Caro Emerald - Riviera Life

Follow Caro Emerald:

"Close your eyes and believe you're the country girl that takes a hidden 1956 Sunbeam from a farmhouse, left underneath a fl ood of discolored leaves in an abandoned garage. When the April showers fade and the nouveau riche hit the casinos of Monaco, the elite look around for that woman of style and substance. "Riviera Life" is but a dream, but for the evening about to come, that dream is possible. Maybe even for the weekend."

I HEARD THIS SONG ON THE RADIO A FEW YEARS AGO AND COULD NEVER FIND IT AGAIN, AND NOW I STUMBLE UPON IT NOW BY CHANCE.
THIS IS AMAZING.

I'm really tired of my concrete jungle
Six days a week is way too much
I'm gonna make
The great escape
Go on little getaway

I'll go get my beat up motor
Start it up and head for the green
Of endless countrysides
And go somewhere I've never been

I'll stop
Kiss my blues goodbye
Breathe until I
Soar outside my crazy nights
And live the riviera life
I'll stop
Thank you for today
I'm sure that by
Candlelight, I'll be alright

And live a riviera life
The road can wind like my hidden hair bow
You clear my face so I can feel the breeze
And down below
It's Monaco
And mister, I don't know a soul

I'll drop off the keys at valet
Look out my window bay
One afternoon martini
Wouldn't want it any other way

I'll stop
Kiss my blues goodbye
Breathe until I
Soar outside my crazy nights
And live the riviera life
I'll stop
Thank you for today
I'm sure that by
Candlelight, I'll be alright

So whenever
My eyes get weary
I'm not fearing
What life brings
Forever
When times make me teary
I'll know what I was meant to do
I've nothing at all to lose

I'll stop
Kiss my blues goodbye
Breathe until I
Soar outside my crazy nights
And live the riviera life
I'll stop
Thank you for today
I'm sure that by
Candlelight, I'll be alright

I heard "Back It Up" in Morrisons an hour ago and now in love with all of Caro Emerald's music

[woerdingsa]

Een vrolijk deuntje met een zachte stem, dat maakt het zo apart en mooi.
A merry tune with a soft voice, that makes it so special and beautiful.

[Fernando-ltff]

This song makes me losin' in past memories i have never had... fantastic.

[MidnightBlue]

One of my favourite moments in Fallout 3 was travelling down an abandoned highway while playing this.

[ValleyGirlNetwork]

Just translated comment below (This song definetly reminds me of sunny skys and holidays):

Whenever I'm stoned, and hear this song I think of those beautiful white beaches and azure sea. And then I lie sunbathing, and my butler comes along with a delicious cocktail. Suddenly BAM! I stoned nature is over and I'm back at my pathetic little room in this cold December day.

[bumpy]

same here, a friend told me about her and now listening for the first time...what a voice and great music, more of her for sure please...brilliant and classy

[Peter-]
