Amazing song. Certainly in my top 10 if not 5 of 2020. This song also became something of an anthem during the first quarentine period in Italy. Whole city blocks came together apart by performing this with and to each other from their balconies. In an incredible way supporting each other to endure to get COVID under control.
If ESC 2020 wasn't cancelled, Italy would have won. Really good song indeed. No idea what he's singing about because I don't understand Italian but a wise man once said in a 6 hour reaction video: "music is meant to touch the heart and soul" so not everything has to be in English. Take a look at ESC 2021 top 5: 2 French, 1 Italian and 1 Ukrainian (the other song in the top 5 was in English). Most Europeans don't speak any of those languages but they were touched by those songs in one way or another. :-)
This performance was filmed for the event that substituted Eurovision song contest last year, in full lockdown all around Europe (Eurovision Europe shine a light). The arena was lit blue with white dots to imitate the European flag, to give a message of unity. It was incredible, to see that huge and empty arena. Moreover, the song was also kind of an anthem for Italians stuck in the lockdown.
Mi mette i brividi e gli occhi si riempiono di lacrime quando ascolto questa poesia … vivo nella città di Bergamo in Italia che è stata colpita gravemente dal Covid. Sembrava tutto surreale … Diodato è un fantastico artista ❤️
Mi ricordo che ero in smart working e abitualmente mangiavo col Tg 3e quando vedevo tutte quelle bare mi facevo certi pianti anche se voi ci disprezzate sempre.Adesdo sono in pensione e mi è rimasto impresso che mangiavo e piangevo.Terribile.
My favourite❤! Italy always my favourite! Yes this was italy's entry for esc 2020. There is an official music video also but this performance in the emply arena is the best. I am so glad Maneskin won this year because I love them but also becausw italy so deserved a win for many now.. because of Diodato, Mahmood, il Volo.
I usually am not very proud of Italian music and entertainment in general, but this one performance is something that really lives in my heart tent-free. Because of how powerful the song is, because of him singing that he hated the silence and wanted to hear some noise, and sang it because the arena was empty because of covid, and it just hits me so bad. If you want the full effect of this, watch this performance, and then the one at the first semifinal at ESC 2021 when he HAD people who sang the song back to him, there were dancers all wrapped around him, there was finally the human contact he was singing about needing. And COVID really changed the meaning of this song. It went from being a personal song about a subjective feeling to being a song EVERYBODY related to. And also, his voice is just wonderful. It’s almost been 4 years and I still cry about this performance and the circumstances of why it was done the way it was.
avremmo dovuto e superiore a "Zitti e buoni" per quanto magistralmente eseguita dai Maneskin. Il testo ha un significato così profondo, così vero, così comune per chi ha amato almeno una volta, ma mai così espresso.

The blue is the color of Europe.
