We are two weeks from the end of the Sanremo Festival, Italy is almost all red and at number one in the ranking of the best-selling singles there are them, unattainable, Colapesce e Dimartino. And it’s not just a question of rankings. Just take a look at the memes or whatsapp chats two weeks after the end of the Sanremocino Festival in smart working, the Joker sings it. It has become pop, viral or whatever you want.

Colapesce e Dimartino they did not win the Festival, but in reality they did.
Why do we like their “very light music” (which in reality is not)? Why does it stay in our minds? Because it’s what we all needed, even without knowing it. The master has gone away, is the premise, the point where we are. Tired. Indeed more than tired, stunned. And if the orchestra has stopped playing, C & D tell us, we just have to take refuge in the light music, very light indeed. After all, spring has just arrived. We can take off the heaviest jacket. And if (yet) we can’t go anywhere, very light music, cheerful but not too much it’s a good way to think about the next trip.

Colapesce and Dimartino have become the symbol of a shared mood, and it does not matter if the original meaning of the piece was another (depression, black holes). “It is right that everyone appropriates it in his own way,” they say. And here it is very light music becomes an antidepressant: mild, but mass. It remains in the background. Everyone sings it: Inside supermarkets / soldiers sing it / alcoholic children / progressive priests. Nor is the video a postcard: there is an opening cemetery, a junkyard, closed theaters, a Tac machine, a couple of goats. But there is also a golf course, a supermarket and a (shitty) party. It is not a catchphrase and that’s it.
Very light music, from March 19, it is also one of the songs from Mortals², the new edition of the disc published by Colapesce and Dimartino in June 2020, the first work together of the two songwriters (who are also friends) after years as soloists. It’s the right song at the right time.
