Davide Van De Sfroos: new extract from the next album

on November 1st, to celebrate 25 years of solo career, Davide Van De Sfroos publishes a particular compilation entitled “Van De Best” for which the Lombard singer-songwriter selected and re-recorded 49 of his hits published from 1999 to 2015.

This is how Davide Bernasconi explains the origin of this anthology album

I set out to take a journey back on the path of my musical journey. I chose 49 of my songs which I sang and played with the help of a myriad of musicians and three recording studios working simultaneously. A very meticulous work that allowed us to re-propose many songs from the past respecting their spirit and structure but giving them the authenticity of the present and the sound of this time.

The wait for the publication of “Van De Best” (available in a box of 5 vinyls or a box of three CDs) will be accompanied by the weekly release of a song contained in the work.

After “Yanez” (the single released on 16 February 2011 on the occasion of Davide Van De Sfroos’ participation in the 61st edition of the Sanremo Festival) and “New Orleans“it’s now time to”Nurse”.

This is how Davide remembers the birth of that song.

The journey towards the release of my collection continues, today it’s the turn of this song released for the first time in 2014
I was returning from a concert near Verbania, we had played the night before, I stopped to eat something in a bar in my town. The TV was on and some customers of the restaurant were watching the parade of the armed forces, since it was June 2nd.
Suddenly some nurses paraded by and someone made comments that were certainly not pleasant but above all absurd and inconsiderate. An event from my childhood that I had completely repressed immediately came to my mind, as if I had been hit by a stone: a lady friend of my grandmother, who was a nurse in wartime, who began to tell the story of the events of those days, convinced that I, who was playing on the carpet, wasn’t listening.
But instead I had captured everything, and now everything was coming back to me. I rushed to my studio and the song came to life in less than an hour, as if it had been dictated and played in my ear by a ghost from the past. I still don’t understand how all this could have happened in such a short time. But the song is here.

Next November 23rd Davide Van De Sfroos will take the stage at the Unipol Forum in Assago in a concert party to celebrate 25 years of career live.
