Can't wait!
🇮🇹 > 🇬🇧 LYRICS TRANSLATION :
We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I don't know your desert well yet
Maybe it's in a place in my heart where the sun is always out
Where sometimes I lose you, but if I want I'll catch you
We stand still in a time like this, lifting the streets
With the sky one step away, we are the monsters and the fairies
I should phone you, tell you the things I feel
But I'm out of excuses and I'm out of defenses
We are a book on the floor in an empty house that feels like our own
Coffee with lemon against hangover, you look like a moved picture
And we screwed ourselves one more night outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you wrong, you're wrong and you know it
Here the music doesn't come
And you don't sleep and where will you be? Where will you go?
When life then goes too far
All the running, the slapping, the mistakes you make
When something agitates you
So much I know you don't sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep ever
What turns two lives make
We're the only ones awake in all the universe
To shout some anger over a rooftop
That no one feels this way
That no one watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My metal shirt
We are a book on the floor in an empty house that feels like our own
Lost among people, how many words without ever an answer
And we screwed ourselves one more night outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you wrong, you're wrong and you know it
Here the music doesn't come
And you don't sleep and where will you be? Where will you go?
When life then goes too far
All the running, the slapping, the mistakes you make
When something agitates you
I know you don't sleep anyway
You turn off the light even if you don't want to
We stay in the dark enveloped only by the sound of your voice
Beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look at the mess
If this is the last (song and then the moon will explode) song
I'll be there to tell you wrong, you're wrong and you know it
Here doesn't come the music
I know you don't sleep anyway, sleep, sleep, sleep never
What turns two lives make
Two lives
Is that an automatic translation?
"La mia maglia Metallica" means "My Metallica shirt" i.e. a shirt of the band Metallica
The last line means "What goes around [i.e. what happens] makes two lives"
@@Elisheva009 yes, it's the big G. translator 😂
Sono davvero felice che anche voi all'estero abbiate scoperto ed apprezzato il nostro Marco Mengoni.
The winner for me ❤
Marco Mengoni is simply magical... he touches so many people ... this is art, this is passion.. this is magic...
Il vero vincitore è Marco Mengoni. Nessuno era alla sua altezza , il migliore. La più bella canzone, la più bella voce, la più bella Interpretazione. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆❤
Assolutamente d'accordo 👏👏👏
Dal punto di vista vocale Islanda era migliore. Purtroppo no ha passato preselezione. Vincitrice tutte le si diesis non ha cantato pulito.
Lei ha detto una sacrosanta verità. Marco Mengoni non è da eurofestival. Lui è semplicemente oltre.
Thanks very much for your best reaction!!!!! Kisses from Italy!!!!
He is definitely my winner,, Marco’s emotional,passionate and brilliant performance melted my heart,a sublime song and so proud he did so well representing bella Italia,enjoyed your video and appreciation immensely 👏🏼👍💕
Thank you Diana!
It's absurd that Finland finished second and Marco fourth...🤦♂️
I don’t like ballads.
This was better then the winner, but overall who Donny like ballads, it will be always a meh.
True
Sono italiano, ma la Finlandia meritava di vincere. Mengoni bravissimo, ma la Finlandia ha fatto divertire e ballare tutta Europa
@@alterego5824 è che la gente ha strani gusti. La canzone finlandese secondo me va bene in un villaggio turistico per il miniclub dei bambini. Poi i gusti sono gusti
@@alessandroroveda2859 beh si certo, evidentemente però la maggioranza della gente concorda sul fatto. che la Finlandia meritava di vincere, visto che ha ottenuto quasi 400 punti al televoto. Mengoni al televoto è arrivato sesto, dopo Finlandia, Svezia, Norvegia, Ucraina e Israele...
Love his voice, and he masters it so well. A true singer.
Marco made Eurovision this year so emotional and uprising I love Marco’s song very much
Marco was my favourite and i wish he had won, he had the best vocal on the night.
Italian o sole meio - Jann from Poland 1000 times better but didn’t get the stage 😂
He's talking about a finished love. If you ever lived the end of a love, you'll catch not only his skills, but also overwhelming emotions
Marco was and is my favorite from esc 2023. So touching and emotional! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Italian, and I'm so pleased to see that even people from other countries love Italian music. Well, I can't blame you for that, Marco Mengoni is one of the most talented singers Italy has nowadays 😂🇮🇹.
You're absolutely right, darling 💝
As you can see, at the end of the Song he was very emotional and he was crying 😢.
It was stunning!!!
I agree 100% with you. I love this song. This is beautiful!
Marco is phenomenal. I had the pleasure of seeing him live many many times and his voice is truly supernatural ❤His entire discography is worth listening, I recommend you take a look 🥰
The song is emotional, the way you stand on it moves me even more... I'm Italian I understand what he says and what you say and I'm full of emotion seeing this video❤😢
Thank you! I agree it really moved me 😭
Brava!!! 🤩You're a great vocal coach! I love your passion, so engaging. It doesn't hurt that you were commenting on a beautiful voice like Mengoni's ;)😍
Thank you so very much for rating Marco. He is such a talent and he is very loved in Italy. This song is so intimate. Tanti Baci. Diana
Beautiful Marco: a singer-actor dressed by Versace with metal and crystals ... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Let me just say that this year was absolutely amazing! We had a lot of great songs. The level of the Eurovision this year was really high!
I have at least a few of my personal favorites ❤
omfg yeah he's So good!!! you should totally check out his klama performance at notte della taranta, i found it absolutely HEART-WRENCHING in the best way possible even with very little grasp of the language (it's in grico, a regional greek-italian dialect)
It’s worth to improve Italian language to understand this magic song 🥰
I don't think I'll get there ;( but I can read the translation 🥰
Thank you for your good opinion and all your advice❤🇮🇹
Sweden here😚this was and still is my number 1.
Many thanks, smart Madam. Pointed comment. Ciao from Italy! 🌹
I've been listening to him since he was in the Eurovision with "L'essenziale" and in 2023 finally got a chance to go to a concert in Amsterdam, and omg he was just as good the whole live concert! I think I might have even liked his songs better live which does not happen that often for me with artists. I think it's because you can feel that not only is he a fantastic singer but also puts so much emotion and passion into his music. And I could feel all of that without even speaking Italian or understanding that much about singing even. That's big in my eyes.
La mejor canción e interpretación del Eurovision 2023. Enamorado de Marco. Gracias por esta maravillosa canción.
This was my favourite beloved the most fabulous emotional and vocally perfect song in the entire competition. It just touched my heart. I don't understand the language but the emotions in his voice speak the world. ❤❤❤
Right?! Me too 😭
Marco is a great singer. You can tell 'cause he's able to put every single person in his corner. It doesn't really matter what kind of music you're into. He's good. And despite your taste, you're gonna listen to him anyway. For example, i'm into punk, punk rock, rock or pop punk whatever... i still enjoy his voice. Plus the lyrics are very touching. I'm not that good in english, even if i can speak it pretty well, or at least people from other countries undestands me... but if you, as a vocal coach enjoy Marco's voice, that means you should understand what he's saying too. So:
"We are the only ones awake in the whole universe,
and i still don't know your "desert" well
maybe it's a place in my heart where the sun is always turned off
where sometimes i lose you,
but if i want, i'll catch you
we are stuck in a time like this, that lifts the streets
with the sky one step away from here,
we are the monsters and the fairies
I should call you, tell you the things i feel
but i've run out of excuses and i have no more defences.
We are a book on the floor in an empy house that looks like our own
coffee with lemon to fight the hungover, it looks like a blurred photo
and we screwed up again one night outside a bar
and thank goodness!
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode,
i'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
there's no music here
and you don't sleep and where will you be?
Where are you going?
When life goes too far
all the races, the slaps, the mistakes you make
when something upsets you
i know that you don't sleep... sleep... sleep, sleep anyway
what turns two lives can take?
We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
shouting in anger from a rooftop
that no one feels this way
that no one watches movies anymore
the flowers in your room, my Metallica's shirt
we are a book on the floor in an empty house that looks like our own
lost among people, how many words that never receive a response?
And we screwed up again one night outside a bar
and thank goodness!
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode,
i'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you'rew wrong and you know it
there's no music here
and you don't sleep and where will you be?
Where are you going?
When life goes too far
all the races, the slaps, the mistakes you make
when something upsets you
i know that you don't sleep... sleep... sleep, sleep anyway
Turn off the lights even if you don't want to
we sit in the dark surrounded only by the sound of the voices
beyond the madness that dances in all things

This is my favorite song at this year's Eurovision!!! 1. Due Vite 2. Because Of You 3. Tattoo
He should be on a podium in that edition and he just arrived 4th! No comment...
Love your recognition of this great Italian singer, strongly suggests you now to look into the lyrics...it's pure poetry about a journey into your own personality...Bellissima!
Respect!!!!
Couldn't agree more! He is a fabulous singer!
My absolute winner, by far!
❤
from Portugal 🇵🇹
I agree, the most beautiful voice of the contest. L‘essenziale 🥰
He should have won. So emotional. Gives me chills everytime
THAT.. WAS.. THE.. BEST.. SONG .. INDEED..!!!! ❤
