I do n’t really know much about Italian singerFlo Sandon ’s . And I specially do n’t know why her surname has an apostrophe like that . I could n’t even tell you what the lyrics to her Song dynasty “ Parole D’Amore Sulla Sabbia ” mean . All I make out is that I utterly have it off it .
I recall first hearing Flo Sandon ’s about a decade ago on the testimonial of eMusic , the paid DRM - barren music subscription service . I used to adore eMusic back in the days when legally downloading euphony from iTunes fare with some pretty smutty DRM . And whatever I download to get eMusic to recommend Flo Sandon ’s , I ’m sure beaming I got it .
Even without knowing a word of Italian , Sandon ’s “ Parole D’Amore Sulla Sabbia ” just echoes through as earnest , passionate , and … smokey ? Is that a word I ’m allowed to use here ? Either way , there ’s really nothing more you could require for in a midcentury singer .
For best results , might I recommend pop unresolved a bottleful of your favorite red vino and rolling a few meatballs as big as your fist ? It will only enrich the experience as you play this vocal on repeat , I control you .
