from Oannes *

Το post πρωτοδημοσιεύθηκε προ τριετίας, στο πλαίσιο ενός αφιερώματος σε τραγούδια για σκύλους. Το επαναλαμβάνουμε σήμερα. Το κλασικό του Paul απο το White Album και η συναρπαστική εξερεύνηση του Brad Mehldau από το Live in Marciac [2011].

The post was first published three years ago as part of a tribute to songs about dogs. We are repeating it today. Paul’s classic from the White Album and Brad Mehldau’s stunning exploration from Live in Marciac [2011].

❝ Martha, my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please, remember me
Martha, my love
Don’t forget me
Martha, my dear
Hold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you’ve done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Take a good look around you
Take a good look you’re bound to see
That you and me were meant to be
With each other
Silly girl
Hold your hand out, you silly girl
See what you’ve done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Martha, my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please, be good to me
Martha, my love
Don’t forget me
Martha, my dear ❞

* 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!
