Bezongen wijntjes

Bezongen wijntjes

De liefde mag dan vaak worden bezongen, artiesten kunnen ook hun liefde voor een goed glas wijn goed verwerken in hun teksten.

Red, red wine - Neil Diamond

De eerste die in het hoofd schiet is misschien wel de liefde voor rode wijn van Neil Diamond. Al kennen sommigen het nummer misschien ook van UB40 of Bob Marley. In het nummer wordt rode wijn genoemd als de remedie tegen liefdesverdriet. Red, red wine. Go to my head. Make me forget that I still need her so. Red, red wine. It's up to you. All I can do, I've done. But memories won't go. No, memories won't go. I'd have sworn that with time. Thoughts of you would leave my head. I was wrong, and I find just one thing makes me forget. Red, red wine. Stay close to me. Don't let me be alone. It's tearing apart. My blue, blue heart.

Killer Queen -  Queen

Het wereldberoemde Queen stopte het wereldberoemde champagnehuis Moët et Chandon in het nummer Killer Queen. She keeps Moët et Chandon in her pretty cabinet. 'Let them eat cake,' she says, just like Marie Antoinette.  A built-in remedy for Kruschev and Kennedy. At anytime an invitation you can't decline

Hotel California - The Eagles

The Eagles houden ook wel van een glaasje, in ieder geval in hun teksten. Zo staan er meerdere referenties in Hotel California. So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" And still those voices are calling from far away. Wake you up in the middle of the night. Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California. Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place). Such a lovely face. They livin' it up at the Hotel California. What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise). Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice. And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device". And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast. They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

Bitter Wine - Bon Jovi

Niet echt een ode aan wijn, maar wel en mooie vergelijking van wijn en liefde. Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine I would drink of your river, it would always get me high What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine 

Beaujolais - Alan Parsons Project

Wellicht een onbekend nummer, maar Beaujolais moet toch wel een belletje doen rinkelen. Het is een wijnstreek in de Bourgogne waar mooie en soepele wijnen van de gamay worden gemaakt. Beaujolais goes straight to my head. Beaujolais puts me to shame. And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came. Beaujolais and I go crazy. Beaujolais I can't explain But it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain.
