Remember that song - part 8

What I found interesting about listening to music over in Italy was that we could enjoy an Italian sung song just as much as an English one. Thats a great thing about music, you dont even need to be able to understand the words to still appreciate the feeling in what the singer is trying to portray.

We had a few favourites whilst living over there, from 'Elisa' to 'Eros Ramazzotti' to 'Tiziano Ferro'. But this particular song stands out for me, not because its a great song but because I had a real hard time trying to find out what it was called. I had to sing a part of it in this wierd combination of rubbish Italian and half english to a few people including finally a team mate to tell me the singers name.

We were at a roadside cafe on our way to a game and I had heard this song a number of times that I couldnt get out of my head but had no idea what it was called or who sung it. So we were looking through some CD's when I broke into song and I asked my Italian teammate if he knew what I was singing. I sang what I thought was the chorus in my crazy translated rendition and somehow after a few attempts he was able to decifer what I was on about and pointed to a song on the back of an Italian version of a 100% hits CD.

The song was 'Latin Lover' by Cesare Cremonini, lovely and easy to listen to.
