La Luna De Sorrento.

Hey there, fellas - I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with my entertaining (to say the least) holidays and It was a bit of a pain in the arse to post a new entry in my blog whilts being caught up in all that stuff.

This time, I'm going to introduce you a lovely aussie star called Tina Arena, one of the most influyent and amazingly enormous artists to ever stand up and represent her beautiful homecountry (even considering she was born in Italy!). The track in question that I'd love to showcase in this entry is 'Sorrento Moon (I Remember)', the 2nd single from her Diamond Certified somophore effort 'Don't Ask', which cracked several Top 40 charts all over the world. Even if it wasn't a monster hit like her legendary smash 'Chains', 'Sorrento Moon' reflects Tina's fragility and wonderful songwriter abilities. Basically, the song paints a particular night in which a couple in love get to escape from everything and one of them narrates how beautiful and tender was their love back then; plus mention the reasons why she loved him so badly. Thing is, as you might have thought already, the track has bittersweet undertones thanks to it being based on just memories - which makes us listeners take a wild guess that the relationship is over and one of them is still in love, even considering their time has passed.

It's far from being a ballad, but its emotional content will surely get you a bit teary after a couple of spins.

Here's the link to the track (which is presented in my favourite skin, the Live Version from the Olympia 2002 concert):

Feel free to comment, as always :). First, I must admit I felt a bit insecure about posting this gem of a recording on my blog - so, I truly hope you all give it (at the very least!) a mild chance to warm your heart like it did to me :).
