To this day, the song is considered Masini\u2019s breakthrough and one of the most intense debuts in Italian pop history.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div style=\"border: 1px solid #f1f1f1; padding: 15px;\">\n<h4>Profile<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Artist:<\/strong> Marco Masini (born in Florence in 1964)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Published:<\/strong> 1990, on the debut album *Marco Masini* (Ricordi)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lyrics \/ Music:<\/strong> Marco Masini, Giancarlo Bigazzi, and Giuseppe \u201eBeppe\u201c Dati<\/li>\n<li><strong>Genre:<\/strong> Rock ballad with gospel influences<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special features:<\/strong> Winner of the Newcomer Category at the 1990 Sanremo Festival, including the Critics' Award<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_Geschichte_hinter_dem_Lied\"><\/span>The Story Behind the Song<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Marco Masini, born in 1964 in <strong>Florence<\/strong>, grew up surrounded by music: his mother was a pianist; he had a toy piano at age three; and he wanted to play himself from an early age. He dropped out of school at 16, which caused conflict at home\u2014years that later gave rise to the pent-up anger expressed in his songs. The producer and songwriter became the key figure who opened doors for him <strong>Giancarlo Bigazzi<\/strong>, who had already worked with big names like Umberto Tozzi and Raf and took Masini under his wing.<\/p>\n<p>Together with Bigazzi and <strong>Giuseppe \u201eBeppe\u201c Dati<\/strong> Masini wrote \u00abDisperato\u00bb and entered it in the Newcomer category at the 40th Sanremo Festival in 1990. The song was a hit there: Masini won the Newcomer category and, on top of that, the <strong>Critics' Award<\/strong>. Among the established stars, the Pooh won that year with \u00abUomini soli\u00bb; but the real talk of the town was the young man from Florence with the somber song.<\/p>\n<p>The success continued well beyond the festival. As a single, \u00abDisperato\u00bb climbed as high as <strong>6th place<\/strong> and remained in the Top 20 for over seven months\u2014from March to October 1990. In the Italian year-end charts, the song reached number 10. The debut album of the same name, *Marco Masini*, cemented the singer\u2019s reputation and laid the foundation for a career that continues to this day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABDisperato%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abDisperato\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abDisperato\u00bb\u2014literally \u201edesperate\u201c\u2014is the portrait of a young man at rock bottom. A love has ended, and all that remains is a tangled web of anger, guilt, and emptiness. The narrator endures a night with no way out and tries to fill the inner void with dubious means\u2014only to realize that it doesn\u2019t get him any further.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the song so haunting is the intensity with which Masini sings of this hopelessness: a rock ballad with gospel undertones, sung in a solemn tone and then almost screaming. Instead of indulging in self-pity, \u00abDisperato\u00bb lays bare the raw nerve of youthful despair\u2014so directly that tens of thousands immediately recognized themselves in it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Songtext_Bedeutung\"><\/span>Lyrics &amp; Meaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because the text is protected by copyright, we will not reproduce the verses line by line here, but will explain their imagery and meaning in general terms.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Beginning<\/strong> throws you right into the middle of a sleepless night: The narrator is alone, distraught, unable to find peace. Everything revolves around a lost love and the question of how things could have come to this in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Chorus<\/strong> The title word comes across like a cry: \u201edisperato\u201c\u2014desperate. It is less a description than a state into which the singer works himself up until the word itself becomes an outlet.<\/p>\n<p>One <strong>prominent spot<\/strong> shows how the narrator turns to drugs to numb the pain for a few hours\u2014and how futile this attempt to escape ultimately is. It was precisely these images that caused a stir at the festival (more on that below).<\/p>\n<p>To put it in my own words, \u00abDisperato\u00bb tells the story of a person who hits rock bottom and yet, caught between anger and exhaustion, still reaches for a glimmer of hope. The despair is real\u2014but it\u2019s voiced, and that alone is a first step toward recovery.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABDisperato%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abDisperato\u00bb on video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Above, you can see <strong>\u00abDisperato\u00bb by Marco Masini<\/strong> in an official live recording that really brings out all the drama of the song\u2014the quiet verse, the explosive chorus, the raw voice.<\/p>\n<p>The historic moment of 1990 takes on yet another dimension: The following video shows <strong>\u00abDisperato\u00bb performed live by Marco Masini at the 1990 Sanremo Festival<\/strong> \u2013 that performance that started it all and for which he had to tone down a few lines of the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-align-left\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe title=\"Sanremo 1990 \/ Marco Masini - Disperato HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xfYcWibMG80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>\u00abYou can also stream \u00bbDisperato\u201d\u2014for example, on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/search\/Marco%20Masini%20Disperato\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/search?term=Marco+Masini+Disperato\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Das_macht_den_Song_besonders\"><\/span>That's what makes this song special<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Censorship at the festival:<\/strong> Parts of the lyrics openly alluded to drug use.

In 1990, a 25-year-old took the stage at the country\u2019s biggest venue and sang about despair with such honesty that countless people recognized it as their own. The scandal surrounding the toned-down lyrics and his double victory at Sanremo turned an unknown artist into one of the most distinctive voices in Italian pop overnight.
