A very dark and serious song that I can suggest you is "Non siete stato voi", even though it has no official video, you should listen and ready the lyrics of that great song. In Italian "Non siete stati voi" means "it's not your fault". He plays with the fact that on the other hand "stato" means "state" or "government". Considering that, the title becomes "You are not the state". So basically he wants to say that the people who should represent our country are not doing that in the right way, but they keeps on not taking their responsibility.
my favorite is the live version in the concert for the workers' day on May 1st 2011. capa is particularly inspired and the cry of pain of the electric guitar is creepy ua-cam.com/video/JSETaGqlIns/v-deo.html
putting a serious message in a funky bit is kind of his signature. An example is the song "vieni a ballare in Puglia" (come dance in Puglia). It became like an anthem, everybody dances on it and sings the chorus, but the lyrics are actually devastating (he talks about the political, economical and cultural situation in Puglia, dark stuff like all the people who died because of unsafe work environments)
In Italian "afford" (permettere) stands also for "allow"(permettere\give permission) so... I can't allow (myself) ho have a tatoo on my face... Why? Because reasons. And so on! That Is how Caparezza expresses more than one meaning at a time. We are free to interpret it all in our own way, experiencing the song differently. Edit! When your daughter will(might) have the chance to learn a second language in school, be ready to strongly suggest Italian! ;) So you can learn it together! Would be amazing! ✨🎶✨🎶
the italian feel fast because every "T" "P" "M" "N" is closed sound you need to close the lips to made it, and normally the English rap sound "S" "E" "Z" "B" for base, Caparezza use the alliteration of the "M" and "N" (in this song) that was considered the lament sound in italian
Hey, i think u missed "Goodbye Malinconia" with Caparezza ft Tony Hadley, and if you have time listen to "Eroe Storia di Luigi delle Bicocche", another Caparezza masterpiece! Ciao!
What about "vieni a ballare in Puglia"? 🤔 ua-cam.com/video/EDCHk6JhFzQ/v-deo.html Incredible lyrics and meaning, especially if you know that "ballare" means "morire" in the song.
First video of yours I see, you actually put effort into reacting, 10/10 content. I love this song because it's very cathartic: yelling about something "shameful" like not being able to afford stuff and keeping up an image.
You should watch the video of "compro horror" the title is an italian joke about "gold shops" in italian called "compro oro" and doing money selling crimes like being horror concept stories and make money out of the misfortune of others. Plus the video is a 360.
Love the way you enjoy music! About Caparezza, did you check "Abiura di me" ? Edit: oh, you asked for a dark one, then you should check "Argenti Vive". Have a great day!
As far as I know, there are no rappers on this planet that do the stuff that Capa does. Unfortunately only who knows Italian can understand what I mean, he is truly unique, not only for flow, music and delivery but especially for content. Each sentence of the verses usually have 2 meanings which are quite understandable , but sometimes 3 or 4 meanings hidden behind. After so many years I am still quite surprised when his fans managed to find new 'easter eggs' and secret meanings hidden in the lyrics. And most of all, he doesn't talk about money, bitches and guns but all sort of things like politics, art, videogames, movies, society, civil rights, poetry and so on, which shows that he is a nerd with a massive culture. That's why ignorant people usually don't fully appreciate him as they can't understand his depth. If it happens to like pop culture, his has tons of cool songs about it, along my favorite there are: 'Kevin Spacey', 'Abiura di me' and 'Cover'.
In italian "non me lo posso permettere" has got two meanings: 1. I would like to buy a Ferrari, but "non me lo posso permettere" (I can't afford it) 2. I would like to eat everything I want but "non me lo posso permettere" (I can't allow myself to, because I have health issues/I will gain weight). In this song he plays with the double meaning of this phrase. Edit. Caparezza means "Head with curly hair"
Try "vieni a ballare in Puglia" too, dark song with very nice lyrics too. Caparezza is a very intelligent and capable songs writer. Very happy you appreciate him! 😊👍👍👍👍
Non me lo posso permettere literally translate to "i can't afford it" but in a broader sense it's used as "I can't allow myself to have/do smth" and this is the way Caparezza's using it
If you listen to "VIENI A BALLARE IN PUGLIA" by Caparezza, is a very "dark" song but sounds like a "happy ballad". Unfortunately, also if you translate it, i think is very difficult to understand the meaning cause is full of double meaning. Anyway.. is a good song. I suggest you listen to it. Keep the good job Bro ❤
La fitta sassaiola dell’ingiuria… it’s based on a 1800´s text of a Russian poet , it’s one of his first songs and the point of transition of caparrezza to a next level, and remanias maybe one of the more complicated songs and denser of symbolism in Caparezza … Sorry for bad english, usually i don’t comment , but these series of videos really rocks !
I love it that you got the full sense of the Italian word permettere even if it was translated to afford. It's awesome! You should really try to learn our beautiful language.
I would love for you to react to "Sogno Eretico" and "Kevin Spacey". "Sogno Eretico" is divided in 3 parts and each one is sang from the POV of one famous historical individual who died due to religious persecution. While the names are not directly stated, if one has a bit of knowledge on the topic, they might understand who is "talking". The song's title (which plays a big role in the chorus) means "Eretic Dream", a pun on the concept of an "Erotic Dream". While you may believe the song to be referring to wet dreams, the word for Dream, in this situation, is used with the meaning of "dreaming while awake", "aspiration", "idol", "Impossible desired outcome". It's honestly one of my favourite Caparezza songs. Kevin Spacey (An unfortunate name in recent years) is ... well, a spoiler filled song. Caparezza literally spoils the ending/big twist of dozens of movies, but he does it in such a great way that it's impossible not to love him.
One of my favorite Caparezza's dark songs is "Larsen", which talks about his sickness, or also "Contro Natura" from his latest album, it has some heavy and dark vibes especially on the music side.
All right, Ang! You found the real sense of this song! What we think we can or can't afford stays in reality or only in our thoughts and feelings? Or maybe in both...Who knows? Caparezza honestly hasn't an answer, he only expose a trouble. With his perfect flow! Stay well Ang!😊👋👋👋
"La Certa" is so deep and dark that sounds more like a poem then a song, out of his style but at the same time it fits him so well.. amazing lyrics about death! Must listen it! MUST read it!
Try with Larsen. About this song Caparezza said "It talksabout my tinnitus, which is a ringing in the ears to the limit of the unbearable. All beautiful things also take something away from you. I have this hearing loss which is the result of my live activity"
Darks songs? “Vieni a ballare in Puglia!”, ad some already said. That is the most dark. He sings about real issues, work death, people killed by mafia, fires, and shit like that. But he sing it on a dance base, funny and enjoyable, referencing the way people react to all those deaths: they ingnore them. Politic hide those situations behind tourism, smiles, sun and sea.
The depth at which you are able to understand and appreciate our music is really astonishing! You are really an artist understanding other artists at a deep level (i am thinking also about your comments on Fabrizio De André, Vasco etc)
I love Capa, and I love that you react to this! I see that you have reacted mainly to his late songs and I think that in a certain point in his career he had a change in his style like on the last 2 or 3 albums. I really recommend you to check some of his early songs, in my opinion he was WAY more political and used to say some really uncomfortable things in his lyrics. Check: "Felici ma trimoni" if you want to listen to him rapping VERY fast, or "Jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo" if you want to listen to a good example of what his style used to be!
10:20 The song is actually based on Irish music. That's because this song was inspired by a work by an Irish painter, Francis Bacon, which was sold for +140 million dollars in 2013, the highest price ever paid for an auctioned artwork. Cheers!
More than an economic "I can't afford it", it is understood as the choices we make in life are conditioned by a society, by a capitalism, which makes citizens become slaves only. We have to accept everything without ever being able to say a word because "we can't afford it".
Caprezza is used to write dark lyrics on song whit happy mood, on of he's most famous song is "vieni a ballare in Puglia" that means "Come to dance in Puglia" (place of south italy) he use the term "dance" like "die", the true means of the song is "Come to die in Puglia" He talks about all the serious problem of this country (Criminal Organizations Included) and how all of that is masked by an "happy", "dancing" vision that most of people have to this country.
I suggest you to listen at "Prosopagnosia" from album "Prisoner 709". It is a very introspective song focusing on the feeling of getting lost, and the awareness of this state of mind, where you don't recognize yourself as you know it. The sound is really dark.
"I wish i knew italian so i could really feel it". Man, Caparezza in Italy is successfull but not huge beacause he is too hard to understand also for us native speakers. His lyrics are cultured and fast, so not evryone is keen to make an effort to undstand it. He knows it and he is happy with it. A couple of times he "missed his target", like "sono fuori dal tunnel" and " vieni a ballare in puglia" he was viral but people misundstanded his lyrics. He is not for everyone
This song is so relatable to everyone, money or not there are things you can't afford no matter how much you want it, is about the balance of interests in your life, you have to make a choice. We are prisoners in the cage we built around us through years.
One of his first greatets hits is "fuori dal tunnel" (out of the tunnel). People thought that it was talking about drugs, but it was about lack of joy in life and boredom
This song was in the Album "Museica". Every song of this album is inspired by a famous painting. This one was inspired by "Three Studies of Lucian freud" by F. Bacon, that was audictioned at 142,4 mln dollars
If you want something darker try "La Certa" from his last album Exuvia. It's definitely one of his best songs, talks about life and death in a very unique way.
In general, society and of course lyrics, in italy is much less money-driven than us. I think that "non me lo posso permettere" here it is use as: I can not loose face so i can't do it.
In this song he plays on the double meaning of the verb "permettere" (it means both "afford" and "allow"). The verse in which he says "as a doctor I can't get a tattoo on my face, I can't afford it", he indeed means "I'm not allowed to" because a doctor is not socially allowed to get a tattoo on his face. I don't know how things work there in the USA but here in Italy a doctor with tattoos is seen as less reliable. Along the whole song he plays with this dual meaning making a complaint about the situation in Italy: "tonight I won't get out for dinner: I can't afford it" (I'm poor I can't afford a leisure night) but also "annuity like the senators: I'm not allowed to (have it)" (the ones that take decisions ask for sacrifices to us but not intend to do sacrifices themselves). You asked for a dark sounding song by Caparezza. Try with "Eroe (storia di Luigi delle Bicocche)". This song sounds sad and in fact the lyrics are about a worker making sacrifices to let his family have a worthy life.
a dark song of Caparezza is Prisoner 709 (this song gives the name at one of his albums), it's metal and talks about how he is a prisoner of his own world (7 are the letters of his name Michele, 9 are the letters of his art name Caparezza, that's why he is the Prisoner 709)
Yoh man, very nice to see you keep your knowledge's travel in to the world of Italian music. I have a suggestioni for you that i think you will not regret to follow. I saw you have discovered Mia Martini and Antonella Ruggero and Elisa, great artists and voices, but you miss another great great Italian female voice...she is Giuni Russo, one of the top voice of Italian music that sadly have leaved us too soon. You can start with the song "gabbiano" or "la sposa" singed with a chorus of nuns or "i ragazzi del sole". You have to listen to her cause she is absolutely one of the gems of Italian voices. Peace.
Oh man with caparezza you can open a whole section on your channel, so many great songs. I wish you could speak italian just so you could get the level of his bars and lyrics
Another masterpiece of Capa.. He's making fun of a phrase very common in iItaly, in particular the more richer the people is, the more they make a sad face and said they can afford it this and that (for ex. many big company said this to not improve the safety and salary of their employees, and even beg the govern to have aid money, and often they discover that the tax declaration are false and they have a lot of money) He also imitating politics debate, when they said at people that the govern is bad because they don't give them the money for school and medical shit, so they can't afford it for their citizen... If you want some dark song of Capa I suggest Argenti vive and Prisoner 709
I believe that one of caparezza darkest song is "Larsen". In this song he talks about his very serious hearing condition, I believe it's transaleted in english as tinnitus, but I don't know if it's the correct medical translation. In that song he sings about the struggle between the condition affecting him daily, the motivations to keep going on, and the almost suicidal drive that pushes him because of the lack of litteral silence in his head due to the hisses and noises this sickness gives him and how that affects his private and public life and carreer
If you like Caparezza, you should listen his album Verità Supposte.. Amazing songs like "Vengo dalla luna" or "jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo" and others more..
If I can suggest something totally different - "Elio e Le Storie Tese - Complesso del primo Maggio". They are known for comedy-non-sense lyric, but also has some of the most talented musicians in Italy
In the video Caparezza takes the politician persona (notice him stealing the bread at the end). The hammer scene I think it's more about the justice sistem than an auction.
"Prosopagnosia", "Prisoner 709" and "La Certa" are the darkest and more gloomy songs I can think of atm in terms of music and lyrics, from his music. Even his voice sounds different. His second to last album "Prisoner 709" is generally more melancholic compared to the music he has made in the past. Also his latest album "Exuvia" revolves around very deep and more personal themes. And the music reflects that. Love your reactions *thumbs up* Hugs and wish you a great day Ang!
I requested this song in a comment. I didn't buy you a coffee because I can't afford it 😂😂😂 Another song like this is " Caparezza - Sono un eroe" ( I'm a Hero )
Three songs from Caparezza: "Fuori dal tunnel" (out of tunnel), "Gli arbitri ti picchiano" (the referees beat you) and "Vieni a ballare in puglia" (Come to dance in Puglia)
Ang try "Goodbye melancolia" from caparezza feat tom hadley, it's my favorite song from him as it's the song I listened when I decided to go away from Italy, it's about the melancholy of leaving.
And "Eroe" reminds of my father a lot, talks about a poor carpenteer destroyed by life, but still fighting to give an honest life to his family, he's the actual hero for protecting his family.
If you want something darker, try “Non siete stato voi”, a song about the abuses politicians and the like made to our beautiful country. A tear comes up every time a listen to it.
You have already listen “agenti vive”? Is a piece with a metal music structure by caparezza, that talk about an enemy of Dante Alighieri, writer of the divne comedy.
The Maneskin did a cover of Caparezza. "Vengo Dalla Luna" by Caparezza. I recommend that you listen to these artists: Delta V. - Il mondo visto dallo spazio Delta V. - Se telefonando (cover by Mina) Antonella Ruggiero (ex Matia Bazar)- Amore Lontanissimo Antonella Ruggiero & Subsonica - Per Un Ora D'amore Subsonica (with Daniele Silvestri) - Liberi Tutti Subsonica - Colpo Di Pistola Neffa - Il Mondo Nuovo Neffa - Lontano Dal Tuo Sole Matia Bazar - Elettrochoc 24 Grana - Stai mai cca 24 Grana - La costanza 99Posse - Spara
Capa's got a lot of darker song, but i feel like one of his recent instrospective works that hits real hard is Larsen. Damn that thing gets you when you realize how it feels like having tinnitus
PLEASE MAN, Listen “Cover” from Caparezza, it’s beautiful and i think will be perfect for your tastes in music and for the lyrics!! He talks about all his influences, it’s so freaking special. Please, PLEASE, do it!
Those sounds are Irish but....if you want to be surprised look for "ciaramelle" "zampogne" (central Italy) and the oldest of them all "Launeddas" (Sardinia). Have fun!
Realy dark "sound" of caparezza... "Argenti vive" from museica album speaking about this violent guy that is was put in hell by Dante the autor of "la divina commedia" , "La certa" from his Last album exuvia this one speak about death itself and the fear that all we have in front of death being all the same and how great full we are should be because without the fear of death he wouldn't do nothing that he did till now, Contronatura Also from his Last album talking about mother nature how beautiful and at the same deadly it is. Unfortunatly the last 2 songs don't have videos. But they are the darkest songs that i remenber of caparezza.
To all of you guys: please stop suggesting the worst songs of this Master of Ceremonies xD. Caparezza is a mix between Frank Zappa, Eminem and Franco Battiato, and as such, these songs just scratch the surface. To Mad Ang: I highly recommend one between "Cammina Solo", "La Fitta Sassaiola dell'ingiuria", "Nessuna Razza", "Vieni A Ballare In Puglia", "Non Siete Stato Voi", "Eroe", "Fugadà" and "Il Mondo Dopo Lewis Carroll". With an eye focused on the lyrics. That's It. Love your show, Peace
Ang i love you because you try to interpret the lyrics of Caparezza 😆 in them if you ask why there is that specific word opens a world that hides behind it. Certain texts are truly 360° of content and meanings ... 😆 and he also made such an MV "Compro Horror" (i think should be difficult to you make a reaction on it) . You must know Caparezza is known since more than 15 years , one of his old song that I remember is "Torna catalessi" and you should read the lyrics of every his song before to watch the MV
Yeah, you 're right, The song is talking about what we can afford to do... example "I want to say F***Off to my boss, but I can't do it" (if I don't want to lose by job)
I really appreciate your videos even if not all of them fit my taste in music. However, it is very interesting in my opinion to find out what people think of Italian music abroad. If you haven't already heard it, I recommend Battiato's "Via Lattea" as you like it and Battisti's "Il mio canto libero".
if you want to hear some Rock you should listen "argenti vive" of caparezza. speaks of Dante Alighieri's violent neighbor who answers to his "flame" in the divine comedy
Want to sing a Caparezza song without learning italian? "E' tardi" (It's too late) is written half in english (though tecnically the english half is written and sang by Michael Franti who's featured in the song). It's even from this same album as this one. Otherwise, "Prisoner 709" and "Argenti Vive" are VERY VERY dark, violent and aggressive, both musically and lirically, but at least for the latter I think you should get a wiki research or me doing a resume of the context here since it is a song which basing on a man who really lived centuries ago, depicted in a very famous literature book (I mean, it is considered the most important italian poem ever...) talks about how violent people are seen by society, from the violent point of view. "Prisoner 709" instead is the title track ofthe recorded he wrote after being diagnosed with tinnitus
listen to EROE it's so deep...i'm an italian working class man and when i listen to it i listen how the life for us is hard and we have to keep going straight and be resillient
A very dark and serious song that I can suggest you is "Non siete stato voi", even though it has no official video, you should listen and ready the lyrics of that great song. In Italian "Non siete stati voi" means "it's not your fault". He plays with the fact that on the other hand "stato" means "state" or "government". Considering that, the title becomes "You are not the state". So basically he wants to say that the people who should represent our country are not doing that in the right way, but they keeps on not taking their responsibility.
Exuvia as an album falls within this definition, I think in part also prisoner 702.
Also "argenti vive", the initial tracks of "prisoner 709" album and maybe also "exuvia" is a little dark
my favorite is the live version in the concert for the workers' day on May 1st 2011. capa is particularly inspired and the cry of pain of the electric guitar is creepy
ua-cam.com/video/JSETaGqlIns/v-deo.html
another good one is "una chiave" and also "Larsen"
Yes please! But you should read the lyrics, they are 97% of the value of the song.
putting a serious message in a funky bit is kind of his signature. An example is the song "vieni a ballare in Puglia" (come dance in Puglia). It became like an anthem, everybody dances on it and sings the chorus, but the lyrics are actually devastating (he talks about the political, economical and cultural situation in Puglia, dark stuff like all the people who died because of unsafe work environments)
Also goodbye maliconia
In the song, the verb to dance stands for "to die".
The Al Bano part sets this at the start
In Italian "afford" (permettere) stands also for "allow"(permettere\give permission) so... I can't allow (myself) ho have a tatoo on my face... Why? Because reasons. And so on! That Is how Caparezza expresses more than one meaning at a time. We are free to interpret it all in our own way, experiencing the song differently.
Edit!
When your daughter will(might) have the chance to learn a second language in school, be ready to strongly suggest Italian! ;) So you can learn it together! Would be amazing! ✨🎶✨🎶
the italian feel fast because every "T" "P" "M" "N" is closed sound you need to close the lips to made it, and normally the English rap sound "S" "E" "Z" "B" for base, Caparezza use the alliteration of the "M" and "N" (in this song) that was considered the lament sound in italian
a song more "dark" in music is maybe "Eroe", a masterpiece in my opinion
Yes but he have to read the lyrics in that song
True, but i think you have to be Italian to understand that song
I totally agree!!!!
Hey, i think u missed "Goodbye Malinconia" with Caparezza ft Tony Hadley, and if you have time listen to "Eroe Storia di Luigi delle Bicocche", another Caparezza masterpiece! Ciao!
Mamma mia cosa mi hai ricordato con goodbye maliconia. Che situazione disastrosa che abbiamo ancor oggi
Michele ❤️
"La grande opera" era un grande album, uno dei migliori album Italiani degli ultimi 15 anni secondo me ed io odio il rap
What about "vieni a ballare in Puglia"? 🤔
ua-cam.com/video/EDCHk6JhFzQ/v-deo.html
Incredible lyrics and meaning, especially if you know that "ballare" means "morire" in the song.
First video of yours I see, you actually put effort into reacting, 10/10 content. I love this song because it's very cathartic: yelling about something "shameful" like not being able to afford stuff and keeping up an image.
Thank you so much! So much appreciated ❤️
You should watch the video of "compro horror" the title is an italian joke about "gold shops" in italian called "compro oro" and doing money selling crimes like being horror concept stories and make money out of the misfortune of others. Plus the video is a 360.
Love the way you enjoy music! About Caparezza, did you check "Abiura di me" ?
Edit: oh, you asked for a dark one, then you should check "Argenti Vive". Have a great day!
As far as I know, there are no rappers on this planet that do the stuff that Capa does. Unfortunately only who knows Italian can understand what I mean, he is truly unique, not only for flow, music and delivery but especially for content. Each sentence of the verses usually have 2 meanings which are quite understandable , but sometimes 3 or 4 meanings hidden behind. After so many years I am still quite surprised when his fans managed to find new 'easter eggs' and secret meanings hidden in the lyrics. And most of all, he doesn't talk about money, bitches and guns but all sort of things like politics, art, videogames, movies, society, civil rights, poetry and so on, which shows that he is a nerd with a massive culture. That's why ignorant people usually don't fully appreciate him as they can't understand his depth. If it happens to like pop culture, his has tons of cool songs about it, along my favorite there are: 'Kevin Spacey', 'Abiura di me' and 'Cover'.
In italian "non me lo posso permettere" has got two meanings:
1. I would like to buy a Ferrari, but "non me lo posso permettere" (I can't afford it)
2. I would like to eat everything I want but "non me lo posso permettere" (I can't allow myself to, because I have health issues/I will gain weight).
In this song he plays with the double meaning of this phrase.
Edit. Caparezza means "Head with curly hair"
Try "vieni a ballare in Puglia" too, dark song with very nice lyrics too.
Caparezza is a very intelligent and capable songs writer. Very happy you appreciate him! 😊👍👍👍👍
Non me lo posso permettere literally translate to "i can't afford it" but in a broader sense it's used as "I can't allow myself to have/do smth" and this is the way Caparezza's using it
If you listen to "VIENI A BALLARE IN PUGLIA" by Caparezza, is a very "dark" song but sounds like a "happy ballad".
Unfortunately, also if you translate it, i think is very difficult to understand the meaning cause is full of double meaning.
Anyway.. is a good song.
I suggest you listen to it.
Keep the good job Bro ❤
Caparezza Is difficult for us Italians!
La fitta sassaiola dell’ingiuria… it’s based on a 1800´s text of a Russian poet , it’s one of his first songs and the point of transition of caparrezza to a next level, and remanias maybe one of the more complicated songs and denser of symbolism in Caparezza …
Sorry for bad english, usually i don’t comment , but these series of videos really rocks !
I love it that you got the full sense of the Italian word permettere even if it was translated to afford. It's awesome! You should really try to learn our beautiful language.
I would love for you to react to "Sogno Eretico" and "Kevin Spacey".
"Sogno Eretico" is divided in 3 parts and each one is sang from the POV of one famous historical individual who died due to religious persecution.
While the names are not directly stated, if one has a bit of knowledge on the topic, they might understand who is "talking".
The song's title (which plays a big role in the chorus) means "Eretic Dream", a pun on the concept of an "Erotic Dream".
While you may believe the song to be referring to wet dreams, the word for Dream, in this situation, is used with the meaning of "dreaming while awake", "aspiration", "idol", "Impossible desired outcome".
It's honestly one of my favourite Caparezza songs.
Kevin Spacey (An unfortunate name in recent years) is ... well, a spoiler filled song.
Caparezza literally spoils the ending/big twist of dozens of movies, but he does it in such a great way that it's impossible not to love him.
One of my favorite Caparezza's dark songs is "Larsen", which talks about his sickness, or also "Contro Natura" from his latest album, it has some heavy and dark vibes especially on the music side.
A really dark-sound song by him is Prosopagnosia, the darkest is Minimoog (almost creepy).
All right, Ang! You found the real sense of this song! What we think we can or can't afford stays in reality or only in our thoughts and feelings? Or maybe in both...Who knows? Caparezza honestly hasn't an answer, he only expose a trouble. With his perfect flow!
Stay well Ang!😊👋👋👋
"La Certa" is so deep and dark that sounds more like a poem then a song, out of his style but at the same time it fits him so well.. amazing lyrics about death! Must listen it! MUST read it!
Try with Larsen. About this song Caparezza said "It talksabout my tinnitus, which is a ringing in the ears to the limit of the unbearable. All beautiful things also take something away from you. I have this hearing loss which is the result of my live activity"
Darks songs?
“Vieni a ballare in Puglia!”, ad some already said.
That is the most dark.
He sings about real issues, work death, people killed by mafia, fires, and shit like that. But he sing it on a dance base, funny and enjoyable, referencing the way people react to all those deaths: they ingnore them. Politic hide those situations behind tourism, smiles, sun and sea.
Dark song: Vieni a ballare in Puglia
"Come to dance in Puglia"
Where "dancing" stands for dieing
The depth at which you are able to understand and appreciate our music is really astonishing! You are really an artist understanding other artists at a deep level (i am thinking also about your comments on Fabrizio De André, Vasco etc)
, Caparezza il nostro genio folletto grazie mad per la tua attenzione verso tutti i generi della nostra musica un bacio dall'Italia
I love Capa, and I love that you react to this! I see that you have reacted mainly to his late songs and I think that in a certain point in his career he had a change in his style like on the last 2 or 3 albums. I really recommend you to check some of his early songs, in my opinion he was WAY more political and used to say some really uncomfortable things in his lyrics. Check: "Felici ma trimoni" if you want to listen to him rapping VERY fast, or "Jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo" if you want to listen to a good example of what his style used to be!
Yess "Felici ma trimoni" would blow his mind 🤯😂
10:20 The song is actually based on Irish music. That's because this song was inspired by a work by an Irish painter, Francis Bacon, which was sold for +140 million dollars in 2013, the highest price ever paid for an auctioned artwork.

Caprezza is used to write dark lyrics on song whit happy mood, on of he's most famous song is "vieni a ballare in Puglia" that means "Come to dance in Puglia" (place of south italy) he use the term "dance" like "die", the true means of the song is "Come to die in Puglia" He talks about all the serious problem of this country (Criminal Organizations Included) and how all of that is masked by an "happy", "dancing" vision that most of people have to this country.
I suggest you to listen at "Prosopagnosia" from album "Prisoner 709". It is a very introspective song focusing on the feeling of getting lost, and the awareness of this state of mind, where you don't recognize yourself as you know it. The sound is really dark.
"I wish i knew italian so i could really feel it". Man, Caparezza in Italy is successfull but not huge beacause he is too hard to understand also for us native speakers. His lyrics are cultured and fast, so not evryone is keen to make an effort to undstand it. He knows it and he is happy with it. A couple of times he "missed his target", like "sono fuori dal tunnel" and " vieni a ballare in puglia" he was viral but people misundstanded his lyrics. He is not for everyone
This song is so relatable to everyone, money or not there are things you can't afford no matter how much you want it, is about the balance of interests in your life, you have to make a choice. We are prisoners in the cage we built around us through years.
I think this is my favourite by caparezza. So glad you're descovering him (despite) the different language!!
One of his first greatets hits is "fuori dal tunnel" (out of the tunnel). People thought that it was talking about drugs, but it was about lack of joy in life and boredom
This song was in the Album "Museica". Every song of this album is inspired by a famous painting. This one was inspired by "Three Studies of Lucian freud" by F. Bacon, that was audictioned at 142,4 mln dollars
If you want something darker try "La Certa" from his last album Exuvia. It's definitely one of his best songs, talks about life and death in a very unique way.
In general, society and of course lyrics, in italy is much less money-driven than us. I think that "non me lo posso permettere" here it is use as: I can not loose face so i can't do it.
FELICI MATRIMONI - CAPAREZZA... enjoy MadAng! 💪🏻
Thanks 4 your videos
In this song he plays on the double meaning of the verb "permettere" (it means both "afford" and "allow"). The verse in which he says "as a doctor I can't get a tattoo on my face, I can't afford it", he indeed means "I'm not allowed to" because a doctor is not socially allowed to get a tattoo on his face. I don't know how things work there in the USA but here in Italy a doctor with tattoos is seen as less reliable.
Along the whole song he plays with this dual meaning making a complaint about the situation in Italy: "tonight I won't get out for dinner: I can't afford it" (I'm poor I can't afford a leisure night) but also "annuity like the senators: I'm not allowed to (have it)" (the ones that take decisions ask for sacrifices to us but not intend to do sacrifices themselves).
You asked for a dark sounding song by Caparezza. Try with "Eroe (storia di Luigi delle Bicocche)".
This song sounds sad and in fact the lyrics are about a worker making sacrifices to let his family have a worthy life.
a dark song of Caparezza is Prisoner 709 (this song gives the name at one of his albums), it's metal and talks about how he is a prisoner of his own world (7 are the letters of his name Michele, 9 are the letters of his art name Caparezza, that's why he is the Prisoner 709)
If you desire to keep-track of how it Flows... there is TESTE DI MODI from Caparezza, that is actually a Lyric-Video
Yoh man, very nice to see you keep your knowledge's travel in to the world of Italian music. I have a suggestioni for you that i think you will not regret to follow. I saw you have discovered Mia Martini and Antonella Ruggero and Elisa, great artists and voices, but you miss another great great Italian female voice...she is Giuni Russo, one of the top voice of Italian music that sadly have leaved us too soon. You can start with the song "gabbiano" or "la sposa" singed with a chorus of nuns or "i ragazzi del sole". You have to listen to her cause she is absolutely one of the gems of Italian voices. Peace.
Oh man with caparezza you can open a whole section on your channel, so many great songs. I wish you could speak italian just so you could get the level of his bars and lyrics
Kevin Spacey is a very funny song of Caparezza
How many things we don't do because the judgment of others and prejudice prevent us? Caparezza one of the best!
Mad Ang you are the Best
Il pensiero filosofico che aparezza trasmette con la sua musica è puro e trasparente
Another masterpiece of Capa.. He's making fun of a phrase very common in iItaly, in particular the more richer the people is, the more they make a sad face and said they can afford it this and that (for ex. many big company said this to not improve the safety and salary of their employees, and even beg the govern to have aid money, and often they discover that the tax declaration are false and they have a lot of money) He also imitating politics debate, when they said at people that the govern is bad because they don't give them the money for school and medical shit, so they can't afford it for their citizen... If you want some dark song of Capa I suggest Argenti vive and Prisoner 709
You have to listen Prosopagmosia, is so deep and dark
I believe that one of caparezza darkest song is "Larsen". In this song he talks about his very serious hearing condition, I believe it's transaleted in english as tinnitus, but I don't know if it's the correct medical translation. In that song he sings about the struggle between the condition affecting him daily, the motivations to keep going on, and the almost suicidal drive that pushes him because of the lack of litteral silence in his head due to the hisses and noises this sickness gives him and how that affects his private and public life and carreer
Darkest songs of Caparezza are "Eroe storia di Luigi delle bicocche", "Larsen" or "La Certa"
Like the backdrop you have, really coming a long nicely man
Once again: "Argenti vive" is dark and "non siete stato voi" too...really beautiful, really dark
A very dark song by Caparezza is "Una chiave", which is about (up to interpretation) depression.
If you like Caparezza, you should listen his album Verità Supposte.. Amazing songs like "Vengo dalla luna" or "jodellavitanonhocapitouncazzo" and others more..
If I can suggest something totally different - "Elio e Le Storie Tese - Complesso del primo Maggio". They are known for comedy-non-sense lyric, but also has some of the most talented musicians in Italy
You can react to: Caparezza & Tony Hadley - Goodbye Malinconia ..this is an amazing duo song!
In the video Caparezza takes the politician persona (notice him stealing the bread at the end). The hammer scene I think it's more about the justice sistem than an auction.
"Prosopagnosia", "Prisoner 709" and "La Certa" are the darkest and more gloomy songs I can think of atm in terms of music and lyrics, from his music. Even his voice sounds different.
His second to last album "Prisoner 709" is generally more melancholic compared to the music he has made in the past. Also his latest album "Exuvia" revolves around very deep and more personal themes. And the music reflects that.
Love your reactions *thumbs up* Hugs and wish you a great day Ang!
react to Frankie Hi Nrg - quelli che benpensano . ("those who right-think well") probably best italian rap song ever.
Some dark songs by Caparezza : "la fitta sassaiola dell'ingiuria" "eroe" "non siete stato voi" "china Town" "la certa"
I requested this song in a comment.
I didn't buy you a coffee because I can't afford it 😂😂😂
Another song like this is " Caparezza - Sono un eroe" ( I'm a Hero )
Three songs from Caparezza: "Fuori dal tunnel" (out of tunnel), "Gli arbitri ti picchiano" (the referees beat you) and "Vieni a ballare in puglia" (Come to dance in Puglia)
You should try "LA CERTA" from the last album Exuvia. That's really deep
grande capa ♥♥♥
Ang try "Goodbye melancolia" from caparezza feat tom hadley, it's my favorite song from him as it's the song I listened when I decided to go away from Italy, it's about the melancholy of leaving.
And "Eroe" reminds of my father a lot, talks about a poor carpenteer destroyed by life, but still fighting to give an honest life to his family, he's the actual hero for protecting his family.
If you want something darker, try “Non siete stato voi”, a song about the abuses politicians and the like made to our beautiful country. A tear comes up every time a listen to it.
Caparezza is a f4ck1n6 genius
If you want a metal song from caparezza check "Argenti vive"
You have already listen “agenti vive”? Is a piece with a metal music structure by caparezza, that talk about an enemy of Dante Alighieri, writer of the divne comedy.
The Maneskin did a cover of Caparezza.
"Vengo Dalla Luna" by Caparezza.
I recommend that you listen to these artists:
Delta V. - Il mondo visto dallo spazio
Delta V. - Se telefonando (cover by Mina)
Antonella Ruggiero (ex Matia Bazar)- Amore Lontanissimo
Antonella Ruggiero & Subsonica - Per Un Ora D'amore
Subsonica (with Daniele Silvestri) - Liberi Tutti
Subsonica - Colpo Di Pistola
Neffa - Il Mondo Nuovo
Neffa - Lontano Dal Tuo Sole
Matia Bazar - Elettrochoc
24 Grana - Stai mai cca
24 Grana - La costanza
99Posse - Spara
Capa's got a lot of darker song, but i feel like one of his recent instrospective works that hits real hard is Larsen. Damn that thing gets you when you realize how it feels like having tinnitus
If you like fast rapping you should listen to "felici ma trimoni" from Caparezza. Is one of the fastest italian rap songs
Please react to "vieni a ballare in puglia" too
Love these Capa videos. You'd try Eroe,, Goodbye Malinconia, Argenti Vive, Confusianesimo, Compro Horror !!! You'll also enjoy Prisoner 709!
Don't miss "Filippo argenti" or "Prisoner 709" by Capa, they have an epic rock touch!
La prossima volta che fai una altra reaction su Caparezza, ti consiglio il brano Teste di Modì! Un saluto dall'Italia
PLEASE MAN, Listen “Cover” from Caparezza, it’s beautiful and i think will be perfect for your tastes in music and for the lyrics!!
He talks about all his influences, it’s so freaking special.
Please, PLEASE, do it!
'Eroe' and 'Vengo dalla luna' other two Capa's masterpieces ❤️
You should listen "Goobye malinconia and "Non siete Stato voi". Two very dark Caparezza's songs!!
Those sounds are Irish but....if you want to be surprised look for "ciaramelle" "zampogne" (central Italy) and the oldest of them all "Launeddas" (Sardinia). Have fun!
If you want a darker caparezza song you should try: Eroe ( Storia di Luigi Delle Bicocche )
Realy dark "sound" of caparezza... "Argenti vive" from museica album speaking about this violent guy that is was put in hell by Dante the autor of "la divina commedia" , "La certa" from his Last album exuvia this one speak about death itself and the fear that all we have in front of death being all the same and how great full we are should be because without the fear of death he wouldn't do nothing that he did till now, Contronatura Also from his Last album talking about mother nature how beautiful and at the same deadly it is. Unfortunatly the last 2 songs don't have videos. But they are the darkest songs that i remenber of caparezza.
Caparezza song,Argenti vive,Prisioner 709,una chiave.
If you like fast rapping you should listen to Argenti vive, also by Caparezza. Sure someone else already suggested it
To all of you guys: please stop suggesting the worst songs of this Master of Ceremonies xD. Caparezza is a mix between Frank Zappa, Eminem and Franco Battiato, and as such, these songs just scratch the surface.
To Mad Ang: I highly recommend one between "Cammina Solo", "La Fitta Sassaiola dell'ingiuria", "Nessuna Razza", "Vieni A Ballare In Puglia", "Non Siete Stato Voi", "Eroe", "Fugadà" and "Il Mondo Dopo Lewis Carroll". With an eye focused on the lyrics. That's It. Love your show, Peace
Ang i love you because you try to interpret the lyrics of Caparezza 😆 in them if you ask why there is that specific word opens a world that hides behind it. Certain texts are truly 360° of content and meanings ... 😆 and he also made such an MV "Compro Horror" (i think should be difficult to you make a reaction on it) . You must know Caparezza is known since more than 15 years , one of his old song that I remember is "Torna catalessi" and you should read the lyrics of every his song before to watch the MV
Some dark song from Caparezza? Try "Una Chiave" (A key), "Sono un eroe" ( I am an hero), or "Il Sogno Eretico" (The Heretic Dream)
Yeah, you 're right, The song is talking about what we can afford to do... example "I want to say F***Off to my boss, but I can't do it" (if I don't want to lose by job)
A dark song by Caparezza is "Torna Catalessi"
Incredibly You read my mind today I was wondering if you would ever do this song. We can't afford so many different things Angelo!!!
I really appreciate your videos even if not all of them fit my taste in music. However, it is very interesting in my opinion to find out what people think of Italian music abroad. If you haven't already heard it, I recommend Battiato's "Via Lattea" as you like it and Battisti's "Il mio canto libero".
Caparezza "Io diventerò qualcuno".
"El sendero" è uscito quest'anno. Is very good!!!!❤
"Torna catalessi" absolutely ...Caparezza
Grande Caparezza
if you want to hear some Rock you should listen "argenti vive" of caparezza.
speaks of Dante Alighieri's violent neighbor who answers to his "flame" in the divine comedy
Want to sing a Caparezza song without learning italian? "E' tardi" (It's too late) is written half in english (though tecnically the english half is written and sang by Michael Franti who's featured in the song). It's even from this same album as this one. Otherwise, "Prisoner 709" and "Argenti Vive" are VERY VERY dark, violent and aggressive, both musically and lirically, but at least for the latter I think you should get a wiki research or me doing a resume of the context here since it is a song which basing on a man who really lived centuries ago, depicted in a very famous literature book (I mean, it is considered the most important italian poem ever...) talks about how violent people are seen by society, from the violent point of view. "Prisoner 709" instead is the title track ofthe recorded he wrote after being diagnosed with tinnitus
Capariiiissszzzaaaaaa!
listen to EROE it's so deep...i'm an italian working class man and when i listen to it i listen how the life for us is hard and we have to keep going straight and be resillient
