Marlena's "G R E A T !" I have loved her since the early 70's. "Loving you is like a party" and "Go away little boy" and her version of , Feel like making love to you", are the BOMB!!!!! You are right! Whomever said it. She is a Classy, Jazzy. Hidden' Gem!
I NEED A DIM LIGHT AND WINE GLASS AND MY FEET KICKED UP JUST BEING SERVE BY EVERY COMMAND THIS IS JUST TO GROWN THIS IS WAY PASSED THERE HEADS THANK U MS SHAW
THIS QUEEN JUST AWOKEN THIS OLD SOUL MAN MUSIC HAS JUST LOST ITS FLARE JUST BRILLIANT THANK U FOR THIS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HER AND NOW I UNDERSTAND Y GROWN FOLKS MUSIC JUST BEAUTIFUL CLASSY JUST FIRE ALL THOUGH THIS THANKS AGAIN
We are two illusions who touch in a trance Making love not by choice, but by chance We don't exist We are nothing but shadow and mist In the mirror we look as we pass Our reflections revealed in the glass Don't you know that the blood in your veins Is as lifeless as yesterday's rain It's a game where we come and conceal The confusion we feel As long as we're nameless Our bodies are blameless
well,the english lyrics are rather melodramatic but good attempt in America, given the nature of this haunting melody. France, Italy, Argentina.. an amalgam of LATIN energies! Unforgettable or rather, haunting. No?
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, Alex. Andy Williams really does an outstanding job on this song (from his 1973 Solitaire LP). Shaw is good here, but her interpretation is too jazzy and free form, losing that haunting melancholy of the original Barbieri theme (and of the film).
dude i know sampled this version for a track called "exotic life" the track i would like for it too be done by dilla r.i.p-pharrell and the yessirs,madlib,b!nk,or even pete rock ...just to see what they would do with it...marlena blessed this.
there's this weird synth thing going on in the background, am i tripping out? it sounds like some synth-funk dude jamming out over an orchestral soul jam.
LOOOOOOVE IT

The level is so high that it is completely distorted and clipped. The best way to destroy good music.

You cried when we kissed
It was nothing but shadow and mist
Two illusion who touch in a trance
Making love not by choice, but by chance
To a theme we tore from their past
To a tango we swore was their last
We are shadows of dance
As long as we're nameless
Our bodies are blameless

the "jamming" in the background is from Gato Barbieri's original soundtrack for "Last Tango in Paris"
