# Sorry mom: Seltsam’s Heartfelt Letter to a Generation
‘Sorry Mamma’ is the song that Seltsam took to the Sanremo Giovani competition, and not only that… he tells us about it in his interview.
A letter of apology, which isn’t an apology: this is what the song Strange brought to Sanremo Giovani. Sorry Mom is a song with a delicate melody and a particular aroma, intense in its lyrics, bringing tears to the eyes. Above all, it’s that page that many children would like to write to their mothers.This is one of the enormous strengths of this artist: inherent in his music is the ability to be the spokesperson for an entire generation, made up of off-campus and non-course students, of children who make mistakes and try not to, but also of parents who struggle to understand their children themselves.Another strong point is the impact that the artist has, thanks to social media, on his audience. Even if you don’t know his music yet, in some way you already know Strange – maybe on TikTok, maybe on Instagram.The Sanremo Giovani experience with Sorry Mom is a step, with a song of absolute value, in a path that is taking an increasingly clear and defined trajectory.
## Sorry Mom: An Open-Hearted Letter
As previously mentioned, Seltsam has that rare and delicate ability to speak *for* a generation, and above all to make those he addresses feel listened to, allowing them to truly immerse themselves in his music. In this sense, Sorry Mom is a modern poem: it conveys an remarkable message through the fragility of the soul of what, to all intents and purposes, can be defined as an artist.
But in this song there is not only love towards the mother. Going deeper, the words become self-analysis: they tell of the internal difficulties of the kids of a generation that is slowly and laboriously approaching a world it doesn’t yet know. And this is where Sorry Mom stops being “just” a song for Sanremo Giovani and becomes something much more powerful.It’s a manifesto. A song that helps to understand the difficulties of young people in deciphering the world of adults, but also those of adults in relating to a new generation that asks for listening, not judgement.
We asked seltsam some questions, becuase Sanremo Giovani is an crucial experience and it seemed right to go a little deeper. Below you will find his answers: happy reading.
