We keep on turning #wedraaien door - Melina Mercouri - Ti pedia tou pirea
Each Tuesday and Thursday Anne from Satur9's World and myself, play a musical pingpong game where we choose a new music song based on each other's previous choice by association of a name, style, lyric, style, location or whatever crosses in our mind. We never know what the next song will be chosen and are forced to explore beyond our comfort zone due to each other's choices.
You can find our in the mean time long and fun playlist on Spotify and op Youtube. Subscribing to it is possible!
With Mykonos (from the American Fleet Foxes), Anne threw me to Greece. I realised we had not had one Greek song in our series before in those 4 years already. So I was determined to choose a Greek song. But that doesn't seem to be easy if I wasn't going to choose their Eurovision song contest participants.
In the end I went back to the hits my parents listened too. The music from my childhood is a bit of a warm blanket in these dark days, it feels very comforting. In the end I chose for Melina Mercouri and the Greek text version of this hit.
