Mi ami davvero non come gli spot che
dicono solo bugie
sei bella davvero non come le modelle che ritoccan le fotografie
sei pulita davvero non come la benzina verde che invece e' veleno
sei sexy davvero non che non c'e' niente quando poi togli il reggiseno
ci credi davvero non come i manifesti delle campagne elettorali
sei sincera davvero non come le giacche e cravatte delle multinazionali
mi ami davvero non come i prezzi della medicina bio-alternativa
sei buona davvero non come la frutta con la buccia lucidata e radioattiva
ho bisogno d'amore e di un po' di verita'
e di un giorno migliore e non del grigio che c'e' qua
scrivo una lettera per te cosi' per sempre la leggerai
scrivo una lettera per te cosi' ogni tanto riderai
perche' l'amore fa ridere lo sai
ma tu vali davvero non come i soldi di questa economia virtuale
mi colpisci davvero non come i titoli sensazionali che trovi sul giornale
sei forte davvero non come i record degli atleti bombati e iper dopati
ti dai davvero non come le offerte speciali dentro ai supermercati
sei pura davvero non come l'aria quest'aria che ogni giorno respiriamo
sei importante davvero non come i personaggi che alla fine poi votiamo
ho bisogno d'amore e di un po' di verita'
di un giorno migliore e non del grigio che c'e' qua
scrivi una lettera per me cosi' per sempre la leggero'
scrivi una lettera per me cosi' ogni tanto piangero'
perche' l'amore fa piangere lo so.

Biagio Antonacci (Milano, 9 novembre1963) è un cantautore e chitarristaitaliano.
Per il quarto
album bisogna attendere l'anno successivo, il 1994, quando esce Biagio
Antonacci, con cui si conferma artista di successo. I singoli estratti sono Non è
mai stato subito seguito a ruota dalla ballad Se io, se lei. Il
disco è ricco di potenziali singoli, e addirittura nell'estate del 1995 viene
estratto un altro brano, Lavorerò, dall'arrangiamento vagamente reggae. Nella versione "album edit",
compare anche la sua compagna Marianna alle prese con una strofa rappata. L'album vende oltre 300.000 copie.
Nel lavoro successivo, Il mucchio, pubblicato nel 1996, Antonacci compare
oltre che come autore e interprete anche come produttore. Tra le 13 canzoni, Happy
family scritta insieme a Luca Carbonie Se è vero che ci sei
dove si è avvalso della collaborazione di Mel Gaynor, batterista dei Simple Minds. Del brano in questione verranno
realizzate anche versioni in francese ed inglese, in duetto con la cantante e
modella Viktor Lazlo.
Il sesto album, Mi fai stare bene, è prodotto completamente da Antonacci e
le canzoni Quanto tempo e ancora e Iris (tra
le tue poesie)ottengono un enorme successo. L'album vende oltre 800.000 copie e
rimane in classifica per due anni. Il tour che segue riceve lo stesso
entusiastico riscontro tanto che al Festivalbar 1999Antonacci vince il Premio
Tour.
Tra la tournée e gli impegni con la
Nazionale italiana cantanti, nel 2000 produce Come una goccia d'acqua,
disco della cantante Syrianel quale sono presenti tre sue canzoni, tra cui quella
portata dalla cantante pontina al Festival di Sanremo di quell'anno Fantasticamenteamore.
Nello stesso anno esce Tra le mie
canzoniuna
raccolta dei suoi maggiori successi e il DVDLive in Palermoregistrato durante il concertodel 10 luglio 1999.
Antonacci conferma le sue doti di autore scrivendo, per Laura Pausini, il brano Tra te e il mare che
riscuote consensi di critica e di pubblico in Italiae all'estero.
Nel 2001 viene pubblicato Volevo
solo dirti che e l'album 9/NOV/2001, album che parla di sogni, di stati
d'animo, di amore, di sentimenti e di tutto ciò che oggi è abbandonato,
emarginato, dimenticato. L'album vende oltre 400.000 copie e ottiene il Premio Luneziaper il suo valore
Musical-Letterario.
Nel 2003 per il mercato spagnolo e sudamericano
viene pubblicato Cuanto tiempo...y ahora che contiene 13 brani. A giugno
è ospite del concerto di Firenzedi Claudio Baglioni.
Il mucchio è il quinto album di Biagio Antonacci, uscito il 16 settembre 1996su etichetta Mercury. Si
tratta di un disco molto importante per Antonacci, dal momento che per la prima
volta il cantautore è presente anche nelle vesti di arrangiatore e produttore,
al fianco di Fabio Coppini e Stefano De Maio.
Il singolo di lancio è la canzone che
apre l'album, Se è vero che ci sei. Con Antonacci al pianoforte e Mel Gaynordei Simple Mindsalla batteria, il pezzo
diventa una delle hit assolute di Biagio e ne verranno incise versioni in
francese e inglese, in cui il cantautore duetta con la cantante e modella Viktor Lazlo. Ma le collaborazioni di prestigio non
finiscono qui, dal momento che Happy Family è scritta a quattro mani con
l'amico Luca Carboni. Il disco contiene inoltre altri brani
"storici" dell'artista milanese come Così presto No, In una stanza
quasi rosa(reinterpretata nel 2006da Laura Pausininel suo disco di cover Io canto) e Non parli mai. Biagio torna al pianoforte in Dove il cielo è
più sereno, la canzone che chiude l'album dedicata ad un amico scomparso.
Certe volte guardo il mare,questo eterno movimento,
ma due occhi sono pochi per questo immenso e capisco di
esser
solo
e passeggio dentro il mondo
ma mi accorgo che due gambe non bastano per girarlo e
rigirarlo
e se e' vero che ci sei batti un colpo amore mio
ho bisogno di dividere tutto questo insieme a te
certe volte guardo il cielo i suoi misteri e le sue
stelle
ma sono troppe le mie notti passate senza di te
per cercare di ricordare
ma se e' vero che ci sei vado in cerca dei tuoi occhi io
non ho mai cercato niente e forse niente ho avuto mai
e' un messaggio per te
sto chiamandoti
e' un messaggio per te
sto inventandoti
prima che cambi luna e che sia primavera
ma se e' vero che ci sei
batti un colpo amore mio
ho bisogno di dividere tutto questo insieme a te
e' un messaggio per te
sto chiamandoti
sto cercandoti
sono solo e lo sai
e' un messaggio per te sto inventandoti
prima che cambi luna e che sia primavera
ma se e' vero che ci sei con i tuoi i occhi e le tue gambe
io
riuscirei a girare il mondo e guardare quell'immenso
ma se e' vero che ci sei a cacciar via la solitudine
di questo uomo che ha capito il suo limite nel mondo
e' un messaggio per te sto chiamandoti sto cercandoti
sono solo e lo sai
e' un messaggio per te sto inventandoti
prima che cambi luna e che sia primavera.

"Shout" is a
song by English pop/rock band Tears for Fears, released as the second single
from their critically acclaimed second studio album, Songs from the Big Chair(1985),
on 19 November 1984. Roland Orzabal performs lead vocals on the track, with
bassist Curt Smith duetting on the choruses. The single was a global and
critical success, becoming the group's sixth UK top 40 hit, peaking at No. 4 in
January 1985. In the US, it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 3 August
1985 and remained there for three weeks. "Shout" would ultimately become one of the most
successful songs of 1985, eventually reaching number 1 in multiple countries. "Shout"
is regarded as one of the most recognizable songs from the mid-eighties and is
also recognized as the group's signature song, along with "Everybody Wants
to Rule the World".
Tears for Fears are an
English pop rock band formed in Bath, England, in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt
Smith. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate,
Tears for Fears were initially associated with the new wave synthesizer bands
of the early 1980s. Later,
the band branched out into mainstream rock and pop and attained international
chart success. Tears for Fears were part of the MTV-driven Second
British Invasion of the US.
The band's debut album, The
Hurting(1983), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart. Their second album, Songs
from the Big Chair(1985), reached number one on the US Billboard 200, achieving
multi-platinum status in both the UK and the US. Songs from the Big Chair contained
two Billboard Hot 100 number one hits: "Shout" and "Everybody
Wants to Rule the World"'. The latter song won the Brit Award for Best
British Single in 1986.
After the release of their
platinum-selling third album, The Seeds of Love(1989), Smith and Orzabal had an
acrimonious split in 1991. Orzabal retained the Tears for Fears name as a solo
project, releasing the albums Elemental(1993) and Raoul and the Kings of Spain(1995).
Orzabal and Smith reconciled in 2000 and released an album of new material, Everybody
Loves a Happy Ending, in 2004.
In April 2010, Tears for
Fears joined the reformed 1980s group Spandau Ballet on their seven-date tour
of Australia and New Zealand, before a four-date headlining tour of their own
in Southeast Asia (Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan) and a 17-date
tour of the United States.
In 2011 and 2012, they
played dates in the US, Japan, South Korea, Manila and South America.
In May 2013, Smith confirmed that he was writing and
recording new Tears for Fears material with Orzabal and Charlton Pettus.
Several songs were worked on in the UK at Orzabal's home studio, Neptune's
Kitchen, in April 2013, and continued in Los Angeles in July 2013. According to
Orzabal, they have been producing more dark, dramatic pieces of music.
"There's one track that's a combination of Portishead and Queen. It's
just crazy," Orzabal stated. In August 2013, Tears For Fears released
their first newly recorded material in nearly a decade, with a cover of Arcade
Fire's "Ready to Start" made available on SoundCloud. In 2014, the
track was included on a limited edition 3-track 10" vinyl EP from the band
called Ready Boy & Girls?, released exclusively for Record Store Day, which
also featured covers of Hot Chip's "Boy From School" and Animal
Collective's "My Girls". All three songs were recorded as "kick-start"
projects as the band commenced work on their seventh studio album. In
an interview on BBC Radio Devon in October 2014, Orzabal stated that the band
had now signed to Warner Music Group and that around five or six songs had so
far been completed for the new album.
To commemorate the 30th
anniversary of the band's debut album The Hurting, Universal Music
reissued it in October 2013 in two Deluxe Editions (one a 2-disc set and the
other a 4-disc set with a DVD of the 1983 In My Mind's Eyeconcert). Deluxe Editions of the band's
second album, Songs From The Big Chair, were released on 10 November 2014
including a 6-disc set that features various rarities and two DVDs (one audio,
one video). On 12 November 2014, Tears for Fears performed
"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! TV
programme. In mid 2015, the band began a series of live dates in the US and
Canada.
In July 2016, the band
played their first live dates in the UK in over ten years: the Newmarket Nights
festival at Newmarket Racecourse on 29 July; and a closing night headlining
appearance at Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle in Dorset on 31 July. The gigs
marked the band's first UK festival appearances since Knebworth in 1990. The
band again toured the US and Canada in September and October 2016.
In 2017, the band toured
North America with co-headliners Hall & Oates, and also played in Israel,
at the British Summer Time Festival in London's Hyde Park on 8 July, and at the
Rock in Rio festival in Brazil on 22 September. In a July 2017 interview,
Orzabal stated that the band had collaborated with songwriter/producer Sacha
Skarbek on their new album tentatively titled The Tipping Point, and
divulged several song titles from it including "My Demons", "I
Love You But I'm Lost", "End of Night" and "Up Above the
World". In an interview with SiriusXM Canada the same month, Orzabal
divulged that although the band had signed with Warner Music to release their
new album (which had been scheduled for October 2017), Universal Music had then
approached Warner Music about buying the rights to the album so that they could
release it (Universal being the rights holders of the vast majority of the
band's back catalogue).
On 26 October 2017, the
band performed a 65-minute live set at the BBC Radio Theatre in London for the Radio
2 in Concert series, which was broadcast on both radio and television (via the BBC
Red Button service). The following night, the band played their first full-length UK
concert since 2005, at London's Royal Albert Hall. Prior to this, on 12
October, "I Love You But I'm Lost" was released as a single from a
new 16-track Tears For Fears compilation album titled Rule The World - The
Greatest Hits. The
compilation was released by Universal Music on 10 November 2017, and includes
fourteen Top 40 hits from all six previous Tears For Fears albums along with
two new tracks. In October 2017, the band announced an
11-date UK arena tour for April–May 2018, featuring Alison Moyet as the support
act. However, the tour was postponed to early 2019 due to unspecified health
reasons.
The band performed at
further UK and European festivals in Summer 2019, starting with the Hampton
Court Palace Festival on 18 and 19 June, the Forest Live festival at Delamere
Forest on 21 June, and the Nocturne Live Concert Series at Blenheim Palace on
22 June.
In February 2020, the
band's Songs from the Big Chair was the subject of an episode of the
BBC series Classic Albums featuring new interviews with the band and all key
personnel from the album's creation and subsequent success. To coincide with
the album's 35th anniversary, the 2014 deluxe boxed set was reissued by
Universal Music, as well as a new 12-inch vinyl picture disc of the album.
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them, goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on.

Stood still on a highway
I saw a woman
By the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own
Reflected in my window
Well she walked up to my quarterlight
And she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me
In my shadow
She said "Son, what are you doing here?
My fear for you has turned me in my grave"
I said "Mama, I come to the valley of the rich
Myself to sell"
She said "Son, this is the road to Hell"
On your journey 'cross the
wilderness
From the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to Hell
Well I'm standing by a river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlights
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to Hell
