Versatile artist with perpetual resources, composer, singer, passionate scholar of dialects and popular cultures Eugenio Finardi was born in Milan on July 16, 1952. Child prodigy, takes his first steps in the musical universe hand in hand with the likes of Alberto Camerini and Fabrizio De Andrè. In 1976 he is "Sugo", an artist's revelation album that has not yet finished surprising the connoisseurs of pop music. The album contains Radio and Musica Ribelle, a manifesto song by Finardi cantautore, suspended between the rage of the rocker and the lyric of love.
In 1978, with the release of "Extraterrestre" (contained in Blitz), Finardi definitively consecrated itself as the cornerstone constellation of Italian music. Visionary, but familiar, sometimes almost domiciliary, infinitely reassuring, "Extraterreste" is a song of abandonment in the arms of the unknown and of the different, a psychedelic dirge on evasion and the search for the new. Finally, many collaborations by Eugenio Finardi. We remember among others that with Alberto Camerini, the one with Francesco di Giacomo (from the Banco del Mutuo Soccorso), as well as the refined exploration \ rereading on the roots of Portuguese music carried out with Marco Poeta.

Artista poliedrico e dalle perpetue risorse, compositore, cantante, appassionato studioso di dialetti e culture popolari Eugenio Finardi nasce a Milano il 16 luglio del 1952. Bambino prodigio, muove i suoi primi passi nell'universo musicale mano nella mano con figure del calibro di Alberto Camerini e Fabrizio De Andrè. Del 1976 è "Sugo", album rivelazione di un artista che non ha ancora finito di sorprendere gli intenditori di musica leggera. L'album contiene Radio e Musica Ribelle, canzoni manifesto del Finardi cantautore, sospese fra la rabbia del rocker navigato, e la lirica d'amore.
Nel 1978, con l'uscita di "Extraterrestre" (contenuta in Blitz), Finardi si consacra definitavamente come costellazione cardine della musica italiana. Visionaria, ma familiare, a tratti quasi domiciliare, infinitamente rassicurante, "Extraterreste" è un canto d'abbandono fra le braccia dello sconosciuto e del diverso, una nenia psichedelica sull'evasione e la ricerca del nuovo. Molte infine le collaborazioni di Eugenio Finardi. Ricordiamo fra le altre quella con Alberto Camerini, quella con Francesco di Giacomo (del Banco del Mutuo Soccorso), oltre che la raffinata esplorazione\rilettura sulle radici della musica portoghese svolta con Marco Poeta.
Why Love
Eugenio Finardi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That a woman's love should make her man feel good
But love hurts more than it pleases
Love hurts and leaves your heart bleeding
I had a woman I loved her so
She said ' I'm sorry baby but that's the way things go'cause'
Love hurts more than it pleases
Love hurts and leaves your heart bleeding
Why love why love
Why love can't I let you go
Why love do ya treat me so oh no
Why love even though I know
That it always hurts me so
I tried to talk about it, I tried to understand
But on the night she left me she slept with another man
Love hurts...
I thought the pain would ease with time
But the more I think about it the more it blows my mind
Love hurts...
Why love why love
Why love do you treat me so
Why love can't I let you go
Why love even though I know
That it always hurts me so
I thought that love could fill the holes
That seem to somehow build in a young man's soul
But love hurts...
Now I love my woman she really is a friend
But the first thing I told her was 'Honey never again'
'cause love hurts...
Why love why love
Why love do ya treat me so
Why love can't I let you go oh no
Why love even though I know
That you always hurts me so oh no
That you always hurts me so
That you always hurts me so
The song "Why Love" by Eugenio Finardi explores the paradoxical nature of love. The singer in the song expresses his confusion and frustration about the painful experiences that love has brought him.

He recounts a past relationship with a woman whom he loved deeply, but who ultimately left him for another man. Despite his attempts to understand and process the breakup, he finds that the pain of love only intensifies over time.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is not alone in his struggle to make sense of love. He asks repeatedly, "Why love?" as if seeking an answer to the mysteries of the heart. He acknowledges that he cannot let go of his feelings for his former lover, despite the fact that they have caused him so much pain. He reflects on the ways in which he once believed that love could heal the holes in his soul, but he now sees that love often brings more hurt than healing. In the end, the singer declares that he loves his current partner, but he acknowledges that love is not always easy and that it can hurt even when it comes from someone who truly cares for him.
Overall, the lyrics to "Why Love" present a complex and nuanced exploration of the emotional landscape of love. They offer a frank portrayal of love's challenges and contradictions, while also hinting at the deep sense of meaning and connection that can come from truly loving another person.
