Ho visto lacrime mischiate con macerie, bombe e fumo
E due mani impolverate supplicare un altro uomo
Fa’ che non sia il mio quel nome impresso
Sopra il freddo marmo di un museo
Ed ho visto sparare soldati per paura di morire
Madri piangere figli feriti senza dei da maledire
Ordini di un dio seduto al tavolo
Di qualche banca d’oltremare
E niente è più uguale per me
E niente è normale per me
Ho visto uomini piangere i morti purché restino lontani
Ed odiare quegli altri risorti perché ormai troppo vicini
Scappino da lì a patto che non vengano a bussare proprio qui
Ed ho visto bambini soldato marciare in silenzio al tramonto
Quello sguardo di ghiaccio annerito scavarti nel profondo
Orfani di un dio che porta
L’apocalisse chiamandola democrazia
E niente è più uguale per me
E niente è normale per me
Per me non è normale giustificare la follia
Non è normale dire sempre tanto non è colpa mia
Non è normale mettersi le mani sopra gli occhi
E fare finta che il problema non ci tocchi
Non è normale manipolare la realtà
Che una bugia se ripetuta poi diventi verità
Non è normale che usiate anche il mio nome
Andando in giro per il mondo ad esportare il nostro errore
Ho visto ipocrite statue in memoria di ragazzi senza volto
E governanti passati alla storia senza aver pagato il conto
Ma in nome di che dio avete calpestato vite come foglie
Non in nome mio non certo in nome mio
Gianpaolo Pace is an Italian singer-songwriter and musician born in Turin on September 18, 1983. His passion for music began in childhood: at six years old he started playing the piano, then the accordion at twelve and finally the guitar at nineteen, following a growing need to write songs. In June 2017, he closed the "Piemonte Pride" event with his unpublished songs, accompanying the presentation of Pierpaolo Mandetta's book "Tell it to Mom". In 2018, he released his first official album, "Since You're Gone", containing the single "Your Words", finalist for the Lunezia Prize 2019. Alongside his musical career, he also dedicates himself to acting and voice-over work, lending his voice to animated films, TV series, films and documentaries for major national broadcasters and streaming platforms. In 2022, he released the single "Excluded Present", opening track of the eponymous album that allows him to sign a record deal with the Milanese label PaKo Music Records. The album, an intergenerational journey in 11 stages, tells through vivid snapshots the decline of human behavior, increasingly inclined towards individualism, reaffirming Gianpaolo Pace's eclectic and transversal attitude, an artist capable of ranging with class and elegance from pop to rock, passing through electronic, folk, jazz and reggae.
