"Coraline" is a rock ballad by Italian rock band Måneskin, from their second studio album, Teatro d'ira: Vol. I (2021). Although it was not released as a single it reached a Top 5 position in Finland, Greece and Lithuania. It received the double platinum certification by FIMI.[2]

Overview

[edit]

The rock ballad was initially written in a hotel room by band's vocalist Damiano David and guitarist Thomas Raggi.[3][4] According to Thomas Raggi, the song has a progressive composition with an arpeggio. The voice and acoustic guitar from the beginning are later met with electric guitar, bass guitar and drums in a "very theatrical way". According to Ethan Torchio it is a "story with a beginning, a development and an end".[5] As explained by lyrics writer, Damiano David, the girl's name is unrelated to the same-titled novel Coraline by Neil Gaiman, but rather it was inspired by a true story. It is talking about a fragile girl's life which is withering, a knight-errant who is helpless in front of her suffering, and that the "tale ends badly, there is no happy ending".[4][6][7][8]

Coraline" necessita di una precisazione: non è la storia di un uomo cavaliere che salva la principessa in difficoltà. La favola finisce male, non c'è il lieto fine. E' qualcosa di reale, è l'appassimento di questo fiore, di questa ragazza, e il cavaliere è inerme e impotente di fronte a quello che sta succedendo ...
