A Musical Interlude...

On my recent holiday in Greece, a particular song was played a lot around the pool and bar at the hotel where we were staying. I'd never heard it before, but it had a haunting quality that I liked, and I found myself humming it when I got back home as well.

With the aid of the Internet (what did we ever do without it?) I discovered that the song was called Last Kiss, and it was performed by an Arabic singer called Ishtar. With a little more research, I found this YouTube video of the number being performed live...



If you are receiving this post by email, you will need to visit my blog to watch the video.

I hope you enjoy listening to this song, which for me brings back happy memories of lazing around the pool or sitting by the pool bar with a chilled Mythos (Greek beer) or milk shake. Ah well, back to reality now!

Very cool tune. Some vocal acrobatics there as well. Nice effect. Also leaves me with a mid-eastern sense of musical flavoring. Thumbs up. And that from a devout rock'n'roller.

Like the tune, hint of bangra and full of eastern promise. Cheers Nick, left me thinking of holidays now !

Glad you guys liked the song as well, As a matter of interest if you visit this MySpace site, you can hear the full studio version of the song (which I prefer). The student whose site this is has used it as background music.
