fata verde my beloved *swoons*

I was sure this was going to be my top song of the year, partly because I love it and partly because I feel like I spammed it a lot trying to put it into MuseScore :) I love the bass in this song so much, I love that it's mixed right in the middle with the vocals off to the side and the guitar off to the other side, I love that it starts off just playing the one note per bar before launching into the riff along with the guitar and the plinky instrument, I could declare it my favourite bassline except that Nunta is right there, don't make me choose 😭

also yes the lyrics, setting aside the ț-word if I may (it was 1974) my interpretation is less "if you don't behave then the bad people(tm) will get you" and more "hey those guys over there are perving on you jsyk", which is still kind of patronising but again it was 1974 what can you do. Also in my version the girl is oblivious to the pervy eyes because she's getting it on with the zburători at night, this is not necessarily supported by the text but nor is it contradicted, hope this helps >:)

14

if I had a nickel for every train song on my list I'd have three nickels because Trenulețul is on there twice

anyway you may or may not be familiar with Maria Tănase, if it helps you can think of Edith Piaf as the Maria Tănase of France (hides from @amastelaire)

I am nowhere near her league but I have fun pretending that maybe I could be one day, if I had an orchestra to follow me around everywhere, seriously what does a non-binary girl have to do to get one

77

This is one version of the rain song that I can't sing or else it will rain (there are two other versions on my wrapped list) (it has been a very wet year). Anyway I listened to it just then so it will rain in the next day or two, you're welcome <3
