I had some friends that attended the Marostica concert, not ilvolovers (as we know), but people that like good music and also like the art of Il Volo. They shared with me their impressions and it was one of the reasons why my review was so … Live 🙂 Thank you to all friends that like what I wrote and say this to me. This feed back keep me writing, you can bet on it.

One of this friends was not there on Piazza degli Scacchi, but was near enough to hear all the concert, and he told me about the emotion that cross the air. Not only the sound of Il Volo, but the sound of the audience as well. He said that almost you can feel the people stoping to breath together for then a long sigh precedes the thunderous applause. Sometime, when you cannot see, you can feel better.

The opposite is also true: sometime when you see all in front of you, you cannot feel or understand what you are seeing. I am telling this to warn ourselves that our senses are not independent of our feelings, of our concepts and prejudices. Most of the time we feel or see what we want or what we are prepared to feel or see.

And among what we see and what we know we are not seeing (or feeling) the great question is separate what is important from  what is dust in the wind. If it is true to life, it is also true when you have to decide what matters to publish about Il Volo here. ‘All’, said the huge fans that love our ‘dailies’. But to build a site is not as easy as to share short texts and photos on facebook (as we also did on our facebook page) and we have to do choices. Although, what is today on facebook, tomorrow goes to a ‘limbo’ along with other things that facebook determine that are not important (for its business, of course).

As I had said some posts ago, things will change here and we are still thinking about it. Maybe we will not have here exactly ‘all about Il Volo’ all the time, when needed we will chose ‘the better about Il Volo’ and, mainly, ‘what matter about Il Volo’. We are not a short term publication that seeks attention at all costs, we think about the future. Where ten years from now will Il Volo find information about his career, in detail, with correct sources, with editorial care? If facebook (this is probable, remember Orkut, Ning, …) or even the internet does not exist anymore, this site still can be a book.

Then we can put in real dimensions a lot of things. 🙂
