br. «C'è un solo modo per trovare la propria strada nella musica: sbagliare. Poi, sbagliare ancora. Sbagliare di nuovo, sbagliare per sempre. Sbagliare e sfilarci di dosso tutte le nostre convinzioni. Fino ad arrivare al cuore di ciò che stiamo cercando. Fino a trovare noi stessi.» La musica ascoltata alla radio. In macchina, a letto. Le canzoni su Spotify, i vecchi cd che si graffiavano dopo pochi secondi. Lucio Dalla, le Spice Girls, i Doors. Le giornate in un garage a fare cover rock. Prendere una chitarra e suonare. Suonare e cantare. Scrivere una canzone. Ogni istante della nostra vita ha la sua precisa colonna sonora; la musica ci accompagna ogni giorno, modula il nostro umore, genera ricordi, ci traghetta nel futuro. La musica è sempre dentro di noi. Il cantautore Francesco Motta racconta che cosa significa vivere con la musica: cosa spinge molti giovani a voler diventare musicisti o cantanti, che ostacoli si incontrano lungo il cammino e in che modo è possibile affrontarli. Condivide, riavvolgendo il nastro della sua vita, storie e riflessioni intorno a problemi fondamentali: l'importanza della solitudine e del silenzio, lo scoramento per quello che si ha in testa e non si riesce a esprimere, l'imprevedibile viaggio che si compie ogni volta che si inizia a scrivere una canzone. Vivere la musica è un manuale sentimentale per mettere a nudo le nostre emozioni attraverso note e parole, e un manifesto poetico per riscoprire la vera bellezza della musica, per tornare ad ascoltarla con le orecchie, il cuore e lo stupore di un bambino.
