Il Bataclan, lo storico locale parigino che il 13 novembre 2015 fu teatro di una strage causata da un gruppo di terroristi estremisti che uccisero 90 fra le persone accorse per un concerto, ha appena riaperto solennemente – con un live di Sting. Fra le commosse celebrazioni e i ricordi della strage, segnati anche dalla volontà di non cedere al terrorismo e di fare in modo che la musica vinca comunque, giunge anche quello di Zucchero.
Il cantante Emiliano ha infatti condiviso il video ufficiale del suo brano “Streets of Surrender (S.O.S.)”, le cui parole sono state scritte nientemeno che da Bono Vox degli U2 – grande amico di Fornaciari. Il testo della canzone, come ha spiegato l’artista, è proprio ispirato ai fatti del Bataclan.
Ecco il clip:
Questo, invece, è il testo firmato dal cantante degli U2:
Every man has got two cities he needs to be
The one he can touch and the one he can’t see
The one where a stranger’s a friend
Everyman has got one city of liberty
For me it’s Paris, I love it
Every time I try to lose myself
I seem to find these streets of surrender
You’re free baby, baby
Free now and forever
It’s Christmas time you can decide
To forget or to remember
You’re free baby, baby
I didn’t come down here to fight you
I came here down these streets
Of love and pride to surrender
The streets of surrender
Of surrender
I heard the oldest story that nobody seems to know
I think it was about that stranger
It was youth and love and it was danger
It was winter but that warm it gets before the snow
It froze my soul
I’m crying, crying ‘bout some kid that they found
Lying on a beach, born in a manger
You’re free baby, baby
Free now and forever
It’s Christmas time you can decide
To forget or to remember
You’re free baby, baby
I didn’t come down here to fight you
I came here down these streets
Of love and pride to surrender
The streets of surrender
I live in the stories that are told
In the child you chose to hold
And the ones you turn away
To be free baby, baby
Free now and forever
This vale of tears will disappear
And it’s love you will remember
You’re free baby, baby
I didn’t come down here to fight you
I came here down these streets
Of love and pride to surrender
The streets of surrender
The streets of surrender
