from Oannes blog…
Ντυμένη στο χακί για καλό [αντιπολεμικό] σκοπό…
✻
Dressed in military uniform for a good [antiwar] cause…Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I’ve a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate to mammy’s hero
Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier
But he didn’t have the money for a guitar
(What could he do)
(Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do)
(Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers
Tears o’er a tin box
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn’t to know
Like a chicken with a fox
He couldn’t win the war with ego
Give the kid the pick of pips
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Now he’s sitting in his hole
He might as well have buttons and bows
But he didn’t have the money for a guitar
(What could he do)
(Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do)
(Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers
Army dreamers
Army dreamers, oh
More about these reblogs
Lately I have been rebloging music videos from Oannes new blog. For my friends who didn’t know, or wonder why…. Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and mine] musical selections. • Although here I reblog mainly his musical selections, he writes exceptional articles on various topics [some may need translation], so do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!

Marina Kanavaki 
One of the best and most original songwriters in the business. I have all her albums!
Ah, so happy to hear that from you, Ken! While I was studying in London I remembered hearing from many people that she’s overrated and how horrible her squeaky voice is and I wondered why… then again, when an artist gets alot of airplay [Wuthering Heights was on the radio so much all day long!] this can happen. I think she’s one of those rare cases that her popularity was very well deserved! Very charismatic.
I think she has one of the most divine voices in music! Impressive range from deep alto to high end soprano!
Oh, yes she does!!!!!!!!!
One of the most unique voices in pop. The “DREAMING” album is still a personal fave.
Oh yes she is, songwriter too! I don’t think she’s appreciated as she should, being considered a ‘pop’ artist back in her country. I was glad to hear Lydon speak volumes of her. There are so many songs of hers I like, I couldn’t choose an album 😉
