Marlena is not a woman, or a lost love. Marlena is the music or, rather, the inspiration. Re-read the translation, keeping this in mind and think that Damiano was 18 when he wrote the words. Thanks for everything, Mike. It's wonderful to follow you.
Loved seeing your reactions to this song by Maneskin. It is just perfection in every way and absolutely amazing when one realizes how young they were when they produced it. Each member of the group is so incredibly talented in their own way and when they come together they create a unique kind of magic and create emotions that touch one so deeply. Thank you Mike for your analysis and thank you Maneskin for your beautiful music. And yes the Italian language is beautiful to hear, I hope that Maneskin will continue to write in Italian because there are so many bands and singers sining in English but not many internationally recognized bands today singing in Italian.
Marlena is not a woman, is their muse... Without her they feel lost and they ask her to come back home... Excuse me for my poor English. I really appreciate your reaction, you seem very excited to discover our favorite band... Welcome in the Maneskin rabbit hole! Ciao! 🇮🇹 🤗
Damiano is on another level. His emotions, the power and the clearness of his voice. Such a memorable performer. This is still my fav song and performance of them
Torna a casa (2018, from their first full length album) was their absolute hit single in Italy, its music video is still one of their most watched videos and it's among their 10 most streamed songs of all time.
Une chanson incomparable !!!! Qui s adresse à tout le monde !!! Universelle !!! D une sensibilité indescriptible !!!! Bravo Damiano !!! C'est du pur talent ❤❤❤❤❤ ont vous adores !!!! Chanson magnifique ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You feel exactly how I felt two years ago and I am still obsessd now - love your reaction. I love their live version of GASOLINE from Global citizen New York 2022
When Damiano (the singer) lost his inspiration when he couldn't found the words to write his lyrics he gave to that the name Marlena and begged it to come back because he could not live without ❤️ And maybe he was only 16 or 18 that's crazy!!!! And this is maybe the only band that sounds better in live version than studio version. My English is not perfect but I hope you'll understand There is not 1 song of them that isn't perfect ❤ Finally I'm so proud they are Italian in a world where the greatests are only American or English. There is another great Italian rock singer: Vasco which I want to recommend you listen to. Thanks for your reaction
Marlena is their inspiration, is the music that saved them, that guides them to go further. If you think of the song this way, you realize how He invokes her while he has still Half cigarette and a piece of paper to come back and inspire him to write more music, because without inspiration they are doomed to disappear
Thank you for this beautiful reaction.Seeing you feel the music is wonderful because that is how us fans feel with them - the songs go straight into the core. They are felt.
When you see and hear this song and Coraline, you can understand the true artistry of what they can do as teenagers! The poetry of the lyrics, the music, and the vocals are special. For me it feels like when I discovered QUEEN in my late teens.
Man, thank you for your reaction. As a proud Måneskin listener and not-so-low-key fan, I very well know that nothing beats the moment you first listen to this song. Nothing can really prepare you to it, especially on this awesome, 100% live, incredibile acoustic version. And think they were just teens, too! Worth to also check the official video, trust me. Keep going and congrats for 10k subs, well deserved ❤
I finished watching the last reaction and this had just been posted, so I guess I'm here again. lol Watching stuff while I work is what keeps working all day bearable, so I hope you'll bear with me, too. The lyrics are definitely hoping "Marlena", as if she was a long lost lover, to come back home. "Marlena" is a concept from their first album, but despite having a woman's name, she's not a real person: she's their muse. They have said "Marlena", their muse as artists, represents freedom, beauty and creation. So this is a love song, in a way, but not necessarily to a lover, but to music, because without it, they'd be nothing.
That's one of the songs that I have uploaded and am just awaiting copyright clearance. It will post as soon as that happens. It's usually instant with Måneskin but the last three have taken many, many days to clear.
Thank you for this one Mike though I still think you should also do a reaction video to the official video of the same song because that version just hits differently, and also the music video is very artistic and storytelling ✌️
It's the most beautiful compliment you can do for Thomas when you say it's like earing for the first time Led Zeppelin because it's his favourite band! (excuse my english!!!)
OK, now that you know who Marlena is, 😉 listen for her name in other songs from this era. The album is called "Il Ballo Della Vita" (The Dance of Life). It was their first full album and it was released in 2018. If you like artsy music videos, this song has an interesting one.
I've seen almost a hundred reaction videos on this Maneskin song and I was surprised how you english speakers can appreciate it especially by translating the lyrics. What you will never understand is the beauty of the rhymes that is completely lost in translation.
Mike, speechless this time. I knew that the other acoustic song among Back to back cover, was this. Please watch the official video of Torna a casa, it’s a masterpiece, you can’t miss it. See you next❤️🤗🔥🤟
I'm very sorry for your beautiful language but when Damiano sings in Italian it's magical. With your language, you have stolen all their artistic value.
Hi Mike, I just watched all your reactions back to back and it's been a pleasure, you are becoming a fan hahaha ❤ Since you asked for suggestions i'm gonna give two, two opposite songs from their last album. One is a punk banger, Kool Kids, that is super ironic but explain well their take about music (when you said they aren't a specific genre but they just rock, they kinda say the same in the song). There's a great live video on SiriusXM channel). The other one is an Italian ballad, Il dono della vita, and imho is their most refined song so far, pretty sure that as a musician you will love it! There's no a live version of that song tho. Thank you so much for your videos, i have enjoyed them tremendously!!
"cazzo2 lo hai detto, anche io che ho piu anni di te prima di nominare i Led Zeppelin mi sono morso la lingua, poi l'ho detto ,ma tutti noi come i Maneskin abbiamo avuto dei maestri nella vita e agli inizi ti porti dietro un po delle influenze acquisite, musicali e culturali , poi stacchi il cordone ombelicale e viaggi nel Mondo ,ognuno portando il proprio messaggio, oltre la musica che è un linguaggio universale, anche i propri ideali ed il rispetto sulle libertà individuali, loro vestendosi senza inibizioni, disinibiti e senza tabù capaci di indossare i tacchi a spillo o vestendosi di rosa, una Steet band che sa, che sognare cantando sui marciapiedi ,nelle piazze ,mentre la gente ti passa accanto ignorandoti presa dalla fretta della vita, e tu che lotti per non abbatterti cercando di suscitare le loro attenzioni ,chiudendo gli occhi e sognando un palcoscenico davanti a te trovando la forza di continuare a cantare ,per non affogare nelle umiliazioni ,come testimoniano i testi delle loro prime canzoni molto poetiche autobiografiche e piene di rabbia ,la strada ,una scuola di vita che ha forgiato le loro menti ha rispettare gli ultimi e come hanno sempre sostenuto ,di avere avuto come primi ascoltatori clochard e tossici ,gente che fa della strada la propria casa ma che per loro hanno trovato il tempo di ascoltarli ed applaudirli ,
Hi Mike, I see that you like live shows, I suggest For your love live at 1 WDR and New Song radio Italia, are both Damiano terrific vocal performance but you should know that they make great video clip, Vent'anni, The Loneliest(winner VMA) Torna a casa and Gossip ft. Tom Morello (more 300mln views 4 add) I'm almost 60 but I enjoy listening and watching Maneskin. Btw I like your reactions. Ciao
Damiano couldnt find any inspiration at that time for writing songs, they wanted to make their second album i think and he had like a "blackout" if this makes sense. Marlena he calls his kreativity his inspiration....so he began to wrote about Marlena to come back home to him....and they finally got another song for their album and Marlena did come home after they finished that song. love it
Si , fanno emozionare… pure me , sono italiana… Purtroppo qui in Italia non sono molto apprezzati ahimè… c’è tanta invidia e gelosia … tutti a criticare 😡….. sono felice della tua opinione 😘
I don't know why many are not translating. I have all of them set to do so, but for some reason only a few actually are. Some aren't even doing English. The settings are all the same on every one.
Finalmente i nostri Maneskin stanno cantando in italiano perché scusa se te lo dico ma ultimamente si sono troppo americanizzati e questo non lo sopporto più perché loro sono italiani e devono cantare in questa lingua perché esprime meglio il senso di quello che dice.

alla faccia del poor... dajeeeeeee!!! Li amo anche io, ma tanto tanto
He wrote this song when he was only 16 years old as a man who had already lived. A great lyricist
Damiano is on another level. His emotions, the power and the clearness of his voice. Such a memorable performer. This is still my fav song and performance of them
This is Maneskin and their magic! Five years ago.! ✌

For me it feels like when I discovered QUEEN in my late teens.
Same feeling! It’s the only band after queen that I LOVE ❤
What a beautiful reaction❤ goosebumps all the way thank youuuu i wish they could sing this on us tv one day...
The official video too is beautiful

"Morirò da re" music video.....another Måneskin music genre 👍👍
That's one of the songs that I have uploaded and am just awaiting copyright clearance. It will post as soon as that happens. It's usually instant with Måneskin but the last three have taken many, many days to clear.
You are truly a beautiful and sensitive person. Congratulations for your reactions

What a wonderful reaction. Subscribed ❤
Mike you are genuinly wonderful
Another great song with/about Marlena, their muse is Le parole lontane!

La lingua italiana è pura poesia❤
Not always 😊. But these lyrics are fantastic!!!!

Yes, his voice is more than sexy! Is captivating. I started learning Italian because of him. I loved his long hair look btw.
Thank you for your reaction! ❤️ I feel the same 💔
Marlena the girl he's singing about Is actually the artistic inspiration. She Is oresent in every Song of that album. Listen tò morirò da re. ❤
you must to see the original video.. is amazing

The lyric translation doesn't matter enjoy the musicianship they are incredible
Hi Mike, I'M subscribe some days ago. I FEEL A CONNECTION WHITH YOU BECAUSE YOUR FACE IS SIMILAR AT MINE WHEN I DISCOVERED MANESKIN IN 2017.
Thanks for subscribing! There will be plenty more Måneskin content coming!
You feel it the same way how I feel it :)
Chills always
Grazie infinite
Thank you Mike! Please react to Måneskin - Torna a casa music video also to hear song in non acoustic version. That song is truly beautiful.
i love you that you love them !
Being this deeply invested in intricate details with music as you are, please check out the British artist Ren.
Ooooo devi vedere il videooooo😊
Damiano couldnt find any inspiration at that time for writing songs, they wanted to make their second album i think and he had like a "blackout" if this makes sense. Marlena he calls his kreativity his inspiration....so he began to wrote about Marlena to come back home to him....and they finally got another song for their album and Marlena did come home after they finished that song. love it
Si , fanno emozionare… pure me , sono italiana…
Purtroppo qui in Italia non sono molto apprezzati ahimè… c’è tanta invidia e gelosia … tutti a criticare 😡….. sono felice della tua opinione 😘
You should react to the acoustic version of Zitti e buoni they recorded for Eurovision. You find it in youtube
I love it in Italian, but it would be great if they do it in English for all the world to listen to this fantastic song.
it is impossible to translate that poetry in english will sound totally different and lost the meaning ;)
It would loose the poetry!
😘😘😘
Thanks
Devi cercare il Video …ti prende l’anima 🥲
The italian songs are the english traslation under the video, is better for understand the beautiful words
You miss quite a few songs...recovery...vent anni...fun cover kiss this..time zone and ecc ecc i love your reaction saluti
Wonderful 🤍❤️💚🤟
Could you put automatic translations on your reactions? Thanks if you do and thanks anyway if you don't.
I don't know why many are not translating. I have all of them set to do so, but for some reason only a few actually are. Some aren't even doing English. The settings are all the same on every one.
