Hi Jake, I am glad to see you back! I would like to take advantage of your platform to talk about what is happening where I live. I am an Italian beginning my 4th week of smartworking and my 2d in full quarantine, living near Milano. There are people I care about having family on the verge of death or in fear of having been infected. I URGE everybody to take this situation seriously to not end up in our type situation, which is dramatic (more than 26.000 infected). Our hostpitals in the north (which are excellent) are about to collapse. Nurses and doctors are starting to get infected and and to die themselves. There is a lack of equipment (gloves, masks everything). And we MUST stay home to save ourselves and all the people we love. Our fathers, husbands, children, friends. It not true that covid19 is a problem only for the elderly. There are many people in their 30ies and 40ies fighting for their lives (and losing). My life consists of going out with the dog twice, with surgical gloves and masks (not even the correct ones, because they cannot be found anywhere. And I am one of the lucky ones that actually managed to get gloves and masks. I have 8 masks.. they should be thrown away after 12 hours... not an option. Think about that many have to go to work and cannot get a freaking mask ANYWHERE) and sunglasses. And when I come back home I must disinfect my dog's leash, mobile phone, sunglasses, hands, scarf and so on. We have to stay at 1metre distance minimun, not touch, not hug, not kiss. In some towns they have so many deaths that they don't have space in the morgues and have to place the bodies in churches (and btw, of course there are no funerals, no rest for anybody). These people die alone, because nobody can even go near the hospitals, not even family. We do our best to keep our spirits up (with musical flashmobs and so on), because NOTHING can break our characters and our historical resilience, but it is really hard. So please, please... understand that this is serious, and do what you are told, follow the rules. Please, stay home and BE SAFE ❤🇮🇹 On a fun note: if you haven't seen Sanremo, please go find all performances of Achille Lauro 's Me ne frego. He shook the hell out of the traditional "old" sanremo audience. Their wigs fell off 🇮🇹
Thank you for your story. It is heartbreaking. ;( Don't forget your dog's paws. You can buy shoes for dogs, so that you can easily take them off when you get home. (I am trying to self isolate as much as possible).
Karin Seregni Thank you so much for sharing what has to seem like an impossible situation right now. You are correct that Italy has some of the best hospitals in the world. Hearing that they are under equipped and being pushed to the breaking point should definitely worry all of us. Your fate will be the same fate as a lot of us around the world. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to bring more awareness to you, to Italy, or in general. I’m gonna pin this comment so others can see and perhaps come up with a way to offer you assistance of some sort.💚✌️🇮🇹
Our prayers go to Italy. It's really unfortunate that you had to suffer from initial lack of action by the government and now the world is using Italy as a catastrophic example. I cannot imagine the scenes there and the crippling effect this will have on your beautiful country's economy. In Ireland, I must compliment our government for decisive action in closing schools etc relatively quickly but we too like the rest of the world are still vulnerable. Please listen to your leaders everyone and stay safe! Prayers to you all
@@JakesFaceReacts hospitals are actually trying to convert other spaces into new wings because there is no space whatsoever. Not for patients, not for bodies sometimes. What is really important is to spread the TRUTH, which does not mean to spread panic or apocalyptic messages. But the truth. It is still true that this disease is not the plague, however it is serious: 1) 15/20% of the infected need intensive care for weeks and weeks, 2) It is not a danger for old people only: our patient 1 has 38 years old, runs marathons and is as fit as possible. Still, after a month he is still in intensive care and has just started to breathe by himself again. There are doctors and paramedics (sort of, we don't have that figure in Italy) dying and being infected, even if protected with special glasses, masks, 2 or 3 sets of gloves, special suits etc. It is thought that a person can infect between 2 and 4 people. 3)medical devices are essential: do not trust anybody saying that gloves and masks are useless; do not think that bleaching and disinfecting your home and things is an exaggeration. However, it is still crucial to find things that make you happy and continue doing them: reading, cooking, studying. Find joy where you can. And have sense of humour. Nothing helps to exorcise fear like a good meme, satire and humour. Of course, your videos are a good relief 😍
@@stevieboy666 I thank you for the support ❤ Must only point out that our government started to take actions very early in this mess, well before the end of January (and I say this, if any Italian is reading, regardless of political orientation). Moroever, it appears to be established that the virus probably came to Europe at the very beginning of the year, and that our patient 0 wasn't Chinese nor Italian. But of course, I am no expert, so don't take my words as gold (as we say here 😅) .I am trying to watch what is happening here in the most neutral way I can: there will be time, eventually, to make people pay their dues (if needed). Again, thank you for your support, spread the word: stay home and be safe 💪❤ All my good vibes to Ireland, a place I'd like to visit as soon as I can.
To all Italians: we think of you every day, We pray for all ,I hope this nightmare ends as soon as possible for all! Even though the competition is cancelled this song speaks in our hearts. I send you love and support from your neighbour country, Greece
The only song deserving of the win this year in my opinion. There are some other good songs, but nothing that comes close to the beauty and emotion of Fai Rumore
This is the anthem of 2020! My favourite Eurovision song this year, if we have a contest this year, then this will get my vote. It's time to bring the contest back to Italy!
PURE EMOTION!!!! And it's even better live! When I first saw his San Remo performance I was just in awww. I was left breathless at least 3 times throughout the song and by the end got misty eyed! When I saw the video clip it didn't have the same impact, but it's still amazing, still my No1!!
Speaking of Francesco Gabbani, he returned to Sanremo this year and came second! He and Diodato seemed to be great friends too! Both are amazing! Thank you for this reaction! Fai rumore is certainly a beautiful song and deserves all the love and success it's getting!
I have 6 or 7 favourite entries this year, but if someone asks, the Italian one is the best for me This song is so beautiful and so pure.. I don't know.. always goosebumps when I listen to it❤
Support to all the people in Italy and abroad! I was impressed with their entry from the very moment it was selected.I admire Italians for staying positive and singing.We will all get through this together.Lyrics have much deeper meaning now.Italy you deserve to win this year not just because of this situation but because you are serving quality every single year!
Matteo Bongiorno Thank you. I’m sorry for making you wait so long and for what you’re going through. Please take care of yourself. Italy has been the bravest country in the face of this virus.💚✌️🇮🇹
One of my favourite entries!! If Diodato ran away with the win out of nowhere, I'd be happy. I'm so glad you liked it too! I did see a clip of people singing this particular song out of the windows in one neighbourhood- beautiful and fitting.
I was waiting for your reaction, and finally you did it, I love your videos ❤ Thank you for your love, we are a strong Country and everything is gonna be alright 🇮🇹 hugs from Italy 💚
I just love this one. It's been a while since Sanremo took place but Fai Rumore has stuck with me. I constantly catch myself humming it during the day. Diodato's voice is pure magic and the amount of raw emotion he is able to project with it is astounding. Plus this chorus is so highly impactful it leaves me speechless every time. I love this entry I always love Italian entries. It's wonderful to know that they won't disappoint. Sending all the love and support for Italy in this trying time all the way from Poland. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones ♥️♥️♥️
dangi79 As you should. Maybe we can work on a Eurovision themed event in Italy with all proceeds going to the Italian Red Cross once things settle down again. You’re not getting rid of me so easily.💚✌️🇮🇹
Such an amazing song. The voice , the music , the words (I understand Italian). Just beautiful. And I agree with every little word you said and reacted to, Jake ! 10/10 without any doubt in my opinion :)
This song is about the end of a love due to lack of communication. He is now alone and silent, but she still rumbles in his head and heart ("fai rumore" means "you make noise", but I think "rumbles" is more poetic). He tries to forget her, but then he remembers her, he walks aimless but his feet take him to their special places. He's not sure if it's better the rumbles inside him or the silence around him. This song won Sanremo in february, just one month after I broke up with my girlfriend after 14 years and only a few days before the coronavirus emergency in Italy. In these lockdown weeks it has also taken on another meaning: we have to make "noise", because squares, streets, alleys are too empty and silent. This song is realy heartbreaking! To all the world: stay strong, stay safe. Here's the terrific performance in the Arena di Verona completly empty ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ogyi0GPR_Ik.html
I've listened to this song every day since I first heard it. The San Remo performance with the orchestra is worth watching too. Italy seem to always know how to make painful experiences beautiful. It gives me hope.
Worth watching if RAI weren't complete idiots and kept the RU-vid videos or let other people upload them. : ( Apart from going to their official website and scanning throught the 5 hour-video of that Sanremo night, there's no other way to watch the live performance of this song.
Italy: really emotional song. Makes sense now with the lockdown going on in some countries (including Italy). If you wanna see something cool, someone posted this on RU-vid of people in balconies singing to this song during the lockdown.
So happy you are back Jake. Really missed you. Enjoying the ESC music together with you will at least help me forget the current situation for a while. Love Italian and this ballad is just so emotional and beautiful.
My absolute favorite of this year's contest from the first time I heard it at San Remo! I share your love and thoughtfullness for the italian people these days, Jake. May we all come through this💛 Forza Italia🇮🇹 Greetings from Norway
Thank you all for your nice words for Italy! ❤️ We are really struggling forced to stay at home, always hoping that infection rate would rise down. We try our best to think positive, follow the rules and try to give the feeling to our families and friends that they are not alone. We should all Be thankful to doctors and nurses that can’t even take 1 full day of break to give us the best assistance ever. I think that no one right now has been more proud to be Italian 🇮🇹❤️
This song was written by Diodato about his ex, Levante. She is also a singer and was also competing against him in the 2020 Sanremo Festival. She was rooting for him to win the contest
Kobi1111111 He wrote the song about his ex and the song it's now became a hymn for the situation that is in Italy (with corona). I saw a video, made in Italy, where people were singing this song from their homes. This was emotional and sad in the same time. Italy you have all our love and support from Romania🇹🇩🇮🇪
I love how genuine your reactions are, Jake. This is such an incredible song, and Diadato's voice is something special. When his full voice comes out at the beginning of the chorus, it can't help but touch you. The way the Italians have embraced this song, singing it out of their balconies is an amazing thing to see. I would like to think it would make some impact on the Eurovision voting, both from the juries and televoting. This is a song I cannot stop listening to. Not only is it my favorite Eurovision song for the year, it has also become my favorite song for the year. It's a shame we won't be able to see how well it places, now that ESC 2020 has been canceled.
In my top 5 definitely. Sanremo was great this year, many interesting and diverse songs. Love Italian music. Thank you, Jake, for reminding us there can be optimism and love amist tragedy. Love your reaction..
Sanivde And his live performance was even better. Just WOW. ❤️ RAI has removed Sanremo's performances from RU-vid, but you can take a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5fmPBIFE6A.html Enjoy 😉
L Italia che canta l amore sublime Con sentimento e passione.... L amore che va oltre la morte.. Un inno bellissimo all amore! Peccato che il mondo va di corsa e si sono persi certi valori. Grazie per la tua recensione amico! 🌹
Do you know what I think? That I shouldn't think that, That when I think about it, I'm an animal And when I think of you, you are a soul But maybe it's this thunderstorm That carries me to you And I know you shouldn't me Without an umbrella, even if I understood that As much as I run away I always return to you What a noise you make here And I don't know if it's good for me Whether your noise suits me But yes, make noise I can't bear it This unnatural silence Between you and me And I walk around without talking Without arriving at a place I wear my shoes And maybe my shoes know Very exactly where it goes That I'm in the same places again Exactly the places I should have avoided And I pretend I don't remember And I pretend to forget it But I understand that But I understand that As much as I run away I always return to you What kind of noise are you doing here And I don't know if it's good for me Whether your noise suits me But yes, make noise I can't bear it This unnatural silence between you and me But yes, make noise I can't bear it This unnatural silence And now I never want to give up on it On this beautiful noise you make
I still find myself playing this on loop, even if it was one of the earliest to be selected. Something about this song just hits you in the feels, even if you dont understand the language.
So good to see you back on RU-vid! Thank your for the love you're sending to us in Italy. Our song is just beautiful and magical and I loved your emotional reaction to it❤
Hi dear I usually see those type of reactions cause I love that... I'm an Italian doctor, nice to meet you... This song became real... Let me tell something about the meaning... It's so actual because, you know San Remo was on February... Just one week before our lock down on Italy... So the chours of this ballad says, sorry screams do noise!!! In this period Italy became a silence place... We had the habit in this season to do so much noise, there are tourist and so mu h people in the streets, at the beach and in any other place of Italy and now it's empty for covid... He show his sadness and his surprise on negative to see our place empty and scream do noise... It's look like we can do it... Everything gonna be alright... We survive... This songs speak of us how we are feeling right Know... It's our manifest thanks for your video ciao da Milano Mattia
Thank you so much! You made my cry.... Thank you for showing your love and compassion for everything we're going through. It means a lot to me, and to all of us here in Italy. My advice is please stay at home and don't take this lightly. We'll win and we'll get through this
bαckup It does. I didn't even want to breathe or blink to not miss one single second of it. Just WOW. ❤️ RAI has removed Sanremo's performances from RU-vid, but you can take a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5fmPBIFE6A.html Enjoy 😉
Hello and welcome back Jake, I missed you a lot, beautiful song that makes goosebumps come, I'm biased because I'm Italian, but the song is really beautiful. It is even more beautiful hearing it sung by the people looking out the windows, during the Italian nights of these infinite days that we are living in quarantine due to the corona virus. Karin Seregni has explained very well what is happening here in Italy, in hospitals and the rules to follow to protect us from this virus, I pray everyone to stay longer that you can at home, and if you have to go out stay at least one meter away from people and always cover your nose and mouth with masks, be careful not to touch your eyes and always wash your hands well for at least a minute or so ... denatured alcohol and bleach diluted with water can be used to disinfect things and people ... l pray Lord to protect us all.
Oh man am I glad to see you back, Jake! We've all missed your input on this year's contestants. I'm glad you decided to release your reactions despite the sad news, it's great to appreciate the songs in their own right as songs. :) x
Here in Belgium we're confined as well since today 12 AM and cancelling eurosong was the best issue regarding the danger and the Netherlands politics to handle this situation. Shame on you Netherlands letting people outside. Be strong we are with U Italy in same situation with 15 days delay but cases of sicks and deads increases everyday. Take care of yourself and all people you love. No eurovsong is a deception but a quite decision as i told you before
