Olly: “Vasco’s congratulations shocked me”
The Day After. The day after the verdict that brought Olly to win the Festival, with Lucio Corsi behind, in second position, and Dario Bruori, on the third stepthe three artists showed up in the press room to tell their emotions and sensations in front of this result. “I saw the stories of Vasco Rossi who congratulated me with the ‘K’, I was shocked – says Olly – Vasco sent me the desire and strength to share songs with my people. This result, totally unexpected for me, is the result of a path. For six, seven years I write my songs. I took some time, I stopped after stopping. And this way of working unites me with Lucio and Dario. Let’s tell our emotions truth, we are three songwriters ”. During the night thousands of boys, on the streets of Sanremo, sang Olly’s songs as in a great karaoke: “It is my people, the victory is they too,” says the Genoese boyfriend.
The Eurovision? “In this case too, I want to reflect, take me for a moment to metabolize and understand. I am honored with this opportunity, but I want to try with lucidity to think about it, “he continues. The three artists are linked by a red thread. Different, not of the same generation, but united by love for the truth in music. Is this podium of songwriters is an attack on US music without producers and authors only? “We write our songs, it is true, but there is no right or wrong way of doing things, I believe it is undoubtedly that all these ways must be representedwe represent our way. We came here with our original dress, we did not get dressed to please the place that hosted us, “says Brunori. Lucio Corsi echo: “I believe that music is a wind, sometimes brings up and traces some worlds that perhaps had remained below, more hidden. It is also a matter of historical times“.
And now what will happen? “My only war is against myself – continues Olly – I am physically big, but I hide great shyness and distrust. I’m a little Genoese in this (laughs, ed). I will do my concerts, I will still write songs. Lucio in these days has said a beautiful thing: the songs can and have to bring from other parts. We, when we don’t like the world in which we live, can write songs that tell others. We have the power of the word ”. Corsi was dragged to the second step of the podium also thanks to his performance with Topo Gigio in the evening of the covers: “It was not a gag, but a tribute to music and television, I am happy that all this has arrived”, smiles courses, which also won the Mia Martini prize, awarded by critics. In addition, Simone Cristicchi won the “Lucio Dalla” press room prize and in the press room he wanted to read a letter from a girl who sees her grandparents consumed by Alzheimer’s. “These letters are the biggest prize,” concludes the songwriter.
