The Spin

The band Miodio formed in the winter of 2002 and consists of five members: Nicola Della Valle (lead vocals) Paolo Macina (Guitars) Andrea Marco Pollice "Polly" (Bass and Programming) Francesco Sancisi (Keyboards and Programming) and Alessandro Gobbi (Drums).
In 2006 their first EP was released containing five tracks. It was produced by the label “Acanto” owned by the producer and composer Andrea Felli. In 2007 they entered into an exclusive contract with Opera Prima, a record label established by Andrea Felli, Massimo Nardi e Roberto Fiacchini,releasing there first single It's Ok, which is still played by more than a hundred national radio stations. The song has been also included in the soundtrack of the movie Il Soffio dell’Anima coming soon to theatres nationwide and is listed in the catalogue of the prestigious and renowned iTunes Store.

The name of the band is provocative and impressive but hides a deep reflection: "You must learn to see how much you hate yourself until you look at yourself in the mirror and see the reflection of your thoughts, you will use every person you meet as a mirror reflecting what you think of yourself…"

"Carefully selected sounds together with dynamic and stirring lyrics" are the main features of an already multi-awarded project. Miodio’s music is a fusion of state-of-the-art instruments, cutting-edge technology, pushy but always refined electronic sounds and a breathtaking stage act delivering a strong emotional impact. Miodio can list numerous live participations: participation in the MpZero Tour 2007 as supporters in the Olympic Stadium, Rome; San Siro Stadium, Milan; Euganeo Stadium, Padua; Franchi Stadium, Florence; Victory Stadium, Bari; Velodrome, Palermo. Another highlight was the participation in the famous TV program Matinée, on the channel RAI 2. Miodio are also the winners of the 17th edition of San Marino Festival as well as the winners of the prize 'Viva Music' and 'Best Original Song' at the 2006 Arts Festival in Bologna. They also represented San Marino at the 12th Biennial of Young Artists of Europe held in Naples, where the band presented a 30-minute filmshot, edited and produced by themselves and praised by an international jury.

The Singer
 

The Past
  
They haven't got one. At least in Eurosong.

The Song

Summary of professionally dull promo video. Solemn band. Dull. Piazza of a castle. Dull. Big sunglasses. Boys look silly. Dull. Arm movements to the fore. Dull. Dull.

Overall

Their lack of friends and Italian speakers have meant that Miodio have been completely overlooked by my prediction machine. An example where i wonder if there has been a small glitch in the system, as this ballard certainly isn't the most unpalatable of this year's slow courses. It may just spring a surprise and make it through on debut a la Anjeza.
   
 
 
   
   
 
 

Complice

Mai avrei pensato a te
come mia complice
capace di capire ogni mia gioia o pianto
la pace di un momento
è tutto ciò che siamo
è tutto ciò che sento…

E vedo te
come l’immenso
come una lacrima
su un foglio bianco
tra sesso e musica
ho immaginato te
che sei molto di più
qualcosa che non c’è…

E sentirti parte di me
è come avere un angelo qui
a sostenere ogni mio passo incerto
e piove come sempre
quando ci ritroviamo
sospesi nel silenzio…(di un bacio)

E vedo te
come l’immenso
come una lacrima
su un foglio bianco
tra sesso e musica
ho immaginato te
che sei molto di più
qualcosa che non c’è…

…come l’immenso
come una lacrima
su un foglio bianco
tra sesso e musica
ho immaginato te
che sei molto di più
qualcosa che non c’è…

e vedo te
come l’immenso
come una lacrima
su un foglio bianco
tra sesso e musica
ho immaginato te
che sei molto di più
qualcosa che non c’è…

Accomplice

I never would have thought of you as my accomplice
Capable of understanding my every joy or sorrow

The peace of a moment
Is all that we are
Is all that I feel

And I see you as the immensity
Like a tear on a white page
Between sex and music, I thought of you
That you are so much more, something that isn't there

And feeling you as a part of me
Is like having an angel
Sustain my every uncertain step

As always it rains
When we find ourselves
Suspended in the silence of a kiss

And I see you as the immensity
Like a tear on a white page
Between sex and music, I thought of you
That you are so much more, something that isn't there

And I see you as the immensity
Like a tear on a white page
Between sex and music, I thought of you
That you are so much more, something that isn't there
Prediction Semi Final 1 19th
Final Bad debut
