Emma’s monologue for dad Rosario and for all those we miss

Emma she started touring again in the best possible way. At the historic Vox Club on the outskirts of Modena, the singer put on a great show, simply bringing herself (here is our story). At a certain point, halfway through the show, Emma wanted to stop to remember her father, who passed away last year, and all the people we miss. An intense monologuewhich we want to propose again here:

«I miss my super hero, I miss the person who brought me into the world and who put me on stage. When he left I said “and now, what do I do?”, Whoever tells me “go ahead don’t think about the insults”, fight. SI wanted to come back immediately perhaps also for this reason, because I didn’t want to waste time, I didn’t want his absence to become something destructive, I didn’t want it to become a reason not to make music, in fact I made more, I did what I could with what I had, I made this record. I did it because I’m not alone, because many people have lost someone, their point of reference, and today I’m on stage for them too.

I feel like I was just born, and as if I had never been on this stage before, as if I wasn’t me, because I miss him. It’s like I’m starting from scratch: I miss seeing him around the dressing rooms, seeing him around with my band. But going on stage is one of the few things that is somewhat good for me in life. And I want to do it so as not to waste even a second, to show my father that he can be proud of me.”

Emma Marrone: «My father’s death changed me»
After four years, Emma returns with Souvenirs, a less «angry» album that was born from the «worst period of my life», after the death of my father: «I lost my super hero. But we get up from the pain.” And also containing reflections on love: “Why do we have to justify ourselves if we earn more than men?”

Emma dedicated it to him, who passed away in September 2022 due to leukemia Interval, song from the new album Souvenirs.
