Mirtilla Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ok, this was supposed to be a kind of news but thought it might fit better in here. So, there's this "upcoming" Italian songwriter who's just released his first single, and he's a fan of Mika and he even mentions him in this song (named "QDM Qualcosa Dentro Me"). Here's the article: http://www.myspace.com/simonequagliatasounds Cuneo: 'QDM' singolo d'esordio per Simone Quagliata Dopo anni di gavetta e speranza, finalmente arriva il singolo d’esordio di Simone Quagliata, il cantautore ventiduenne di Cuneo. S’intitola 'Qdm (Qualcosa dentro me)', scritto e composto dallo stesso Simone. Gli arrangiamenti del brano sono stati realizzati da uno studio di Taranto, dall’arrangiatore Vito Astone il quale ha sostenuto da subito il progetto del giovane cantante. La copertina del singolo è stata invece realizzata dallo studio grafico di Cuneo del giovane Danilo Sanino che sin da subito ha deciso di sostenere e credere nel progetto del giovane cantante. “Con le mie melodie e i miei testi in tasca - commenta Simone - uniti alla passione per la recitazione e a quella per la scrittura, mi sono incamminato da tempo alla ricerca di un produttore o una casa discografica che creda nel mio sogno. Ed ecco così il mio singolo d'esordio che s’intitola 'QdM (Qualcosa dentro me)'. Questo brano nasce come sorta di 'rivincita' verso quei produttori che mi hanno chiesto in passato delle somme spropositate di denaro per fare musica. Dedicato ad una persona che stimo ed ammiro: al grande Mika (citato nel testo della canzone), perché la sua musica e il suo magico mondo colorato, hanno saputo aiutarmi in tanti momenti difficili”.* È possibile, scaricare gratuitamente la canzone su internet attraverso http://www.simonequagliata.it. Reduce dal successo dei concerti che si sono tenuti a Luglio in Via Roma a Cuneo al caffè Ruffino, Simone sarà ospite del comico Enrico Ocir il 27 settembre al Palatenda di Fossano e il 13 dicembre al Teatro Toselli di Cuneo. Nel mese di ottobre, inoltre, sarà possibile assistere a nuovi show in occasione della “Fiera del Marrone” in Via Roma presso il Bar Ruffino. Le date ufficiali saranno presto comunicate sul sito internet del cantante. Ginevra Crivaro http://www.targatocn.it/it/internal.php?news_code=53545 And in his myspace (other than many familiar elements:naughty:) there's a little explanation of the song: QDM (Qualcosa dentro me) Questo brano nasce come sorta di “rivincita” verso quei produttori che mi hanno chiesto in passato delle somme spropositate di denaro per fare musica. Dedicato ad una persona che stimo ed ammiro: al grande Mika (citato nel testo della canzone), perché la sua musica e il suo magico mondo colorato, hanno saputo aiutarmi in tanti momenti difficili. Le mie canzoni racchiudono sonorità limpide e suggestive, come le persone che ho amato. Una musica aperta, come le storie che ho vissuto. Pensieri profondi, ma anche spensierati, come le avventure esistenziali di un ragazzo qualunque. *This song is a sort of "revenge" towards all those music companies (familiar, uh?)who asked me for such a huge amount of money in order to make music. Dedicated to someone I estimate and admire: the great Mika (whose name appears in the lyrics), because his music and his magical colorful world helped me during hard times. My songs are made of clear and suggestive sounds, just like the people I loved. An open music, as the stories I lived. Deep but also lighthearted thoughts, like a normal guy's life.

I'm downloading QdM, it'll be nice to have some new Italian music to listen to, and it sounds like I'll definitely like this song And I'm glad to see that there's someone in Italy who appreciates a good cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeve272 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I've kinda become obsessed with this song So I've been trying to figure out the lyrics and this is what I've come up with: _________ forte il telefono per me puo stare sempre silenzioso cuanto vuole Ma per che (x3) Puo essere rappia o stupore Non c’e nessuno che mi vuole Ma io sento che Qualcosa c’e dentro me Mi chiamavano Billy perche _______________________________ e anche ________ Mi consolavano (?) amici Ma non volavo (?) crescere per niente Puo essere rappia o stupore Non (?) c’e qualcuno che mi vuole Ma io sento che Qualcosa c’e dentro me Ci sei te (?)

Mirtilla Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I've kinda become obsessed with this song So I've been trying to figure out the lyrics and this is what I've come up with: Wait: do you speak italian? I know it might sound similar to Spanish but, as for me I really can't get a word of spanish:naughty: This is what i came up to, there are still a few bits (the ones in red) I'm not sure of.. Il sonno è forte, il telefono per me può stare sempre silenzioso quanto vuole Ma perchè (x3) Forse rabbia o stupore Non c’è nessuno che mi vuole Ma io sento che Qualcosa c’è dentro me Mi chiamavano Billy perchè Denise rida e anche Desirè Mi consolavano gli amici Ma non volevo crescere per niente Forse rabbia o stupore C’è qualcuno che mi vuole Perchè io sento che Qualcosa c’è dentro me Ci sei te, La mia musica che suona Che vola via nel presente Dentro al buio in camera Dove tutti i miei piensieri Sono scritti sopra a un muro Che non vuole cancellare nè soffrire Ma cantare e sbatte forte dentro me Non so dirti che cos'è Ma c’è, c’è qualcosa dentro me E c’era un grande produttore, chiese a me E cosa faccio, cosa canto e perchè Con simpatia gli dissi che ascoltavo te E poi confuso con lo sguardo intimorito per nascondermi, per difendermi. Mi disse allora che se soldi io non ho sicuramente il successo non avrò Ma io testardo dissi "Sì" per non arrendermi. E questa rabbia che ora provo io per lui, mi dice "Corri, dai Simone ce la fai" Consapevole che.. Che sei te la mia musica che suona, che vola via nel presente dentro al buio in camera Dove tutti i miei piensieri Sono scritti sopra a un muro Che non vuole cancellare nè soffrire Ma cantare e sbatte forte dentro me C'è uno spiritello che non so dirti che cos'è ma c'è, c'è qualcosa dentro me. vuol sapere in più di me, vuole uscire _______ dai miei occhi vuol vedere con la mia voce vuol cantare questo ritornello che, che c'è.. C'è Mika dentro me..parappapapa... Che c'è...... Nezza, what do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks!! I really love this song! Well, I studied Italian for just a year when I was living in Spain, but I haven't practised it for almost 3 years....so I can say the basics, I can understand more than I can say, and I can understand quite a lot when I read it Yeah, I've heard that it's much easier for Spanish speakers to understand Italian than it is for Italian speakers to understand Spanish!

Nezza Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 You're asking me Mirtilla? I really can't make out the last missing bit, but the rest of the red bits sound right to me! I've only studied a little bit of Spanish, and forgotten nearly all of it I had a few Spanish friends when I studied in Italy for a year, and I found that it was always easier to understand them speaking Spanish after a few drinks They said too that they thought it'd be easier for them to understand Italian than for Italians to understand Spanish.

Yeah, I find that really interesting...it's a similar situation with Portuguese: it's easier for Portuguese speakers to understand Spanish than vice versa....I think it has something to do with how far the language has diverged from Latin...but that's just my opinion! (sorry, waaay off topic, lol) wwow...that's really Mika-ish i like it... but i do think it's a bit too much inspired from Mika. I know what you mean...it's VERY Mika....but at least he credits Mika with it..but still, even the artwork is Mika-esque.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I like his voice and all, but honestly...it's all too Mika-ish. Mika is great, and I'm happy to see that are new artist inspired in his work, but...I dunno, this looks a bit more than just inspiration! Anyway, he has a cool voice.

IngievV Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 simonequagliata sounds? Sounds familiar, the sounds:naughty: That even has Mika on it:roftl: "Some people compare me with Mika and this is fantastic! But I'm Simone! " No sh*t:naughty: He even nicked the tree drawing of Mika's page His influences: "Think Beck via Queen, Elton John and Mika." Mika's influences: "Think Beck via Queen and Elton John and a touch of Rufus W." So yeah, his voice is not bad but he tries to copy Mika way too much. He copied almost everything that made Mika unique, and I like people who are unique so no Simone for me:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he's trying to be successfull using elements that made Mika what he is now... His whole Myspace page, artwork, even the "sounds" thing in the page address is way too similar to Mika's.

Mary Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Uhhh... yaa.... I wonder if he was also bullied in his childhood and took time off of school to work with a Russian music teacher. And familiar images on this guy's myspace page: And this - on his album cover?? Crossing the line there IMO. Nice that he at least admits how influenced he is by Mika, but the MySpace page is a bit much. Not concerned though... his talent doesn't come anywhere close. "A bit" too much...
