QUARANTINE TRACKS

Sono tempi duri questi; tempi duri e tristi.
L'emergenza della pandemia mondiale relativa al nuovo virus denominato Covid-19 ci ha costretti a modificare radicalmente il nostro stile di vita e, da un paio di settimane oramai, siamo completamente chiusi all'interno delle nostre abitazioni e possiamo uscire solo per le attività strettamente necessarie, come mangiare, acquisto dei medicinali e provvedere alle varie faccende da sbrigare negli uffici preposti.
Per carità, niente di paragonabile, come purtroppo ho letto da qualche parte, ad una guerra mondiale; li ricordo bene i racconti dei miei Nonni e dei miei Genitori, in quel caso cadevano le bombe e non c'era da mangiare, mentre qui fortunatamente la nostra è una reclusione si ma comprensiva di tutti i confort di cui disponiamo.
Chi è, come me e come ovviamente tutti voi che mi leggete, appassionato di musica, può dare sfogo in questi giorni a continui ascolti, riscoprendo gemme che aveva dimenticato e scoprendone di nuove.

In questi giorni ho avuto un'idea che, in breve, ho messo in pratica.
Come sapete ho la fortuna di lavorare praticamente da sempre, pur in un ruolo marginale, nel mondo della musica e di conoscere un sacco di musicisti, promoters, organizzatori ed addetti ai lavori; bene, ho dunque chiesto ad alcuni di loro una piccola lista di 10-15 canzoni che sono state importanti per loro, non le più belle ma quelle significative, quelle che gli hanno lasciato dentro qualcosa, che sono state importanti per la loro crescita musicale o che semplicemente risvegliano un ricordo particolare in loro, così da far emergere le loro personalità, i loro gusti ed i loro stati d'animo ed il loro background.
Ho poi fatto una playlist su Spotify.
Ascoltatela, scoprirete alcuni brani che magari non conoscevate o che semplicemente avevate dimenticato.
Mi scuso se alcuni brani indicati, pochi in verità, non sono presenti ma solo e semplicemente perchè questi brani non sono su Spotify.
Queste sono le loro scelte, compresa la mia:
