Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Syria / © A. Stavridou
If you said let's go
If you said I'm sick of this placeI would listen to you
I wouldn't hesitate
And whether it's for a town
A godforsaken place
It wouldn't bother me
I'd be ready as if
I was waiting …
Dominique Ané [Si tu disais, 2000] and Calexico
Η επιγραφή "Bagdad Cafe", μεταξύ άλλων, μου θύμισε συνειρμικά την ομότιτλη ταινία και το τραγούδι που ακουγόταν σε αυτήν:
ReplyDeleteCalling you
Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Someplace better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe just around the bend.
I am calling you
Can't you hear me
I am calling you.
Hot dry wind blows right through me
Baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we both know a change is coming
It's coming closer
Sweet release.

And I can feel a change is coming

Το εικονιζόμενο καφέ βρίσκεται στη Συρία, αλλά πρόκειται για σαφή παραπομπή στο Bagdad Cafe της κωμόπολης Bagdad, California, πάνω στο θρυλικό Route 66.
