Vasco Rossi, noto anche semplicemente come Vasco
e in passato con l'appellativo Blasco (Zocca, 7 febbraio1952), è un cantautoreitaliano.
Autodefinitosi "provocautore", è
considerato uno dei maggiori esponenti della musica rock italiana. Dall'inizio
della sua carriera nel 1977, ha pubblicato 34 album, di
cui 18 in studio, 11 dal vivoe 5 raccolteufficiali, oltre a
due EPe un'opera
audiovisiva; complessivamente ha scritto 191 canzoni, oltre ad aver scritto
numerosi testi e musiche per altri interpreti. Ha venduto quasi 40 milioni di
dischi ed è dai primi anni ottanta uno degli artisti italiani di maggiore
successo. È inoltre il primo artista italiano per numero di copie vendute nel
decennio che va dal 2010 al 2019. In special modo, con gli album Vivere o nientee Sono innocente, il
rocker ha guadagnato il primo posto nella classifica degli album più venduti in
Italia rispettivamente del 2011 e del 2014. Detiene, inoltre, il primato di
essere stato primo in classifica degli album più venduti in Italia in cinque
differenti decenni, da quando l'album Siamo quiè giunto in vetta alle classifiche nel 2021.
Negli anni ottanta, lo
stile di vita sregolato caratterizzato da alcool, droghe, donne e continui tour frenetici, avvicina
Vasco Rossi allo stereotipo della rockstar, divenuto, col tempo, vera e propria
icona.
Nella sua carriera si è esibito in più di 800
concerti, e detiene il record mondiale di spettatori paganti in un concerto
solista (225.173 al Modena Park 2017).
Gli viene riconosciuto il merito di essere stato
protagonista di una vera rivoluzione musicale: i suoi brani riportano tematiche
sociologiche ed esistenzialiste, conditi con uno stile espressivo singolare, che
ha influenzato anche il linguaggio parlato.
Il suo lavoro gli ha fruttato numerosi
riconoscimenti, tra cui il Premio Nazionale de «Il Paroliere» per la canzone Ogni voltanel 1982, la Targa Tencoper il miglior album 1998 con Canzoni per me, il Premio Luneziain qualità di
Poeta del Rock per la canzone Quanti anni hainel 1999, il Nastro d'argento alla migliore canzone originaleper Un sensoe la laurea honoris causain Scienze della

Gil
Landau and Yael Shoshana Cohen met in Tel Aviv through mutual friends. The
idea of the group was conceived at Landau's birthday party in February 2011,
when the band members began playing songs on Landau's father's old guitar.
Landau and Shoshana dated briefly while
forming the band, but went back to being bandmates.
Landau and Cohen wrote and performed songs
for 18 months before bringing on additional musicians. Mati Gilad (Bass), Rami
Osservaser (Guitar, Keyboards), Dekel Dvir (Drums and samplers) joined them
shortly after. The group started performing in local clubs. They were spotted
by the leading local indie label Anova Musicwho signed the band. The band's name was arrived at when the members
were calling out possible names for the group and the name Lola Marsh was
suggested and stuck.
The duo gained notoriety on the heels of
their 2014 performance at Primavera SoundFestival.
Lost and found
My mind, but only for a moment
All my crimes are safe, beneath my heart
And I try, oh, I try
To pretend that I am fine
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
I need you by my side
And suddenly I'm
bored, I'm dancing in the dark
Counting all the billboards, and the city lights
I keep all my affection in a paper cup
Oh I, oh I'm
Running after
bluebirds, show you what I've got
Save all my tomorrows from the lonely nights
Can you hear me crying? Baby I'm alright
Oh I, oh I
Rest your eyes
Better days are coming, I can feel it
All my lies are safe beside you now
And I try, oh, I try
To pretend that I'm fine
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
I need you by my side
And suddenly I'm
bored, I'm dancing in the dark
Counting all the billboards and the city lights
I keep all my affection in a paper cup
Oh I, oh I'm
Running after
bluebirds, show you what I've got
Save all my tomorrows from the lonely night
Can you hear me crying? Baby, I'm alright
Oh I, oh, I
You stayed only for a
moment
I said "Stay with me a while"
You faded like a pretty snowflake
That I was holding in my hand
You stayed only for a moment
I said "Stay with me a while"
You faded like a pretty snowflake
That I was holding in my hand
Lost and found
My mind, but only for a moment.

I feel nervous in a
way that can't be named
I dreamt last night of a sign that read, "The end of love"
And I remember thinking even in my dreaming
It was a good line for a song
We were a family
pulled from a flood
You tore the floorboards up
And let the river rush in
Not wash away, wash away
We were reaching in
the dark
That summer in New York
And it was so far to fall
But it didn't hurt at all
You let it wash away, wash away
And in a moment of
joy and fury I threw myself
From the balcony like my grandmother some years before me

You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Than loved loved loved for what your not
You're vulnerable,
you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled
Guess what I'm not a
robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
You've been hanging
with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I'm vulnerable, I'm
vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled
Guess what I'm not a
robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Can you teach me how
to feel real
Can you turn my power on
Well, let the drum beat drop
Guess what I'm not a
robot
Guess what I'm not a robot
Guess what I'm not a
robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot.
