Last time I sent out Manu Chao (this song specifically) there were only like 12 subscribers on this list, so I thought it’d be great to resend this great Summer song.
Ok, this song is in Portuguese, the band sings in Spanish, and they’re from France. Reminds me of my parents. When I was young my folks always talked about how they loved Elvis and The Beatles so much. They’d go on and on about how their records were banned; and you’d get fined if you were caught playing the record. “But dad, you didn’t speak a lick of English back then and you didn’t understand them at all.” He said all you really need for a good song is a good melody. I never quite understood what he meant by it.
Then comes this band and I find myself playing their albums on repeat all last summer. Now I completely understand what they were talking about when we had that conversation 20 years ago (wow, I’m old...even 20 years ago I was already a bumbling idiot). Fuck.
Way to make me feel like shit, fuckteeth.
