Brown haired David is the best David :)

He was very handsome around this age, with his natural hair color and lack of makeup. I wish there was a version of this interview without the overdub, I can't really tell what he's saying.

D: (Italian) "I love Rome! I guess one day I'll come recording an album, choosing a place is important as much as choosing musicians" J: "For recording "Rain Tree Crow", David Sylvian has chosen France, England and Italy, in particular Mogliano Veneto. A peculiar work routine: every other month, for avoiding stress and pressure. A brave approach: the musicians started recoding with neither reharsals nor discussions about the musical directions to be followed before. Pure instinct as never before." D: (Italian) " It was 8 years we didn't work together, we felt excited and enthusiastic, we were open and helpful, something such rare in the music world. Thus, we won't do it again, it would be a forcing to recreate the same spirit in another moment. Japan adventure is over! When Japan ended in 1982, it wasn't a good moment for me, I was unsatisfied in my private and artistic life, I thought Japan did great. but everything was too much focused on me, I was the composer. After so many years, I didn't know who I was, my solo career was the pursuit of myself." D: (Italian)" I use words as symbols to evoke particular situations, I exploit the atmospheric conditions, landscapes and animals as key for the feelings, for concretely write about abstract ideas, people respond to those words in an universal manner, as they are associated to our inner being." D: (Italian)" All the arts are connected each other, as, all of them describe the society, each in a different manner. Music is the most popular one and it is not just entertainment. In the entertainment, you tend projecting outside yourself, for escaping; with music, you try digging inside youself. Everyone is multiple colours at the same time. The society teach us to focus one colour at time, but our nature holds a wide chromatic spectrum. Learning to know ourselves is important, as the next step is to know the surrounding world. The world doesn't need ordinary albums anymore, it does need albums with a raison d'etre."

Un ARTISTA troppo difficile da comprendere per la massa. Grandissimo David.

Thanks for posting this! Pity about the voicover translation for those of us whose Italian is not up to scratch.

David looks so hot coming down those steps... a beautiful man in a beautiful city.

Artistic one I guess.

I know this is from like 12 years but yeah, this interview is from 1991 :) (And some other footages in the next parts are dated from the 90s till 95's)

Hello Gerrit, it's 100% about RTC, "The 1st Day" and "Graceland" are not even mentioned. :)

Most women would die to have hair like that wander what bloodline David Is from?
