Guns of Navarone - Greek Folk Song
Loading...
Uploaded by mackyv on Jan 16, 2008
This is in memory of a charming old man who used to live in my street; he was a French speaker, but was from one of those exotic French islands somewhere like the Indian Ocean, and in his heavily accented English he would always say to me, "Greece, beautiful music ! Beautiful music ! Guns of Navarone, beautiful singing !". He would then hum this tune to me, and always asked me if I could get it for him. Well it was in the days before Internet, so it took me a couple of years, but I eventually found this song on a Greek Folk Songs CD, and it was just wonderful to see the delighted expression on his face when I presented it to him !

Six years ago I visited the very spot where this scene was filmed. Alas, it has been redeveloped into a car park and looks nothing like it does in the film.

Greeks can never be MAKEDONIANS

@esselin27 roman republic?? do you know S.P.Q.R.?first in order was senatus and then all the other male civillians,the not privillaged as you can think.In Greece they made their decisions in ''vouli'',the parliament, and every male civillian in the proper age had the obligation to vote by raising his hand.That was what they called ''demos''.The word we use my friend is democracy and to enlighten you it derives from the word demos=people and kratos=power.Also Athens gave philosophy and arts.

They were, but nothing compared to many other countries who fought alone against impossible odds. Some of these fought so well even Heinrich Himmler admired their leader and will to fight. I won't bother to have a history lesson on youtube of all places.
The greeks did however throw the italians out without much fuss, so Hitler had to bail them out. That happened in Northern Africa too, and later in Italy itself.

I stayed in greece for 2 years. I can never forget the country , those where the best days of life. I am from india but love the way Greece is peaceful. It was sad to see the financial turmoil.
This song is soothing , nice and cool. Its nostalgic and reminds me of my great days in greece.
GOD give me a rewind button....
