A few seconds of what appeared to be a first draft of the song “When you miss your breath” with which Gianluca Grignani competes in Sanremo 2023 landed on the internet. The website mowmag publishes a very short video in which you can hear the incipit of the second verse of the song dedicated to the singer’s relationship with his father: “My father was one of many / but he was my hero when he smiled at me me”. In the video, the verse continues with the words “I remember it well”, while in the final version, presented in the Ariston, these words are preceded by another sentence (“we still lived together”).
The site claims the video is “from a recent Facebook Live broadcast by literary critic Gian Paolo Serino,” who allegedly “contributed” to one of the play’s drafts. Even if the only authors who appear in the credits of the song presented at the festival are Gianluca Grignani and Enrico Melozzi. In any case, from what can be seen on the site in question, it is unlikely that this spoiler could cause problems for Grignani’s participation in the festival, given the film’s brevity, the mismatch with the song that competes at the Ariston and the various precedents of “spoilers” that have appeared in recent years (among recent Fedez-Michielin and Gianni Morandi) that have never resulted in elimination.
RAI SOURCES – Gianluca Grignani remains in the running in Sanremo. According to what Adnkronos learns from Rai sources close to the organization of the festival, the spoiler of very few seconds of a first draft of the song “When you miss yourBreath” with which the singer competes in Sanremo does not affect the line of the festival the artist’s participation in the festival. The case was therefore opened and closed in a few hours.
