I consider Lee Hazlewood\u00b4s “Summer Wine”, one of the best songs ever heard. I love it so much, I often play it in my guitar, although I deserve the title of the Greek Cacofonix. Thank God I have Katerina, an ex pro who sings both male and female vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever noticed the song lyrics? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, it is a nostalgic story about an express relationship between a man and a woman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman declares impressed by an object “she saw my silver spurs and said let’s pass some time<\/em>” and the man, credulous as usual, accepts her love, her summer wine, which is made by “strawberries, cherries and an angel\u00b4s kiss in spring<\/em>“. Magnificent lyrics!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does this story end up? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, meanwhile the man is sleeping completely drunk by the “summer wine”, the woman steels what she wanted “she took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime<\/em>” and leaves our friend “craving for more summer wine<\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Never mind, women deserve everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This immortal song is widely known sung by Nancy (Sinatra) and Lee, although it was originally recorded with Suzi Jane Hokom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The next decades uncountable duos have covered this song, today I will present you the one I personally prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alex Kapranos is the Greek origin singer and guitarist of the famous Scottish band Franz Ferdinand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He honoured Hazlewood\u00b4s Summer wine with an extraordinary bilingual cover, sung along with Clara Luciani, a Corsican beauty and singer of the French pop band La Femme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
