On 31 December 2024, Paolo Benvegnù, a classy Italian singer-songwriter, passed away. In 2010 he had released the song ‘Io e il mio amore’. Speaking of the song Benvegnù said ‘why not live this life? Why throw it away? […] The problem is fear. In the piece we ask ourselves why we seek a Messiah if we then confuse him with the one who betrays him.’ Paolo will be missed, but fortunately we can still surround ourselves with his poetry.

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
