Invited to the Italian show "Verissimo", Ermal Meta spoke about his life so far, the desire to one day become a father and how sacred normalcy is. Asked how his first 40 years were, the Albanian singer showed a beautiful journey, but also very difficult.
"I'm just in my forties. I feel good. It was a beautiful journey, but of course also difficult. In music you only see what you do on stage, but behind it there are many things you do not see. To write you have to be destroyed inside and sometimes it hurts a lot. Songs are flowers when they come out, but often their roots are very bitter. You can not see them, but they hurt. You live with them, they make you stronger. When you decide to become a musician , I decided to open up completely. I did not realize it had to be this way until a few years ago. I thought it was enough to just swim to the surface. 'Maybe I'm not worth it or maybe I'm not giving something worthwhile.' I thought you had to give people something real. given to someone else, necessarily hurts. It's a part of you. When I did, a miracle happened. I started tearing pieces of myself. "And people loved me, but everything has a cost," he said.
Ermal Meta has never hidden that he had a violent father, with whom he broke off all relations in 1990. The artist explained that for a long time he was convinced that he did not want to have children, precisely because he was influenced from the conflicting relationship with his father:
"I thought for a long time that I did not want to be a father. I never wanted to risk a child thinking about me, what I always thought about my father. I was very afraid of that. But for some time, something "It has changed inside me. Maybe! However, I do not know. I would tell you that yes, I would, but when, I do not know."
Ermal Meta also spoke about the difficult period of the pandemic and the way he returned the values ??to normal, which in the past was associated with mediocrity:
"I'm looking forward to starting a full life, like all of us. I'm talking about concerts, meetings with fans, I'm talking about doing my favorite activity, concerts. But I also talk about everyday life, what we had never understood before: normalcy. When we lost it, we all realized that normalcy is a really precious thing. We first used the term normal to define a mediocre thing. In fact, then we realized that normalcy is a sacred thing because it allows you to reorganize yourself every day, to choose what is right for you every day. With a lot of effort and hope, we look forward to next year and hope to conquer this much-desired normalcy. ”
