A Tune From Nine Years Ago
Story #1: About nine years ago there was a song played on the radio that I really liked. I tried very hard to find out its name and the singer, but I failed. I just failed. Although I knew part of the lyrics and I think I even had it on tape somewhere, I just couldn’t find out anything more.
Remember that was in 1996, so no Google back then (which just reminds me how much easier those things are now). In time I forgot about it.
Story #2: Today I listened to Sophie Zelmani’s self-titled album for the first time.
Can you guess where I’m going?
So, the songs I was searching for so desperately nine years ago, the name is „You and Him“ and it is sung by Miss Zelmani.
What struck me as most amazing was that I recognized it rightaway. „Oh my god, oh my god, that’s the song I was looking for. That’s it!“ There was not a moment of doubt that this was it. Okay, maybe one moment, but I think that’s acceptable, considering that I was amazed two times at once. First that I remembered the Song Search Desaster of 1996 (and in such detail) and second that I finally found it.
Plus, that means that I already had great taste back then and whatever radio station played the song gets kudos in retrospect for playing Sophie Zelmani.
