“He couldn't make the thought go anywhere, and soon zoned out into watching the television screen. It showed a crazy-haired old gent tramping around an undistinguished patch of countryside. He couldn't remember selecting the channel, and with the sound off it really wasn't very interesting. Was it worth turning the sound up? Probably not. It increasingly seemed to him that television was being created for someone else. He was welcome to watch it, of course, but it was not he whom the creators had in mind.

“La “Crisi Esistenziale” di chi ama l’amore e ha il coraggio di amare.

Nell’epoca dove tante cose sembrano andate perse, e dove molti valori sembrano pian piano scomparsi, si trova spazio e l’ispirazione di far nascere una nuova canzone, con la quale si vuole comunicare i tanti disagi che il mondo attuale si appresta a vivere, le tante problematiche che spesso attanagliano l’essere umano, sempre preso da se stesso, e molto spesso distratto da tutte le cose che il mondo e la vita offrono.
E' cosi che nasce “Crisi Esistenziale” il nuovo brano che dà il via al nuovo album di Savio De Martino, cantautore dalle mille risorse artistiche, un brano scritto dallo stesso Cantautore, sia per la parte letteraria, che per la parte musicale, un brano voluto, un testo ricercato, una canzone necessaria, una sorta di protesta, un modo di gridare e poter dire, BASTA !!!
Questo stesso brano è stato anche proposto alla candidatura per le nuove proposte di Sanremo Giovani 2015, proprio perche’ i giovani possano valorizzare la propria vita e il futuro, trovando stimoli nuovi, trovando aiuto in chi ha potere, costruirsi un domani fatto di sogni da poter realizzare, Savio De Martino ancora una volta riesce a regalare nuove emozioni, il suo essere cosi poliedrico, rende questo artista, seppur giovane, capace di mettersi sempre in gioco e in discussione con vari generi musicali.
Le sue tendenze variano dal Pop al Jazz, dal Blues alla buona Musica Leggera, in tanti anni di gavetta e di carriera è sempre riuscito a dire la sua, regalando al pubblico che lo segue con affetto e stima, tante emozioni e soprattutto tanta energia positiva.
Lui innamorato della vita, innamorato della musica, e speranzoso che le cose e il mondo puo’ cambiare, una crisi cosi mondiale, dovrebbe far riflettere molte persone, e sensibilizzare chi ha il potere di essere a capo di tutto, ecco perché nasce questo nuovo brano per il 2015, dal titolo "Crisi Esistenziale".

“Crisi Esistenziale” - (Testo e Musica : Savio De Martino)

CHI SONO IO PER SENTIRMI UN DIO,
E CHI SEI TU PER DECIDERE,
CHI SIAMO NOI NON LO SAPREMO MAI,
MA CERTO STA’ CHE NON SIAMO EROI,
IL MONDO VA’ CONSUMANDOSI,
LA TERRA E’ ORMAI FUOCO E CENERE,
LA GIOVENTU’ NON LAVORA PIU’,
L’ECONOMIA NON PRODUCE..
RIT.
FERMATI, NON COMMETTERE ALTRI DANNI,
BASTA METTERSI NEI PANNI,
DI CHI HA PERSO OGNI RAGIONE,
E VORREBBE QUALCOSA DI PIU’,
RITROVANDO QUEI VALORI,
QUI SI MUORE PER UN NIENTE,
TUTTI SANNO MA SI MENTE,
E LA GENTE NON CE LA FA’ PIU’…
A PAGARE GLI ERRORI DI CHISSA’,
A PARLARE DI COSE CHE NON SA’,
NON C’E’ PIU’ SENSO DI DOVERE E SENSO DI MORALITA’,
NON C’E’ VITA CHE POSSA TOGLIERE
IL DIRITTO DI VIVERE PERCHE’,
OGNI ANIMA E’ UN DONO E VA VISSUTA E UN’OPPORTUNITA’..

CHI SONO IO FRA MILIARDI NOI,
SEMBRIAMO ORMAI SOLO NUMERI,
E CHI SEI TU CHE HAI SETE DI POTERE,
CHE PENSI DI DOVER COMANDARE,
E NON E’ MAI TARDI PER CAMBIARE,
LA LIBERTA’ STA ANCHE NELLO SPERARE,
IL MONDO E’ LIBERO DI AMARE,
E LO SI FA’ SENZA GUERRE..
RIT.
FERMATI, NON COMMETTERE ALTRI DANNI,
BASTA METTERSI NEI PANNI,
DI CHI HA PERSO OGNI RAGIONE,
E VORREBBE QUALCOSA DI PIU’,
RITROVANDO QUEI VALORI,
QUI SI MUORE PER UN NIENTE,
TUTTI SANNO MA SI MENTE,
E LA GENTE NON CE LA FA’ PIU’… NON CE LA FA PIU’…

NOI SIAMO UNA GENERAZIONE,
CHE NON SA’ PIU’ DOVE ANDARE,
COLPA DI UNA CONFUSIONE,
CHE CI PORTA A SBAGLIARE QUI C’E’…
CRISI ESISTENZIALE..CRISI ESISTENZIALE..CRISI ESISTENZIALE…!”
― Savio De Martino
