Background Story
A lot of the music selected for this #86albums project has a strong connection with a friend of mine who passed away few years ago. Maybe because we used to have a very similar taste in music, the same passion for clubbing and live music. Or maybe just because I put way too much emotional value into songs. Who knows.
Every year, with my friends from Turin, we organise a charity party in his honour, the “Bomber Night”. At this party I pretend to be a Dj and put some music. During the night there is a moment that now became tradtition. The moment when I play Gui Boratto’s “No Turning Back”. And we all go crazy, singing, dangin and keeping the memory alive.
“All the time, all the shine of your eyes I would never forget All I know there’s no time, there’s no life, there is no turning back”
Yes, the lyrics are quite sad. But is an amazing song to dance to.
