Music
The Night We Met- Lord Huron
When i heard this song for the first time I thought it was recorded in the 1980s. To say I was surprised when I discovered it’s more modern origins would be an understatement.
Adam and Eve – Paul Anka
Realeased in the 1960s this song is such a little cheerful gem.
Για σένα που λατρεύω – Stavent feat. Βιολέτα Νταγκάλου
This is a very special and meaningful song that deals with important issues
Glory Box – Portishead
I discovered this song while watching the series ”Καρτ ποστάλ” and I instantly became hooked to it’s hypnotic melody.
You’re Sixteen (You’re Beautiful And You’re Mine) – Ringo Starr
Originally perfomed by rockabilly singer Johnny Burnette in 1960 this rather cheesy song becomes memorable with Ringo’s voice.
