from Oannes *

Τρεις δεκαετίες χωρίζουν τις δυο βερσιόν αυτού του εφηβικού anthem, από την αυθεντική του Βασιλιά στην ταινία “Flaming Star” του Don Siegel, 1960, σ’ εκείνην της Julee Cruise από το soundtrack της ταινίας “Untill The End Of The World” του Wim Wenders, 1991.

✽

Three decades between two versions of this teenage anthem, from the original by The King, from the film “Flaming Star” [Don Sieagel, 1960] to Julee Cruise’s from the soundtrack of Wim Wenders’ “Until The End Of The World”, 1991

❝ Summer kisses, Winter tears
That was what she gave to me
Never thought that I’d travel all alone
The trail of memories
Happy hours, lonely years
But I guess I can’t complain
For I still recall the Summer sun
Through all the Winter rain
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Summer kisses, Winter tears ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, 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 sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
