1966

Inner revival... When i started loving music, that's many years ago, what i used to listen, was mainly music from the 60es and 70es. I've never forgotten such songs and singers...but they haven't been in a first place in the list of my musical preferences for quite a long time. And suddenly, i found myself listening to Mina. I just knew and liked a song by her "Un anno d'amore" (1964...as far as i know), which i tend to sing while taking a shower (a good shower-song, indeed!..however, i prefer "Nova cançó de s'amor perdut", by Joan Ramon Bonet, a song love since many years ago). Ah..but more songs by her came across my way...songs i ended up listening to over and over and really liking: "Mai così" (1966), "Se telefonando" (1966, in Studio Uno 66), "sono come tu mi vuoi" (1966). My musical trip also reached old Sanremo festivals...mmm...i found really nice songs in 1966 edition: "io ti darò di più" by Orietta Berti (...well, i've read that it was sung by other people too) (6th place), "nessuno di voi" by Richard Anthony, rather well-known, and "Adesso si" by Sergio Endrigo. But i've not heard the winner song ("Dio come ti amo") yet, by D. Modugno and G. Cinquetti....although i think i've heard a version by Mina. The sound of music in those years vanished and never came back...although several bands and singers who began their career then, kept making music and singing for decades. But the sound changed, although i believe many people miss the 60es sound of that pop music made then, of songs in those old Sanremo, canzonissima, even Benidorm and eurovision song contest. Ah!!...i'm talking about the SOUND, not the festivals themselves. Mentally, lately, i was in some other period of time...or in any period of time, since i combine inside and outside me things from different moments. One moment might not be enough for me...better to take positive things from different periods of time and harmonize them. Sumireneko out of nowhere and out of time.
