from Oannes *

Πάντα στο αντιπολεμικό μας project, ακούμε το title track από το άλμπουμ Hiroshima που οι Βρετανοί folk rockers Wishful Thinking κυκλοφόρησαν το 1971. Το τραγούδι θα γινόταν ευρύτερα γνωστό ιδίως στην ηπειρωτική Ευρώπη, στο τέλος της δεκαετίας.

Carrying on our anti-war project, we hear the title track from Hiroshima, the album British folk rockers Wishful Thinking released in 1971. The song would become widely known, especially in continental Europe, at the end of the decade.

❝ There’s a shadow of a man at Hiroshima
Where he passed the moon
In a wonderland at Hiroshima
‘Neath the August moon
And the world remembers his face
Remembers the place was
Here
Fly metal bird to Hiroshima
And away your load
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was
Hiroshima
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was
Hiroshima
Hiroshima
Hiroshima
Hiroshima
Hiroshima ❞

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!
