Scrivo D’amore Video
8th December 2022. 606 Jazz Club, London
I am sitting on my own at a table at the very back, having my malt whiskey. Had been through tough, emotionally hard couple of weeks. Feeling a bit down, Listening to jazz at this club always heals me…
Rebecca Poole (AKA Purdy) is on the stage…
With her dark tone color in her voice which is a beautiful contrast to her sparkling soul full of light. Floating between bitter sweet emotions and transforming all that feeling to you…
It is my first time watching this beautiful jazz vocal artist…
She stars singing this song. I start to have goosebumps since the beginning tune of the song. As she starts singing the lyrics she had wrote, my eyes go into tears. I can not help it. I cry and cry and meanwhile crying I also record the song…
Here you will see the video of that first time in 606 Club I listened to ‘The Real Thing’ from dearest Rebecca.
I fall in love with the song and the lyrics and the way Rebecca sings through ‘the real thing’ reflecting her past her feelings, showing her vulnerable sides. This is so fragile. This is so ‘real & honest’…
Almost a year later…

Italian
Stiamo cantando distanti la stessa canzone,
siamo segreti divisi in quelle stesse parole,
siamo gli amici sbagliati, ammetto sei altro per me
che conto il tempo e i baci perduti con te.
Scrivo d’amore arte o verità
Cambio ruoli e nomi che assomiglino a te,
scrivo d’amore e l’alba me lo dirà
che sei la cosa più vera inventata da me
Siamo in notti diverse l’identico sogno
Siamo il buio e la luce che cullano il nostro mondo,
ho scritto la stessa canzone che tu non ascolterai mai,
mio caro so fare tesoro di quel non dai.
Scrivo d’amore arte o verità
Cambio ruoli e nomi che assomiglino a te
Scrivo d’amore e l’alba me lo dirà
Che sei la cosa più vera inventata da me
E viaggio nel tempo mi tolgo una voglia
Riprendo la storia che ora vivrai
Scrivo d’amore arte o verità
Niente ruoli o nomi, siamo soli io e te
Scrivo d’amore sincera senza pietà
Signori, un altro finale, io e te
Ecco l’altro finale, io e te
English
We are singing the same song apart,
We are secrets divided into those same words,
We are the wrong friends, I admit you are something else for me that I count the time and the kisses lost with you.
I write about love, art or truth
I change roles and names that look like you, I write about love and the dawn will tell me
That you are the truest thing invented by me
We are in different nights the same dream
We are the darkness and the light that cradle our world,
I wrote the same song that you will never listen to, my dear I know how to treasure that you don't give.
I write about love, art or truth
I change roles and names that look like you I write about love and the dawn will tell me
That you are the truest thing invented by me
And time travel I take away a desire I take back the story you will now live
I write about love, art or truth
No roles or names, it's just you and me I write of sincere love without mercy Gentlemen, another ending, you and I
Here's the other ending, you and me…
End of the recording day, 20.30 pm at Abbey Road Studios…
Sam is playing the piano parts for the rcordings as the final step…
I cry out loud…
Full of emotions and that bitter sweet feeling having the same goosebumps..
Dreaming and living the dreams beyond your dreams…
This is what i call life full of miracles…
With special thanks to the precious Rebecca Poole for sharing her Real Thing and opening her heart as a musician, as a song writer, as a friend and much more than this as a kindred soul full of light and creativity…
