All of my close acquaintances know that I'm a fan of Frank Sinatra but today I've chosen a song by his daughter, Nancy. During my walk in the afternoon, I was listening to the album: Gabor Szabo - The spellbinder which is a new purchase, thanks to my friend who spent his holiday in Berlin. So Gabor Szabo performs the same track on the album in a very cool and attractive way, but it isn't the perfect timing to write a review about the whole album - I keep it for early autumn.
We can also hear it in the film: Kill Bill directed by Quentin Tarantino. It was "re-discovered" as a theme song of it.
I like its lyrics because it's a childhood memory:
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...
