I would be grateful for hints about the background of that song. We also found the allocation of syllables on the melody quite amazing ( a lot of unstressed syllables on accentuated notes) and wonder, was this done on purpose or did he as a non-native speaker simply neglect this consideration? Kind regards Johannes www.whisht.de |
