Lividi sui gomiti, by now
In nome del padre
Vent'anni and For Your Love
Coraline and zitti e buoni
It's a really tough choice!! All the tracks are different but so good 🔥
PLEASE do not stop writing in Italian, I can’t even speak the language but I adore måneskin’s Italian songs. It’s actually motivated me to learn some Italian so I can understand :D
I literally feel the same way
Same
Same here, I would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
I'm from Russia, and I completely agree. After their winning in Duolingo increased the percentage of people, who want learn Italian. The world started to love these guys with the Italian song, it's better to continue the same way: more songs in Italian + some songs in English. And also in there is less sense into their English songs
Now I'm seriously worried... I hope they will see that people love them exactly for who they are. We need a petition or something lol
I hope they will keep writing in Italian , with maybe Some occasional English songs .
Yep hope so too, maybe Damiano will write just 1 song in album in English and in other future albums, 1-2, but others in Italian. I think he focuses on it more
Same
I'd love a half and half.
Hope they do English versions tho
@@breeryan9737 the fact is that Italian words are not really translatable into English, Italy gives much more poetic freedom...
Gutted to hear that they only want to focus on English from now on. Please don't stop writing in Italian too 🥺
That would be terrible 😭
In other interviews they said they won't stop to write in italian, I hope so since I would be offended otherwise :( I think they just mean they'll have to focus more on english songs due to an international audience and improve (their italian songs are dfeinitely higher quality concerning the lyrics until now)
Yeah, mostly because Damiano's lyrics in Italian have been *far* better than the ones he wrote in English, and they also risk losing any peculiarity to make them stand out if they enter the international market armed with only mediocre English lyrics. The Italian language also has very specific sounds that can't be replicated in English and judging by the success of Zitti e Buoni the foreign audience loves it; you don't have to sing in English to get a massive international following (think Rammstein). So in my opinion either they improve their English writing dramatically (which would obviously be great) or they keep putting out mixed-language albums, because at the moment I don't see them faring too well writing only in English.
@Ambam yep, and that would make sense tbh. I guess what Damiano said in this interview could be misunderstood. I hope that's the case!
There are soo many reasons why they shouldn't stop writing in Italian:
- first of all, being a native Italian speaker, inevitably his lyrics in Italian will always be a lot more varied
- their biggest portion of fans is made of Italians, who actually helped them a lot in reaching this extremely well-deserved fame
- currently, their most beautiful songs are in Italian
- a lot of foreigners now want to learn Italian thanks to them
- they said themselves that rock in Italy "isn't really a thing" but they are changing that and they shouldn't stop because we are counting on them 🔥🔥❤
@@rticante Yeah, when they sing in Italian they are a big fish in a puddle, when they sing in English they are a small fish in the ocean...
Im so glad that Måneskin is getting the recognition they deserve
The lyrics in Italian are superb. They are deep and soulful. Not to mention that Italian is a very melodic and soft language. The English songs are entertaining but kind of lacking a soul. I'm not Italian, though I know the language to some extent and I, without a doubt, prefer the Italian songs. It would be a huge mistake if they start writing too many songs in English. In my opinion, what makes them so unique is that they perform Italian rock, not just rock.
PREACH
Well said, I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
Seriously, I do'n't understand why as an Italian I had to take for granted that rock music had to be in English and not sung in another language. I understand that 50 years ago things were different and 90% of rock music came from an English speaking country, but it's 2021 now and the world has changed. There are hundreds of rock bands around the world who sing in their native language and nobody complains so why not in Italian? I just don't get it.
@@strikedn Non tutte le lingue sono musicali! Not all languages are melodic!
I have to agree. When they said that it's only for suite Italian fan my heart was hitted so hard. Please guys don't. It's OK to mix the languages but pls pls keep singing in italian. It's beautiful, it's deep and ppl around the world are super happy with that
80% songs in Italian
20% songs in English
I would be happy with that! Bottom line, that's how they did so far in their studio albums. Don't fix what's not broken, you know what I mean? 😉🤗✌️
Agreed! ❤
Yep
💯💯
As an Italian I love how people around the world want them to keep writing in Italian and I'm with all of them. Damiano can write very deep and solid lyrics but he's less strong in English. Those songs sound a little like "fillers" in their albums. Don't get me wrong, those are good too but not as good as the ones in Italian so please, Damiano, keep writing in your (our) beautiful language as much as you can ❤️🇮🇹
I totally agree (though I don't speak much Italian)! Their English songs are something I'd like to hear in a club once in a while, but I want to listen to their Italian songs again and again. There's just something special about the Italian songs (and their wonderful lyrics) that makes them get stuck in your head.
I couldn't agree more.
I agree, I understand very little but the italian songs are superior! They not only sound amazing but the lyrics are so great and heartfelt, he sings them in such a soulful way.
Can we start a petition so that he still focuses more on writing Italian songs? lol I think it's the general consensus but I'm afraid they might think otherwise :/
I couldn't have said it better. Their Italian songs are masterpieces, their English stuff is fun but not as amazing. I understand if they want to improve with English and write more in English, but we need at least 40-50% Italian songs. I've only known this band for a week and a half, and I feel like I've been blessed with a beautiful painting that I can listen to.
@@Madeleine_des_Esseintes If they start writing ONLY in English, they'll become just one of the thousands of faceless bands singing in English around the world. Rammstein (who sing only in German) have proved that you can make great music and be popular using your own language. I don't understand why Maneskin shouldn't do the same. What's wrong with Italian? It's a supercool language and I'm proud I can speak it. How many people around the world can say the same?
Guys, as someone who doesn't speak Italian at all, PLEASE do not stop writing in Italian. Your songs sound beautiful and it's hardly an inconvenience to search up the translations. Don't be pressured into changing, you're awesome as it is!
Well said, I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
DAMIANO SIR YOURE A POET your italian lyrics hit different🤌
Well said, I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
@@dia6olo64 exactlyyyyyyyy. coming from a non english speaking country myself, i understand his wish to write in english and it sucks he couldn't do it as much as be wanted because they were known only at a local level where italian was preferred. however, italian and romance languages in general are more melodic +it's one of the things that makes them stand out on a global level. their english songs are catchy but man HIS ITALIAN LYRICS?? nahhh i'd straight up collect them all in a poetry book. but in the end it's his/their art so... whatever they choose i know it's still gonna be a banger
Italian as beautiful as it is does not pass the foreign market 😪 globally .. singers are forced to write in English if they want to have a wider audience
@@simmyminelli8479Italian had no problem passing the test of the Eurovision market with Zitti E Buoni, nor did Mahmoo's Soldi or Il Volo's Grande Amore all had very high public votes including 2 top votes from 3 & I suspect Diodato would have also scored very highly last year.
Maneskin have also since blown up around the world all over the media, all over youtube, all over the charts and they have done it with many of their Italian songs…
@@simmyminelli8479 everything proves you wrong
It's ironic how they started writing in English, but their country's strong language identity (idk if that's a thing but you know what I'm trying to say) turned them back to singing in Italian which subsequently made them famous and loved across the world. I hope they will know better than becoming another band-from-anywhere. Their English songs are fine but their Italian ones are what they will be remembered for.
Exactly! I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English.
@@dia6olo64 they seem to be smart young people, I hope even if they make such a mistake they'll understand it quickly enough and choose otherwise.
@@justwonder1404 Let's hope so.
Totally. That is why I'm worried a lot now. He said that will focus on English from now
@@maxdelpo5578 here's my prognosis: they will release several songs in English, maybe a whole album, face some backlash, hopefully understand (or get a piece of advise of someone more experienced) that Italian is part of what makes them special and come back to it. Let's just leave it here and see whether it ages well.
Omg please never stop writing in Italian🧎🏻♂️
I don’t think Damiano meant they will stop making Italian songs, just that since they have international fans now they will use that to focus more on their English music and improve those lyrics. In any case, since this video came out there’s so many comments here and on Twitter of people praising their Italian music and begging them to not stop making it that I’m sure the band must have seen it by now and they realize what the people want lol
I really hope not, but don't know how much they are looking at what people are saying :/
Italian language won Eurovision!
They will slay in any languages!
But like special one - only in Italian (for me). 🇺🇦 🇮🇹
When you read the comments, their international fans don't want them to sing in English, that's the point. Typical of us Italians, we think that everything coming from Italy is shit, even our language. We are utterly pathetic.
I hope so
@@strikedn I get that, though people shouldn't at all be ashamed of their native language. And I feel that, since most of their fans are from a non-english speaking country (including me) we secretly hate it how dominant the English language and overall American culture is, and how the world never gives a chance to other artists from other countries. That's why we want them to stay true to their Italian roots and not betray their culture. Take it from me, my current favorite band is from Russia (and I don't even speak Russian) and I'm actually angry how little attention such a band gets because god forbid they don't sell out.
Really fuck English speaking countries, the world doesn't revolve around them. And artists shouldn't have to throw their culture and native language out of the window just to get some international recognition.
Ethan’s little giggle and him smiling has to be the cutest thing 😭 I really like this interview
please don't stop writing in Italian but it would be cool to have English songs here & there:)
Exactly, I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
For the record, as a non-Italian speaker, I love their Italian songs. Hope they keep writing in both English and Italian
I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
I love both their English and Italian music. The English music is fun, but the Italian music has such a deep meaning that I love so much. I hope that they never stop singing in Italian.
Well said, I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
@@dia6olo64 same, I'm kinda bummed out.
Please i am french but i like your italian songs so much ! Please don t stop writing in italian !
If they do that, what a disappointment for the Italian fans 😪
Damiano, please write in Italian for the world. Don't forget the world voted for your song in Italian and not knowing the language. Your poetry in Italian is deep when you sing live is like a surfing wave of emotions. I get though that some will be in English. But remember who and what language your heart speaks for.
Maneskin during concerts: 😈😈😈😈
Maneskin during interviews: 🐥🐥🐥🐥
Italian does sound so beautiful
I am not Italian but beggin' you don't stop to write in Italian too.
I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
Oh come on, I only just started learning Italian and I'm not stopping now. Don't make all that work worthless. The whole reason English speaking people don't learn other languages enough is because everyone else keeps doing this. I'm finally motivated. We need more music in other languages, not less
Please don`t stop writing and singing in Italian! Your native language is your SOUL! Don`t sell it for bloody money! We will translate your lyrics to understand your songs, don`t worry, we want to see your heart and soul, please do it in Italian!
Yes. There are tons of ways to understand the lyrics
How well you wrote, this is very true!
I'm begging you to keep writing Italian songs. Italian language is way prettier than English and Italian songs are pure art. Much love from Serbia❤️
I imagine Sony is pushing them to write Teatro d'ira volume 2 as soon as possible to ride the wave of this huge success, and I hope they shall ignore this pressing, they should take the time they need with no hurry, and also rest a little bit, they said they are tired... and finally should not feel obliged to compose much more in English.
Yes yes yes yes 100%. They can ride the wave hastily but that will make them crash quickly. They should stay close to themselves, take a vacation, then write at their own pace. Not being pressured by labels is eventually the way to a stable and ongoing career in music.
Exactly. I hope they don’t get pressured too much by the label. They should give them the time and space to stay close to theirselves, rest and write amazing songs.
@@evabakker when they won xfactor they strongly refused the creative 'help' by Sony staff claiming for their independence in writing and chosing, I hope they persue this line. Look at Damiano, in one month he looks 3 years older. Let them be, they are kids...
@@federicalolli9913 ah that sounds promising! I get that the past months have been tiring for them, so I hope they keep taking a step back, review what they're doing and make sure it's 100% what *they* want. I hope they're able to stick to their own path at such a young age.
Please continue to write in Italian!! It's the most beautiful and musical language ever and it makes you stand out from all the other music we hear! I prefer the Italian songs
me being italian means a gigantic bias, but I hope they don't give up on writing and performing in italian too; maybe save 30% in italian; the main reasons being that having the language different voicing and metrics ensures that there will be a characteristic richness of different sounds,
and honestly the quality of italian lyrics (I didn't actually know them before Sanremo) really surprised me; Coraline is a great example; if they can transport that quality to English lyrics that's great, but I would ensure that that quality is not lost in any case. Lyrics like that eloquently show a side of the band that contrasts the more stereotyped views of what a rock band is like.
They better keep singing in italian!!!! the italian songs are just hitting differently !! I think everyone can all agree with that!
@@talx736 you are very kind; thank you ☺️
I’m not Italian and I’d say 70% Italian, 30% English sounds about right. Like Damiano said himself we have a gazillion of rock bands in UK all singing in English. No need to be apologetic about writing and singing in Italian!
I agree and I've only read the translated lyrics but it sounds beautiful
@@tranquilitytranquility1407 It's the English singing rock bands that should be apologetic for not being able to sing in a proper melodic language, Italian 😁
Looking at people's reaction to the possibility of English-only lyrics is so interesting. Hopefully they'll get the message.
I definitely think it would be a missed opportunity to leave out such an important part of what people fell in love with their music for, speaking for myself at least.
Most, if not all of the biggest musicians have songs in English, this has been a breath of fresh air for the industry, don't give up on it.
I really hope they'll be informed about the response this is getting 😂 I'd honestly be heartbroken if they switched to mainly english (btw I'm not Italian).
Don't we have enough English songs? It won't hurt looking for translation people ✌️❤️ let everyone have their own style
A CAPABLE INTERVIEWER
My god, finally...
The language barrier is not a problem anymore for the young italian generation. I am fascinated hearing our artists having so a easy conversation with foreign people in english. But, I have to stress out that the most part of people reacting on your music are literally fascinated by the italian language. Don't stop, please, writing italian songs.
E questo ve lo dice un vostro compatriota ;)
Agree with other comments. I love all the songs, but the Italian ones are definitely my favourites.
the interviewer here is brilliant
These guys were busking in the streets of Rome when still under age. There are no grants and no funding for this music in Italy. So hard working and down to earth. Outstanding talents.
hope they'll keep realising songs in italian
Don't stop singing in Italian!!!!
Please keep writing songs in italian too. I love the soul of them.
Please stay with the current ratio of Italian and English. Okay we will accept an INXS cover of 'Need You Tonight'. But seriously, their Italian songs are just pure art, like a beautiful authentic painting that you can listen to, I want a lot more of that!
Totally! ❤
😪 They will have to write and sing in English if they want to reach the foreign market .. I am obsessed with their songs in Italian. Damiano's voice is more beautiful
@@simmyminelli8479 I disagree, they're already doing so well with their Italian songs! I mean, they won Eurovision with one!
@@simmyminelli8479 I strongly disagree... I'm a foreigner and I don't speak Italian at all, but I love their Italian songs so much. We already have enough English speaking artists. They have already proven that they can be very succesful with Italian songwriting, so why fix if if it ain't broken? I mean I'll respect them even if they want to switch to English completely, but I probably won't buy their albums.
and miley cyrus followed them after this. their power!
Noo, please continue writing in Italian!! I love the language!! ♥
Well said, I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
Their lyrics in Italian are so poetic and genius, I really hope they never stop writing in Italian 💕
Italian is the new English.
why does Ethan always looks like he wants to say something but always being interrupted😭😭😭
😂 he don't speak very well english
Always, true. It's because he is shy and doesn't speak english very well. Both him and Thomas speak more in Italian interviews, although Vic and Damiano are clearly the key speakers for the band.
Him and Thomas have said they can't speak great English, but they talk more in Italian interviews!
Can’t Victoria or Damiano translate their words? They have the right to speak and I really care to know what they think. I think it is unfair.
I think it also depends on the personality, temper etc. Ethan and Thomas do not speak much even in Italian, but we cannot force them to change. They may be also respectful to other their extrovert colleagues. Number of used words does not mean quality of the message.
please do italian songs!!!!! im literally obsessed w the italian language thanks to u guys!!!!!!! please write songs in italian 🥺🥺🥺, i started doing a beginner online italian course and it’s all cause of u! i love ur italian music!! (a fan from england) 💗💓
Omg I love them. Stick to what your doing already!!! Love from America!!
I think they should stick to writing most of their songs in Italian.
Even though we don't know what they're saying ,we GET what they're trying say,through the music,passion,
and the sheer beauty of the Italian language.
Keep them going in Italian guy's ,bravo Italia!
Thanks
Been following them since the very beginning, im so proud of how far they've come 🥺
Italian language is all music to the ears of foreigners. It sounds awesome, fresh. Stick to Italian, greetings from Poland.
They give me major Palaye Royale vibes I love them
They said on Twitter they might wanna collab
@@Jenjaxx I saw that and I freaked out, that’d be amazing if they did!!!
The power that coheadlining tour would have
@@jae2O plz i’d die
@@brookecavanagh8987 fr, i was just leaving the fandom when that happened, now i might have to catch up what i missed
Even I can't understand Italian, please keep on writing on your language, it sounds beautiful, international fans will look for the translation later and also looking forward of Maneskin and Blind channel collab 🙏😄❤
And Miley Cyrus just followed them on Instagram!! A collab would be amazing
i personally like Italian more, but i'll support this band anyways!!!
I honestly wish that they keep making songs in italian (primarely ofc, their english songs are awesome) look at bts, look at maneskin eurovision song, both of those surely wouldnt be so successful in english
you’re so right!! an english song once in a while wouldnt hurt but its bc they mostly sing in their native language that make these two acts so extraordinary
I'm an ARMY and recently became a måneskin fan , I hope they continue writing and releasing more songs in Italian because that's what sets them apart.
@@krishertz8786 yup thats what i forgot to add! Their english songs are ofc phenomenal but it is their passion for music that help them broke the barriers in their own native language and that is what is unbelievable. Bts did it with just few english songs, so why cant maneskin also do it
This is perhaps one of my favourite Måneskin interviews ever! James asked all of the questions we wanted to know and can't wait for their future releases - hoping they'll continue with Italian tracks too!! Thanks Rock sound & James! (Please put them on the cover of your magazine in the future!)
Got mixed feelings about the writing in English thing; like obviously their Italian lyrics are deeper and it makes them more unique on the international market being a rock band that sings not in English... But also, hearing I want to be your Slave, For your love, or even their covers of English bands, I'm really loving Damiano's accent in English, and I do want to hear more of that lol
"The Italian audience prefers the italian language" sounds a bit like a polite way to say that our population is bad at english (which is kinda true 😁). I actually wonder if their record label could be pushing towards english (I wouldn't be surprised), though remember, you guys are smashing the abroad charts with a rock song in italian (a language that's just built different and that you use so well in your lyrics). So, in the end a 50/50 mix would probably be a sensible choice.
Italians just want great songs in Italian and not only great songs in English. That's the point. If the best artists are forced to focus mostly on English as soon they become successful, the hole that remains for songs in Italian is filled by less good artists. It's a vicious circle. An Italian guy has a TH-cam channel where for fun he makes Italian versions of popular songs born in English. He is so good in the rendering that it seems there is no difference with the originals. Probably Americans found out Måneskin and we run the risk to say goodbye to new songs in Italian.
That's how I understood too - that Italians are not that good at English 😅
Non sono d'accordo. A parte che oramai quasi tutti sanno l'inglese, la lingua italiana ha un suono bellissimo soprattutto cantata. 3/4 di mondo canta in inglese quindi sarebbe bello portare avanti un'altra lingua
The lyrics are much better in Italian in my opinion and I'm an American living in Italy. I think they should do both but never lose the Italian poetry skills he clearly exhibits
I'm not Italian but I much prefer their songs in italian! Sounds amazing and the lyrics are also better, obviously! I think a lot of non-italians prefer it that way too.
Ethan's hair are gorgeous, I love that
Well thank you youtube for recommending me those videos immediately when they're out 😂
As an Italian living in Canada, I'm really hoping they don't stop writing in Italian. I love being able to share music with my anglophone friends, I also love being able to connect to my culture in a different way than my nonna did
I have to say that I prefer the Italian tracks but please sing and play whatever you wanna do bc y'all are amazing🥺🥺🥺💜
I personally would be seriously disappointing if they went down the route of mostly English. I don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
I don't understand Italian but I 'feel' it in your songs. English sounds more banal, so to say. Please keep writing in Italian and stay true to your roots, they are amazing :)
Cheers from UA/DE.
Ho notato che molti all'estero si sono innamorati dell'italiano rock quindi secondo me è importante anche quel aspetto nella vostra band.
guys guys they didn’t mean they aren’t gonna sing in italian anymore, they meant they are just gonna focus a bit more in english
I would personally prefer that they'd still write more in Italian. The current ratio of Italian to English is perfectly fine, I'm afraid it'll switch 😢
i hope they never fully stop writing in italian i never really like their english songs but they shine a lot more in italian :( i know the audience is getting bigger and more international BUT
They are also in the first three chart positions in most of Europe countries
GOD I LOVE ETHAN
SAME ☺️☺️
Wow! Their English is incredible. And the interviewer did not make and special allowances for it being their second language. They deserve every success they get and more and I can’t wait to see them live. They are so good live - amazing! 🤩🤩
They should keep writing in both languages, they sound good in Italian and English
Better in Italian in my opinion, Don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
Pls, write your songs in Italian! 💔 Love from Ukraine🇺🇦
I love how this whole comment section is full of people hoping they'll focus more on writing songs in Italian!
I don't speak Italian but I'd be really bummed out if the majority of their music was in English. The Italian songs are just a whole other level of awesome!
Please, Damiano. We love your Italian poetry 💔 I'm sure you enjoy writing in Italian too, the lyrics are magnificent.
Not only does it set you apart from the other bands that only sing in English, it also elevates the power and emotional connection to the songs, we can feel your soul even if we can't understand it (although I'm sure many of us look up the translations, and it's really cool, I'm already learning some Italian because of it!)
I'm so proud of these guys. 🥲🥰 They've come so far! They're incredible people, who are creating masterpieces! ❤❤ They should never stop writing Italian music! It would seriously break my heart! 🥺
I only met w them 10 days ago but i would kill for them ✌🏻✨ love from Turkey 💖
They r so lovely 😭❤️
My mind is reeling from the fact that this album was recorded live but it also makes total sense with the energy created. Have to say, I don't have any issue with them writing songs in both English and Italian. Fell in love with them because of their general charisma and musicianship and also with Damiano's vocal performance. The Italian lyrics are far more intricate but I don't think this necessarily dictates how the overall song turns out. Damiano is clearly a very talented writer. I also enjoy the different vibe of the English songs too, they feel more punk inspired because the lyrics are simplistic and that just works for certain songs. I don't think he was saying that they won't write songs in Italian anymore, just that this is an opportunity to work on their English language songs and I feel that as time goes on the lyrics to these are likely to grow in complexity too. To be able to do both and find success with songs in both languages is pretty outstanding. I'm in my early 30s and I haven't been this excited about a band in a really long time and when you take their ages in to account, what they're doing is remarkable.
I agree, I hope they keep writing in both languages, but I would much prefer a focus on Italian, the ratio right now is good, it's working for them! I say this as a non-italian speaker, Italian sounds so great, I personaly prefer them... They should to use their language as an advantage, it's what they're known for anyways, it sets them apart from the others.
The mainstream bands and artists usually only write in english because that's all they can do lol
Zitti e Buoni is #9 in Germany atm CONGRATS
Yesss
I live this band so much
They are incredible. I hope they won’t focus on songs in English only. Their Italian songs are authentic and even though i don’t understand one word, it’s mesmerizing. I also think that their Italian songs are what makes them stand out and apparently a lot of people outside Italy find it appealing. So it’s a great chance for their native language to get more recognition but also to make Italian rock a ‘thing’ in Italy. They will be remembered for that. And i personally don’t think they have to worry to seek connection with their foreign fans by making only English songs. ❤️ A nice mix would be great, people already like them for who they are right now.
please never stop writing in Italian 🧎🏻♂️
I’m so happy they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve!!! These guys are amazing! ☺️
nice interview great.......love them soooooo much. I hope they continue writing in Italian. I love English language, but Italian happens to be a beautiful language and it's so different and refreshing. I think their charme is also about singing and performing in their native language, this makes them stand out. I think people love listening to authenticity.
Ethan's voice 😭😍
Was thinking a few months ago it's a shame there is a lack of rock music made in the UK nowadays. Even the bands from the late 90's to early 2000's have changed their style to be more modern/trendy. So I am glad that they are bringing it back.
Maneskin I hope you get to read this and the many comments on here that concur with me.
Please do not switch to singing too much in English, I don't mind an English song or two but I as with most on here it seems, would prefer if most were in Italian.
I have listened to all your songs and there’s not a bad one amongst them, You are an excellent band.
However, in my opinion and again it seems most here concur, while your English songs are very good and catchy, your Italian ones are the ones that truly hit hard, they reach the soul and then some when we translate the lyrics.
That aside, I personally want to truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible music you have given us so far and long may it continue. Thank you guys, you are incredible!
I don’t care what language they sing in, I am addicted 😳🥰
I don’t speak Italian so I do appreciate that they have some songs in English, but like they said, rock isn’t a common genre in Italy, so the fact that they are writing amazing Italian rock songs is really special so I hope they don’t completely count that out :)
side note: why is every member of this band so beautiful😩
YESSSSS MANESKIN!
Why sing in English? The Italian language works out perfectly for you! People were ecstatic about the beautifull Sound of Italian. Many wrote, they wanna learn this Language because of you guys! There are too many rock bands who already sing English. The world needs an Italian rock band! Please don‘t cut your strong roots! And please legt Ethan and Thomas speak in interviews top😉 Love you guys!
Thomas and Ethan aren't good English speakers. They speak way more Italian interviews, especially Thomas.
You're right! Italian language was created for singing!
If you like the Italian because it can't reach the foreign market 😭 Damiano I like when he sings in Italian his voice is more beautiful
@@simmyminelli8479 No, the Italian does reach the foreign market. Whole Europe who doesn‘t speak Italien loves them and went crazy. And it is too early for the American market anyway, I hope, they build up their career in Europe where people love the variety of languages and are used to it. Italien rocks !👍
Even though that Arctic Monkeys collab is probably very unrealistic it still made me happy to hear that because I love both their music a lot
Ahhh gutted to hear that they want to focus on writing in English. I don't spreak Italian, but when I look up translations of their Italian songs, the lyrics are just SO good. They are so poetic and have so much meaning, also more on a societal level (e.g. VENT'ANNI and Coraline). I also love their idea of Marlena, and how she (and everything she represents) comes back in their songs. Their songs in English are also good, but are lyrically nowhere near the quality of their Italian songs. Europe fell in love with the genuinity and uniqueness that they brought to the table with Zitti e Buoni, so it shows that songs do not have to be in English to top the charts. Please do not stop writing in Italian!
Please keep writing in Italian! I LOVE that! 🇮🇹😍
Clearly they are generation z. The artists they would like to collaborate with made me chuckle a bit. I hope they will keep Italian lyrics though. I think we all agree we love them even without understanding ❤
the look on damiano's face when he said his dream collab is miley cyrus
U dont believe, For the first time Im looking forward an album in rock genre😅btw in Italian
Lol. And some ppl keep complaining that this band isn't rock at all. They are, in a new and fresh way
The happiness on their face🥰
As an English speaker I’m happy to hear more English songs but hope they’ll keep Italian ones too! But they deserve so much success and I think English songs will help them go global x
Better in Italian in my opinion, Don't mind an English song or two but would prefer if most were in Italian, they just sound better to my ear and they are also at another level from a lyrics point of view.
Singing in English now means becoming one of the countless and faceless foreign bands trying to sound all the same and aping UK and American artists. Who wants an Italian copy of Ed Sheeran singing in English if the original is still around and doing great? There are already rock bands out there who sing in their original language, sound megacool and are popular. The world has changed and English speakers should realize that English is not the only language in the world. Said by an Italian whose mother is English .
Hello from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
We love this group
Love love love this interview and love love love Måneskin - I’m not Italian but I adore their Italian music, even without translating the lyrics it just sounds beautiful and has a different depth to it and of course their English songs are amazing too, Måneskin are unique and that’s reflected in the success they’re having - I can’t wait to see their next accomplishments and hear their new music 🤘🏻🎸
I am with everyone hoping they keep writing in Italian. I think they are a band that could smash the need for English language songs if you want a global audience. You can follow the narrative of their lyrics so well even without understanding them straight away because of the performance style and it's not hard to find a translation. I love their Italian stuff especially.
I really need a UK tour 😩🙏
