“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a project full of rock and poetic songs, above all the wonderful “Milan with the plague”
Genoa – «“Love your neighbor as yourself” it is one of the maxims most tied to common sense, and at the same time most revolutionary, that have ever existed. Ancient and dramatically contemporary words. Words never really worn out. On the cover of the record there is my face, for the first time, burning. As if to say: if you love yourself in this way, it is better that you do not push yourself to love your neighbor too ».
Manuel Agnelli, voice of Afterhours, with whom in over thirty years he has made the history of rock music, he presents his first solo album “Love your neighbor as yourself”, out on Friday 30 September with words, but also with music. He does it on the stage of the Filodrammatici theater in Milan playing live some of the most representative pieces of the project including the wonderful “Milan with the plague”. “It’s about a relationship lived in a city made surreal by Covid and the lockdown – says Agnelli – where people go around with their faces covered by masks that even become allegorical and that, even if they hide their faces, leave their eyes uncovered. truer.
The song tells of a relationship that, even if real, it is never completely realized but that, precisely because it never existed, it remains forever. It cannot be consumed, it cannot end. It is also a passage about hope, about a hope that can be redeeming ». Agnelli, in the video interview with Secolo XIX, talks about the meaning of this album, what animates it and goes as far as to comment on the path of the Maneskin of which he was the discoverer and mentor. But what does this first solo project represent in your path? “A great act of freedom”.
