from Oannes *

Όχι γνωστή όσο θα έπρεπε, η έξοχη βερσιόν του τραγουδιού του Gershwin από τους David Bowie, Angelo Badalamenti, περιλαμβάνεται στο compilation album Red Hot + Rhapsody, με διασκευές από καλλιτέχνες όπως Morcheeba, Natalie Merchant, Sinead O’Connor κ.ά.

Not as known as it should, this excellent version of the Gershwin’s song by David Bowie, Angelo Badalamenti, is included on the Red Hot + Rhapsody compilation of covers by Morcheeba, Natalie Merchant, Sinead O’Connor etc.

❝ I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I’ve known
A foggy day in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
British Museum had lost its charm
How long I wondered
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles hadn’t passed
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere ❞

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!
