METALHEAD REACTS| FRANCO BATTIATO LA CURA (Eng lyrics) 

Shut up and listen...

An american reacting to Battiato? instant like

In Italy we use to call him "Maestro" (the Master). He wasn't only a stunning musician and poet. He was a wonderful person, a soul that seemed being touched from something we cannot reach and completely understand in our terrestrial existences. I always cry when I listen to this song. And that's what happened just right now. Tears were so heavy. ❤️

E vabbè questa non è una canzone ma poesia all'ennesima potenza

la canzone che ha scritto per sua madre anziana che anche se non connetteva più e non lo riconosceva ,sapeva quanto aveva fatto per lui era "un'essere speciale" lui viveva con lei e se ne prendeva "cura" ,la pettinava ,la lavava, la nutriva "la difenderò dalle ipocondrie e dalle tue paure" tutti gli consigliavano di portarla in una casa di cura per anziani, ma lui la volle tenere accanto a se fino alla morte rifiutando l'abbandono.

Questa è l'unica e la sola canzone al mondo che riesce a farmi piangere ogni fottuta volta che l'ascolto! ❤️❤️❤️

"Tesserò i tuoi capelli come trame di un canto" ..... penso sia una delle frasi più belle che si possano dire....

Battiato was an experimentalist, a deep connoisseur of western and eastern cultures; philosophy, religion, history, poetry, literature are all found in his music and his lyrics. A huge figure who has marked the Italian music scene since the 70s, he also composed classical music works. Everytime I listen to his songs I'm taken to another land, a better one where everything is positive and life is suspended from the chaos and ugliness. He has the ability of taking your soul on a beautiful journey. I adore him 💕

ciao:) pian piano stai aprendo lo scrigno che contiene l'anima dei cantautori italiani. buon viaggio :) un saluto dall'Italia

Impossible not to cry...

Try to not cry level: Impossible. This Amazing artist made more than 40 albums, there are so many masterpieces in them. Miss him

I'm italian and I'm so flattered that our music is being appreciated in other Countries especially in America. Thanks for your review!

Questa è la più bella canzone mai scritta da franco Battiato.

Your admiration for italian singers amazes me and makes me so happy. I love that you help spread our music through out the whole Wide Web. Tank you so much.

In Italy, Battiato is known as "The Maestro", for good reasons; I mean, a love song giving goose bumps to a metalhead means something. Although quite ok, the translation is a little bit incorrect, the original one is even better. Let me fix a few things: 4:28 "Ti porterò soprattutto la pazienza, percorreremo insieme le vie che portano all'essenza" = "What I will give you, above everything else, will be patience/resilience. We'll walk together on the path leading to essence/truth". 4:44 "Bonaccia D'Agosto" = refers to a sailing term, "stillness of winds (typical of the month of August in the Mediterranean sea)". It's the lack of wind making a ship unable to manoeuvre. It refers to lack of passion, equating the stillness winds unable to fill a sail to the lack of passion in a relationship. He says he won't allow that to happen. 4:51 "trame di un canto" = "threads of a song" (not "plot"). Trama is literally the weft thread in a pattern; it's also used for "plot" of a story or a novel, but in this context "thread" is more adequate than "plot". 4:55 "Conosco le leggi del mondo e te ne farò dono": "I know the laws of the world, and I will make a gift for you out of them". Here the Maestro pictures himself as a warlock, or a mage of some kind, who knows the scientific and spiritual laws ordering reality, and he says that he will make a package out of them, and gift the listener with this priceless knowledge. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful sentence in the whole song. 5:03 "Supererò le correnti gravitazionali" - "I will step across any gravitational current" -- overcome (as shown is the translation) is sort of ok, but in reality it's more "run faster than...". Just a nitpick here. However the translation shown in the video is 95% correct, and not terribly off in the places where it is incorrect, so quite a good job! Also, be sure to hear the orchestra live version (the Maestro was much older, but the music is just worth): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6JHhYZ664DQ.html (edit: they changed the link)

It's a special song, from another dimension. Transcendental.

You're reacting to all my favorite italian artists, that's great! Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Franco Battiato earlier this year, i was so devastated. He was a poet and a philosopher, many of his songs are inspired by Greek philosophers. I was in high school when i started listening to his songs and got fascinated by grek philosopy. He was also a wonderful human being. Years ago, while i was trying my luck in the entertainment business, i worked to one of his concerts, they had me staying in the hallway to his changing room to make sure nobody was sneaking in (it was summer, the concert was in an outdoor arena and people could easily reach him) i was literally a nobody young girl and i still remember hearing him talking saying that he wanted to meet every single person who worked hard to make the concert happening, that we were the important ones and not him...few seconds later he walked to me and introduced himself and thanked me to be there. It was such a beautiful moment...he really was an amazing soul. Sorry for my ramblings!

The drummer of this record is Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree, another genius! With headphones you can hear all the ghost notes on the snare :)

Inno all'Amore universale. RIP grande Maestro Battiato

The interpretation of this song is spiritual. Battiato is singing playing the role of God. That's why he sings that he is going to protect us from evil and from deseases because we are special beings in His eyes. So touching if you interpretate this song like this.

Hey there. Just a quick note......He dedicated this song to his ''soul''........the song's not about a person, but about his soul! So as you can understand, it is so much deeper than it first appears. Much love! love the channel. P.s .....Battiato is from my same town in Sicily, and it makes me proud that his work it's so respected.

Meraviglioso Battiato

This in my opinion is the ultimate love song. There is no better declaration of love in the world! Franco Battiato was a great poet and a man of extreme sensitivity ❤️‍🩹 We miss the Master 🤧

Quando la sento io piango.... Perché io come Franco ho fatto la scelta di occuparmi di mia madre e di vivere con lei la sua malattia.... È stato un percorso difficile , ma lei ancora una volta ha dato piu a me che io a lei... UN'ALTRO infinito domo d'amore .. GRAZIE. MAMMA ..OVUNQUE TU SIA..❤❤❤

I'm a old true metal head , i'm Sardinian,i love Franco Battiato .Rip Maestro di grandi emozioni.Ora sei il TUTTO.

I advise you to listen to other songs by Franco Battiato, you will be really amazed.

Ti ringrazio Mad per avere scoperto (come voglio definirle io) le radici della nostra musica, non intendo quella classica di Giuseppe Verdi e altri grandi compositori dei secoli scorsi, ma del nostro cantautorato immenso da Battisti, Dalla, Baglioni, De Andrè, De Gregori, Fossati, Daniele, Bennato, Graziani, Fortis, Rossi, Branduardi ....... e quanti altri ne dimentico (ti consiglierei anche le nostre cantautrici: Nannini, Consoli, Rei, De Sio... e ne dimentico sicuramente tante altre), escludiamo interpreti e gruppi non per denigrare certo...ma FRANCO BATTIATO è il MAESTRO, IL GENIO INDESCRIVIBILE purtroppo mancato quest'anno e lasciando un grande vuoto, INCOLMABILE, anche se per te è difficilissimo pronunciare il suo cognome (mi hai fatto ridere!) ma anche soltanto l'esserti addentrato, avere provato ad andare oltre i Maneskin (che io adoro) e ai quali va un grazie per aver fatto da apripista, non solo al rock made in Italy ma ad avere aperto almeno uno scorcio sul nostro mondo musicale infinito e MOLTO VARIO...ho provato gioia e piacere in questo tuo post, sensibile e attento...il percorso del Maestro è lunghissimo, inizia negli anni 60 a sperimentare, è tra i primi a portare quasi per caso l'elettronica nei primi anni 70 in Italia, fino a scrivere opere come la GENESI o essere regista del film documentario "attraversando il bardo.."! Un po' come i Maneskin ahahahah ogni suo brano è un singolo, un pezzo di mosaico, non riproducibile a mio parere e non delude mai, per testi, melodia, atmosfera a volte irreale, per sognare, ballare, riflettere, commuoverti, Lui umile e ironico è stato oltre l'artista, (dipingeva anche) oltre il musicista o direttore d'orchestra..pensa che viveva ai margini del deserto, alle pendici dell'Etna, nel suo eremo, aperto ad amici e a tutto ciò che era arte e spirito... Il primo della lista per me è L'OMBRA DELLA LUCE e per conoscerlo magari in un colpo solo e capire la sua profondità, il suo cammino spirituale, il coraggio, la generosità, l'unicità ti posto questo link del suo concerto a Baghdad con lo scopo umanitario di aiutare l'infanzia irachena: un ponte per Baghdad (per citare una delle sue tante iniziative, pezzi orecchiabili e apparentemente leggeri, non sense nell'album che gli ha dato il grande primo successo: "La voce del padrone" era un pozzo di saggezza senza fondo)...sarei onorata che anche il tuo pubblico americano e non ne venisse a conoscenza, attraverso i tuoi filtri di sincerità, generosità e intenditore di buona musica...grazie! valeria ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-otuDAwqOE20.html

questa è una poesia, non è musica normale

Battiato has a spiritual dimension. You find in his songs the search that everyone of us does to find something superior, the real search of artists. You got the pronunciation! Love you too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

the lyrcs is litteraly the soul that speaks to his human personality, is this the meaning of the song

Very emotional, one of the best italian song of all time. Battiato was a real poet!!❤

Battiato was called the "Master" in Italy, a "spiritual" and esoteric master, expressing himself in songs. There are also stories speaking about him in a High level (good) massonic groups, using symbolics expressions and words to be interpretate in his songs.

Lucio battisti - i giardini di marzo Lucio dalla - la sera dei miracoli

Chills from beginning to end. This song is part of our heritage, the most beautiful words spoken to someone you love ever written, in my opinion. Thank you Angelo!

The iconic album of Franco Battiato is "La voce del padrone", for example "Summer on a solitary Beach" or "Centro di gravità permanente". They marked our teen age years...

Una canzone che mette i brividi, entrando fino in fondo alla tua anima...

LA SERA DEI MIRACOLI,and CARUSO ,by Lucio Dalla please!

È stupendo, il significato di questa canzone, l'anima che parla al corpo, grazie mille Maestro.

Battiato was such a great musician, poet, painter and mystic! A Renaissance man.

IL GENIO della musica italiana!Indimenticabile...

absolute masterpiece

This is a masterpiece of Franco Battiato even called " il maestro Franco Battiato". His music was a world apart. Unfortunately he died this year, a great loss for italian music and for the whole cultural italian landascape."

A genius who loves oriental culture, in this song it is the soul that speaks to the body. It is not a simple love song as many believe.

Tip: it's pronounced bat-tea-a-tow :) Also la cura means "the cure"

RIP Franco. Your music will always live on! Thanks Mad Ang for your reaction to a very powerful song!

Battiato is a true philosopher. He spent all his time to looking for the truth. His art is in another dimension. You, Angelo, you are wonderful to go to discover this artist. You deserve to come to Italy!!! Your soul is so deep and connected with us. Come on! Come to Italy!!!!! 😘

this masterpiece is much more deeper than what looks like a simply beautiful love song: he speaks about the soul

The lyrics are so powerful that no matter of deep and complex his references are in certain steps of the song, you cry because of their emotional impact. Battiato’s songs are culturally above any other (his studies of oriental populations and so on), but nonetheless kill you through your stomach ❤️

Battiato experienced any kind of music in his career... You should listen to his entire discography, he will take you to another dimension ❤️ because he his a special being ❤️ p.s. the drummer here is Gavin Harrison ❤️❤️

Thank you Angelo. Everytime I listen to this song I shiver. The lyrics in Italian are pure poetry,but even in English I think they can reach the human soul in every country of the world. Battiato was a special human being connected to other spiritual worlds. He was a master in meditation. A part of his music production is mystical and another part is Made of hits. He and his music are peculiar. He passed away not so long ago and Italy has lost his 'Maestro'.❤️❤️❤️

Franco Battiato è un artista meraviglioso. Non dico cantante, perché nel suo caso è riduttivo. I suoi testi sono poesie messe in musica e " La Cura" è un vero capolavoro. Ogni volta che l'ascolto, sento i brividi e l'emozione è sempre forte. Grazie Maestro🙏🏻💜

... vasco è vasco, ma qui si sta esplorando l'olimpo della Musica .... da brividi Franco

Thank you!! I really loved the fact that you loved it! As you stated, this is about love. Pure love. I saw an interview of Battiato (who passed away a couple of months ago), where he said that this could be interpreted as anyone wishes: God to humans, soul to body, partner to partner, to friend, to parents, to children. It is just pure love and everyone can shape it the way he/she wants. Thank you again!!! ❤️❤️ I am definitely going to request more buy me a coffee and bother you more often!! 🤣🤗✨💕

I grew up listening to him. I was in elementary school when I've got to know his music thanks to my father. Great reaction as always ❤️❤️❤️

Another masterpiece is "Voglio vederti danzare" (Franco Battiato)

This marvel is 25 years old, Battiato was not only a musician for us he was the "maestro". It is not really a love song but a kind of "journey" for those suffering from incurable diseases. Perhaps it was dedicated to his mother who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Nice reaction ❤️

I appreciate your job so much, you're so open minded and smart. You've get the song. So many people think that "La cura" is just a love song, but it talks about a message from your inner soul. He was a prophet, he was an elevated soul adn probably we will undesterd half of what he wanted to say with his art. I suggest you "tutto l'universo obbedisce all'amore" with Carmen Consoli. Thank you for your work, so much ❤️

A me piace tantissimo anche questa di Franco Battiato: "Shock In My Town" 😘😘😘

Franco Battiato was a giant in italian music and a spiritual master. I Will bring him Always in my ❤️

Da poco ci è mancato Battiato,sempre nei nostri cuori con canzoni e testi ineguagliabili,abbiamo poeti unici in Italia che cantano la poesia,da Renato Zero a Fabrizio de André,da Battisti a Mina,da Vasco a Francesco de Gregori,potrei andare avanti con Baglioni,Cocciante ,Dalla,Mango,non ho citato le donne.Pausini,Nannini,Elisa,Turci Mannoia,...siamo davvero fortunati ad avere tanta poesia. Un saluto a chi esalta sempre e comunque la musica soprattutto quando le canzoni ci fanno sopravvivere alla quotidianità e per citare un nostro poeta"....ma che cos'è che ci fa andare avanti e dire che non è finita"....poesia pura.Un abbraccio.Andrea. Tu continua così che sei forte!

la bellezza dell'assoluto, la bellezza dell'incanto, la poesia di ogni singolo pensiero in questa canzone fanno venire la pelle d'oca già dal primo ascolto! Battiato era un genio !

Franco Battiato was a poet, he experimented with many genres, his lyrics have a certain metaphysical quality to them.

Hi Ang 🤘 Can you check out this one, Fabrizio De André one of the greatest Italian songwriters, he wrote a lot of poetic song, you are spoilt of choice. Here some of my favorites - Via Del Campo - Inverno - Dolcenera - Jamin-a - Crêuza de mä - Don Raffaé - Il Pescatore I surely forget some, but I will love to see your reaction on this one. Pick one and enjoy the music.

Battiato was a poet, a songwriter, a singer, a director and a politician. Glad that you discovered this hidden gem. He was never very popular abroad

Thanks Mad!

Esta es una canción que abraza y reconforta con su letra , amo esta canción .

Nelle sue canzoni, cioè poemi ci sono sempre riferimenti filosofici e culturale,lui è quel di più che ti fa crescere ,non solo emozionare

Imagine a soul speaking to the just born body it is in. That's this song. A soulspeaking to its body. At a certain point he sings "...starting from today you will encoutner on your way" or also "from the failures that for your nature you will attract" . You do not say to your loved ones that he'she attracts failures, do you ? Franco battiato was not only a poet, he was also only of the best ones.

This song talks about the love and the attention paid not between two people, but between the immortal soul of a person and the person (the soma) itself. It is just amazing. I love his music and his soul too.

Ogni volta mi emoziona, buon viaggio Maestro,adesso per te non c'è più confine tra il passo dell' uomo e il volo delle ali....

A great masterpiece of Italian music and lyric ever and forever

The most beautiful Italian song ever written. It's a poignant poem, a himn to pure love. Every time I listen to this masterpiece, I can't hold back the tears. Battiato was and always be "Il Maestro" ( "The Master ): a unique and exceptional artist.

Thanks for this Song! ♥️ Battiato in Italy is the Maestro! Poet, Director of Orchestra, writer of Opera, Ambassador of the animals and SOUL! Philanthropy and philosophy in one GREAT man!

This song, like others said, can also be interpreted as the soul's love for the "outer shell", the heart-mind-body and personality, but of course love exists and is expressed on all levels of consciousness. There are a few mistakes in the translation, unfortunately... the text has a deeper meaning if you translate correctly a few key passages! For example: at 4:25 a more correct translation is (instead of i'll take you above the silence and the patience.) "I'll bring you (give you), above all, silence and patience" 2:25 "and you'll heal from all diseases" 4:31 "the roads" (or "paths")

Il Maestro Franco Battiato. Questa canzone si può definire con una parola: Amore. This song can be defined with one word: Love.

There's a lot of Italian masterpieces never known abroad. I love that you decide to take this journey into our music. You are going deeper and deeper. I love also Mango "Mediterraneo" is my favorite song, because it remember me beautiful of the southern Italy. Another singer very famous in Italy that made the history is Adriano Celentano. I know that my Italian fellas will throw rotten tomatoes to me, but we cannot deny is part of our history 😂 from "l'emozione non ha voce" that is a love song, to "il tempo se ne va" dedicated to his child growing up or "Il ragazzo della via Gluck" or "pregherò" (stand by me cover) and much more. But we have also Gianna Nannini, Giorgia and really much more

There we go, I'm crying 😞 Master Franco I miss you so much ❤️ thank you Ang, you are listening the most spiritual way to talk about love, the highest level ever to describe what is love. Sublime

I cantautori italiani sono imbattibili. Abbiamo la poesia e il sentimento nel cuore . Io non ho mai sentito testi così belli in lingua inglese.

una canzone che è pura poesia.

Love is a powerful thing. Some people live to work, when it should be work to live!! I hear you bro!! RIP Franko. Franko was a powerful song writer.

Ang sono veramente felice che dai spazio ai nostri meravigliosi cantautori poeti e ne apprezzi la loro sensibilità oltre che la loro musica e ne sei un grande esperto Battiato è un grande che ha lasciato un grande patrimonio ma scopriresti un mondo anche tra de Andrè Guccini Lucio Dalla Battisti de Gregori Vecchioni un bacio a te come quello che mandi con la mano quando ti piace molto una canzone scusa se non so scrivere in inglese

I absolutely adore how you are reacting to classic italian songs, Franco Battiato is a legend in Italy, It's hard putting this into words. Most of today's italian songs aren't meaningful and just go by trends. I will never forget these classic italian artists like Battiato or De Andre and I cheer you for listening to them regardless of the 'language barrier'. you are helping to spread an artist whose song hold incredible meaning, songs coming from th heart, and from times where everything seemed easier and people felt more genuine than today. Thank you. just subscribed

Cry every time I listen to this song. Will be age! A poem

Franco Battiato was a great "soul researcher", we could say, he was always fascinated by spirituality and people like Gurdjieff, Jesus, Buddha, Socrates, and other masters of history. And most likely, the song "La Cura" also had a spiritual background, like many of his other songs. In this song, it is most likely the soul who is having a conversation with the person, to whom he tells and promises that he will protect him. Marvelous.

7:14 YES YOU GOT IT! 💯✨👌 Perfect! Man, to me this song is both sad and wonderful, really one of a kind. But my personal fav of his is "centro di gravità permanente"! It's funky, upbeat, and his voice is really nice! There's a choir part, so fun lol really a mood!

I like your reactions because it's easy to see you're emotional. This is one of the most beautiful italian song of the last decades. Thank you..

A lot of people use to choose this song for their Wedding video soundtrack because is very touching and emotional. He doesn't let you understand the person who's this song is dedicated, but I read somewhere the person was his mother maybe when she was going to die, but anyway it's a universal love and can touch the heart of everybody. You can perceive behind that words there was a man with a enormous culture, a poet, even though you can't pronouce his name correctly. He wrote a couple of operas too about Ghilgamesh a epic sumeric of mesopotamia king. In the '70 he was a pioneer of electronic avant-garde music, he had many musical periods like David Bowie.

No way, I do not belive it, I've cryed again with this fabulous Song...

Missing Battiato, thank u Lord for his birth on Earth. One of the best poet of our time ❤️🙏

I state, while recognizing the artistic skills of the deceased Battiato I am not a big fan of his, yet this song has the ability to make me move every time I listen to it. Its melody, its arrangements, its vocal transactions, its deep text accompanied by its musical perfection in the ear, all make the piece pure poetry. Thanks Franco Battiato for giving us this masterpiece.

Franco ci ha lasciati un vuoto immenso dopo la sua morte un compositore incredibile ha una discografia enorme che merita l'ascolto .

Vero un Maestro innovatore ,studioso di musica biblica ,il primo ricercatore di suoni elettronici all'inizio un disastro ,non era soddisfatto di ciò che davano gli strumenti dell'epoca e cercava e costruiva apparati che dessero suoni che alzavano le vibrazioni che creassero atmosfere più profonde ed ancestrali, Le canzoni sono tante le liriche ed i testi sono di altissimo livello culturale e musicale ,"I treni di Tozeur, Cuccurucucu, Gli Uccelli ,La stagione dell'Amore ,Centro di gravità permanente ,Bandiera Bianca ,La Cura, l'Era del cinghiale Bianco, No Time no Space, un Sentimento nuevo, Ciao Maestro R.i.p

Battiato!! Yes you got his name!he passed little time ago, one of most refined Italian modern poet!I loved you appreciating modern music and his elegant lirics!! I cry every time I listen to "la cura" ( Caring) RIP

Amazing, everything here ... it is possible to see emotions through you of this very special song! Thank you

Canzone immensa stupenda del Maestro Franco Battiato. Rest in peace!

Non è una canzone d'amore per come si può intendere noi. Non ha un dialogo tra un uomo e una donna e nemmeno tra due esseri umani.solo uno può essere un umano.La voce narrante del brano è la voce dell'anima. È la ricerca dell'io e della verità interiore e l'anima vuole proteggerci da tutte le nostre paura, turbamenti, ipocondrie generate dal nostro ego per poterci far evolvere. Il "maestro" Battiato va sempre Oltre al velo. È la canzone più bella e significativa che possa aver ascoltato meravigliosa!

A song from Fabrizio de Andrè, sung by Franco Battiato - La Canzone Dell Amore Perduto = Lost love's song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I9LYnDY0VVw.html the original: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LNuk0OgWhQ.html

Everybody assumes this is a love song from somebody to someone else. Actually, Battiato was really adamant in explaining that that was a superficial way of reading the song. The actual meaning of the song is a thorough description of what you experience during meditation. Which is love.

Seeing an American metalhead being absolutely moved and appreciating a song from an Italian poet is so heartwarming.

Grazie Mad 💕💕💕 Anche tu sei un essere speciale ❤ Si capisce che sei molto sensibile e hai un grande Cuore ❤️ Grazie perché mi ero un po' chiusa e mi stai facendo riscoprire la Bellezza deila musica Sì, giusto B A T T I A T O he's an Angel now 💙💙
