Sinister: Barquito de papel

[Arantxa Sanz]

Hello!

My subject just simply means 'Paper Boat' in Spanish,that's the
explanation for novices (in Spanish,obviously). Joan Manuel Serrat, the
Catalan singer who wrote La la la, the song which won Eurovision Contest
being sung by Massiel, the lass in the yeye ,white thing, and who was
banned from it because he wanted to sing it in Catalan,...etc, also has a
song titled 'Barquito de Papel' , a sort of lovely,melancholic chronicle
about losing and missing childhood.

When I first listened to 'Paper Boat' , I thought it was a cover of some
60's or 70's song, maybe because that naive,folky and optimistic tune it
has.But I am sure it is strangely taking after some old song. Can anyone
suggest me something? I am so bad at that,recognizing melodies and giving
the proper name to them, as I noticed yesterday watching 'University
Challenge'...

I am already 25 , dear Mark. And I have no wrinkles, no white hair and no
cellulite so far. (crossing my fingers) But yes, I think 21,22,23...they
are one of the best possible ages in life (the other best period being
between 8 and 11, in my own existence!)

Love you all *

Arantxa
