The Essence of Longing: “Florence” by colourshop

“Florence” by colourshop

The beginning of colourshop’s new release whisks the listener away to an era reminiscent of the monochrome masterpieces of Italian cinema from the late '50s and early '60s, instantly creating a scene that feels both dreamlike and fairy-tale-like. 

“Florence,” the title of his new song, conveys a message that transcends mere admiration for aesthetics. It’s about recognizing beauty as an essential part of life and human experience. Beauty is portrayed as something that inspires, motivates, and ultimately enriches us, even if we cannot possess it. It is ephemeral, but that is precisely what makes it so valuable. “Florence” embodies a nostalgia for bygone times, which paradoxically reveals a deep appreciation for the here and now. 

Musically, the piece is marked by an astonishing lightness; the guitar tones are delicate, the melody lively and colorful. Alfredo, better known as colourshop, creates with his talent an atmosphere that inevitably draws a smile of contentment from the listener. And within a few seconds we find ourselves wandering in thought through the alleys of Florence, delighting in the beauty of both the past and the present, and lingering in the hope that colourshop will continue to unfold his musical magic in the future.
