19 July – I’d give it all, everything in the world

We had dark and moody the other day. But dark with a likeable quality. Dark can take many other forms, and one of those can be today’s song.

No, don’t click away. Today’s dark is the sort of song you’d hear at the end of a night in a smoky bar. You know the sort. Patricia Kaas did a set earlier in the night. She’s gone off for a bottle of Noilly Prat, and today’s birthday girl Amila Glamočak is on the tiny stage with an introspective sort of song that sends people home, possibly with them humming it as they go. In Eurovision terms, I think Amila was just happy to make the final.

Amila is 52 today.

Srećan rođendan, Amila!
