He explained in an interview how he feels society has lost its way that’s what the songs about, he’s a man with no social media and has went very off grid in recent years and was uncomfortable with the fame, but to us Scots he’s a national treasure 👏🏻
He's also said it was written from his view of the Scottish independence vote in 2014. Song makes sense from that point really. The song was released at that time.
In an interview to the Sun newspaper about the song, Paolo said ... "The more I watch politicians in action, it just makes me angry. I watch certain politicians get asked questions that need answers and may just prance around with a big laugh and smile on their face. Politicians have an arrogance. I just do not understand." I think it's a song about the common man breaking free of the platitudes and lies of those that would want to control the message and us.
That was a unique moment that only comes once in a lifetime. This recording has everything , really everything you can express from the bottom of your soul . Unforgettable > just Magic
"This iron sky that is fast becoming our minds" when you just believe what you're told to believe. An iron sky can't let the light of truth in, it can't know the brightness of knowledge, the light of who you are sputters and flickers when you just exist to do what you're told.
Exactly. And literal as well. Electrical sky, wired sky, skynet. This guy... knows as people say. I was baffled people believed this to be about Scottish independence. Nah. Its pretty clear what he is alking about if you hold a certain perspective of our realm
@@aiarta2280Paulo is Scottish 🏴 this was released the same year as the referendum. This is absolutely about a free Scotland. The words resonate on so many levels with listeners around the planet. But as a Scot, from a Scots perspective, this is absolutely about an independent Scotland 🏴 power to the people 🙏
He indicated in a Radio New Zealand video from about 6 years ago, that when he wrote this he was toying with the idea of what it would look like if we could see all the signals flying about us in the sky from our technology, or see the idea behind interacting with technology instead of each other as a visual thing, that instead of dealing with a ticket taker who has mouths to feed, we interact with machines that don't need a raise, and how that is all a tool used by dictators like those in the Chaplin quote. Reading through the lyrics, including that speech excerpt, with this in mind, really opens up vistas of understanding, exposing the 'man behind the curtain'. It also explains why Paolo lives pretty much off grid with respect to social media, and perhaps why all the instruments and equipment in the video look so vintage, and even down to the sounds the ladies are singing and the electronic rhythmic sound at the end, reminiscent of some early analog tech used in music (like that tone the ladies are singing which sounds like an old theremin, that box with two antennas that you wave your hand over to make those weird heterodyne tones, or the ARP 2600 analog synthesizer used by Edgar Winter Group in their song _Frankenstein),_ instead of today's digital-based musical editing software. Stunning to consider his premise, that in service to ease or perhaps in our arrogance, we placed the digital (or 'iron') yoke on ourselves, willingly, and now it's an oppressive sky of iron crushing down on us, being used against us by machine men with machine hearts, and that it is fast becoming our minds. Hopefully, we can one day pierce that dome, defeat those machine men and their seductive tools they use to control us, and emerge... into freedom!
I love how you said "I hope his voice is able to make the song interesting" and then he turns around and belts out that crazy unique raspy mad range instrument of his. Like yes, I think his voice makes the song interesting to say the least. Great performance, great reaction!
You want to know what this is about? Paolo is from Paisley, a part of Glasgow, Scotland. This song came out the year, we, the Scots were voting for our independence from Britain. We will eventually get it. ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴
That is your opinion, this is mine. Learn your history. Scotland was an independent country for hundreds of years before it was part of a union. We were not conquered contrary to some beliefs, it was indeed a union. To use your disrespectful tone - FACTS!!!!
@@suethecoocovers3849It'll happen for us. Time will come! Gotta have faith. I certainly do n won't give up on it, ever. Although, gotta say Paisley ain't 'part' of Glasgow tho. It's a separate n distinct town next to Glaagow.
@@jayonenote7527geographically maybe. We have only been part of a union for 300 years. Scotland needs to get Westminster and the entire British establishment to fuck! England goes more right wing, Scotland gets more left wing. We are not in sync at all. We need to be free of all of it. Paulo knows what he’s talking about 🏴
Charlie Chaplin - The Great Dictator. He's a big fan of Charlie Chaplin and wanted to use the speech to reinforce what he was saying in the song. He's basically said it's about a few different things for him (man vs machine, the state of the world, a song full of questions with no answers), but he understands that everyone can interpret it to be about whatever they're questioning or what's pissing them off for the day. He's Scottish and hasn't caught on in the US, but is very popular in the UK and Europe, and pretty well known everywhere else. Three albums, waiting on a 4th album 🤞🏼 His rasp is partially thanks to smoking weed every day since he was 16. He admitted that in an interview and got some flak for it in the press. Anyway, other standouts: any song that he's performed on the Jools Holland Show in the UK is a good start. He is great on his records, but live is where he shines and mesmerizes. So much talent. Also, the small live performance video titled "Paolo Nutini Nashville, Lightning 100 Radio" is amazing. His voice is clear and stellar in that vid.
Can not agree more with your statement he’s a class act as a Scot just up the road from where he’s from he still goes home to Paisley and just party he’s never forgotten his roots he really is a great lad so proud of him I feel the best is yet to come X
Bro your speaking voice is pure liquid gold, that’s some Bob Ross stuff right there 😂. Also I love the reaction and how you give interesting inputs throughout.
He's singing about the Iron sky which is technology taking over our minds. Everyone connected to their phones and technology taking over us as individuals. Loved your reaction and love Paolo. He has such feeling in his voice and soul.
I heard him say that if we saw the waves from technology in the air it would look like an iron sky. But this song is relevant to so many situations in life and I'm sure everyone will be able to relate to it in their own way. It can have multiple meanings.
There was also a nod to scottish independence. Paolo is a powerhouse and respected. The day this was recorded Adele was also recording . She heard Paolo then watched the set and said it was the most perfect performance she ever seen and heard.
What makes this even more legendary is he disappeared after this album and nobodies heard from him since he's just been living his life in Scotland and never really liked or cared for the spotlight
Please listen to more Paolo! This song stands out on it's own, it's unique, not really like anything else he does, except in sounding like it could be older than it is. Most of his stuff is more blues and jazzy than rock. Some stuff on the first album is almost pop (I suspect the label demanded such from such a cute kid) and some stuff sounds like old folk songs, but isn't. My favorite thing to suggest is this, recorded in a park, after the release of his first album in 2006, he was 19. th-cam.com/video/KmsYueeUbc4/w-d-xo.html and yes, his rasp is everything.
The thing i love about this live set is the fact that you can see every person in the room is giving their heart and soul into this. One of my all time favorite songs. If you like a good rasp in the voice check out "Pearls a singer" by Elkie Brooks
One of my favourite songs from Paulo is Autumn leaves. Really showcases his voice in a soft and gentle way, u love the rasp of course but in this particular song it's less prevalent. Great reaction bro, very jazz like 😀
Would it surprise you to know he's from Scotland? He's incredible. Watch him do his take on a man's a man for aw that, it's a poem by Rabbie Burn, a famous Scottish poet, it is quite amazing.... But have the words up as its in old Scots speak
Fellow proud Scot here, been following him since 2007. Think y this was from his 3rd album. You should listen to last request, pencil full of lead and Jenny don't be hasty from him too x
You should listen to Better Man - a really beautiful ballad. There is a brilliant live black and white version available on you tube. Again you could try his live version of Louis Armstrong's Wonder ful World!
The other commenters are right about it being about politicians however it was released 4 months before the Scottish independence referendum. Hes said it wasn't specifically about that but has dropped a couple of hints it is about that so if you listen to the song knowing hes talking about his countries independence it hits different and makes so much sense😊🏴
The opening two lines are the biggest hints about his support for Scottish independence: "We are proud individuals living for the city." We, Scots, are a proud people who serve The City (of London). "But the flames couldn't go much higher." But the wealth/benefits don't go much further north. Also a metaphor for the Olympic Games held in London, which cost a fortune for all of us, but the 'Olympic Flame', so to speak, didn't reach beyond that. Great reaction btw. There aren't many reactors who cover Mr. Nutini, and it's always nice to see him receive some much-deserved appreciation.
Paolo Nutini”Last Request” which is from his first LP. Beautiful song and when you watch his facial expressions it’s like you know how he feels. Another is “Scream (funk my life)” is on Caustic Love. It is about he saw this great DJ who he loved what she did with such confidence. (All True” and she recognized him and they had this couple of hot love making days then he got on a jet. It is his actual remembrance of how great she was with him
“Iron sky” refers to Ernst Juenger’s first person account as a soldier during WWI, in the book “Steel storm” in German. Chaplin refers more than once to it in “the dictator”. Though Juenger rejected Nazi’s attempts at using his notoriety, he was suspected of complacency towards them in his conservative writings. In an itw with a Swiss newspaper, Chaplin, speaking about that famous speech, mentions he kind of wanted to send a gesture of both appreciation and a hint to Juenger at the time, about how the steeled sky for wwi soldiers had become an iron sky for all people, especially Jews, during ww2.
It's originally about Scottish independence referendum n how we could of broke the norm of Westminster governmental rule with breaking the fear of the system but his record label made him distance himself from it as said it would harm his image n sales the speech is Charlie Chaplin from the great dictator
No it’s not he explained in an interview it’s about society as a whole losing it’s way. Was just the timing of the vote and the songs release this gets confused
If you listen to this song on New Zealand radio live he explains what the song meant to him...it’s about the machines taking away our jobs replacing man..
That speech was given by Charlie Chaplin. It was in the movie "The Great Dictator". The word "soldiers" was removed from that clip that you heard. "... soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes..." J Edgar Hoover believed him to be a threat to this nation as a result of that speech. As a result, Charlie Chaplin left the country to Europe and never returned.
I think the Iron Sky is like an all encompassing and more oppressive version of a Glass Ceiling 🧐 The filmmm from which the Charlie Chaplin speech was so well incorporated into the song was The Great Dictator, also week worth watching 🎬🍿
It's about Scottish independance, he is telling the people of Scotland not to listen to the fear mongerers in England who tell you Scotland cant survive as an independant country.
I thought it was just about anti establishment. Let us English have a referendum on Scotland and you will get your independence. I believe James the 1st was the instigator or the union. The wars of the old days were by norman family members. Robert was a norman as was Edward . Now most of the politicians in Westminster are Scottish and you get privaliged treatment.
This Song dropped before Scotland Scottish Independence referendum of 2014 so Paolo being a Scot with Italian roots was a supporter of Scotland Independence movement from British rule so I think it's his thoughts on the 2 year campaigning before the vote
I take .iron sky" to refer to the trap of the mind, like bars of a prison. Widen your gaze kind of thing. And he has wonderful range also. Check out his music video "Last Request" for a decent example of his non-raspy voice. Same foe "New Shoes" for some light-hearted comedy.
I have briefly known or tried to understand his interpretation, but mine is when it was Scotland breaking away from Britain/Brexit. I think Queen Elizabeth, and now King Charles are a great thing. They bring in a shit load of $$$$. Other countries do not have the little people draw!
Its said that Iron Sky is in reference to english rule over scotland. The scaremongering from the uk government and biased media emotionally blackmailing the people of scotland in order to secure a no vote in the referendum in 2014 was always a worry for the pro indy campaign. We will get our Independence 🏴
this was infact charlie, and was referring to the nazis ... i think Paolo is using this as a speech towards governments taking control but I could be wrong
the iron sky in your mind for me represents your political racial or religious prejudices and all the bullshit you're being fed demanding you to personally address them take stock of your prejudices personally challenge them and breaking through to cast them off to reach the freedom of enlightenment.
He explained in an interview how he feels society has lost its way that’s what the songs about, he’s a man with no social media and has went very off grid in recent years and was uncomfortable with the fame, but to us Scots he’s a national treasure 👏🏻
💯🏴 a true artist

Unforgettable > just Magic
Very true
There is no part of me that doesn't think this song is about the drive for Scottish Independence. And it was released right before the referendum
This song was released around the time Scotland was having a referendum on seeking independence from the United Kingdom.
I saw him live in Ireland and to this day I haven't heard anyone better than him live 💚

Incredible that the band is in the same room whilst it’s being recorded, not in separate booths. One take, not mixed afterwards.

The speech is, as you said, by Charlie Chaplin. It actually was released in 1940 and called The Great Dictator.

The scaremongering from the uk government and biased media emotionally blackmailing the people of scotland in order to secure a no vote in the referendum in 2014 was always a worry for the pro indy campaign. We will get our Independence 🏴

scottish independence. please support.. a wee scottish flag .
the iron sky in your mind for me represents your political racial or religious prejudices and all the bullshit you're being fed demanding you to personally address them take stock of your prejudices personally challenge them and breaking through to cast them off to reach the freedom of enlightenment.
Charlie Chaplin from The Dictator.
In this case the iron sky is England's rule over the Scottish people
