Une chanson inspirée par la mélodieuse new yorkaise "East Side Story" de Bernard Lavilliers.
La vie d'un italien qui survit... A tous les amoureux de l'Italie et de la grosse pomme...

Paroles :
New York, the Big Apple,
Pour toi, r'voilà les problèmes.
Nouveau chapitre de ta vie,
Jusqu'ici l'Italie te suit.

Au milieu des buildings blèmes,
La place, faut qu'tu las tiennes.
Ta vie pourrait être heureuse,
Mais faut sortir la sulfateuse.

Refrain :
New York Story,
Ta vie de bandit.
Dans ta peau l'Italie,
Jusqu'ici elle te suit...

Apprend à parler espagnol,
Sinon avenue B, tu décolles.
Pas de place pour les mariolles,
Ici, faut pas qu'tu t'affoles.

Tu pourrais frimer sur Broadway,
Mais à ta place, j'me méfierais.
On pourrait vite te calmer,
Garde ton flingue, on sait jamais.

Refrain :
New York Story,
Nouvelle page de ta vie.
Dans ta peau l'Italie,
Jusqu'ici elle te suit...

New York City, New York Story...

Faut pas qu't'aie la trouille,
Ou direct, tu dérouilles.
Si t'es pas trop gourmand,
Tu vivras assez longtemps.

L'été, quarante degrés,
Keep cool, ça va aller.
Evite le Spanish Harlem,
T'auras pas trop de problème.

Refrain :
New York Story,
Nouvelle page de ta vie.
Dans ta peau l'Italie,
Jusqu'ici elle te suit...

New York City, New York Story...
L'histoire de ta vie...

New York Story in New York City...

Paroles et musique, Christóphoros.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

I play on Sequential, Korg, Roland, Modal and Behringer synthesizers (with Strymon pedal effects recently) to compose original musical creations inspired by the nature, the countries all around the world and the cosmos...
