Story behind the song
This began life with different lyrics (Crazy Love) and was popular with some, but Juri was not happy with his lyric, so he asked me to do alternate one. I am very happy too, because I researched Italy and other aspects of the song and really enjoyed myself. I was thrilled that, after choosing barley wine as the guy's tipple, I discovered that it's been used before in popular songs including one from Rolling Stones...so I guess we are in good company :)
Also, I heard Chris Maxwell singing on AndyF's page and just knew I had to get him for this song -- his vocal here justifies my belief that he is a wonderful, emotional singer...thanks Chris!
Lyrics
Alessandra
lyrics by dawn sinclair
music by Juri Rosenfeld
Alessandra, in my dreams
Nothing’s ever really what it seems
Tuscan beauty, so divine
Stole my breath like barley wine
Flaming sunset, hand in hand
Did we capture romance for a while
Eyes could mesmerise and hold
Turned each moment into gold
Now you’re gone, and all the colours turned to blue
Alessandra, you got me dreaming
Close my eyes and I can still taste barley wine
Alessandra, is this called living
Late September, sultry nights
Nothing ever really felt so right
I can’t recall how long it’s been
Nothing ever feels the same to me
Did the heavens need my girl
Or was she simply too good for this world
Who knows the secrets lost in time
I’m left alone with barley wine
yeahhhhh
Tuscan beauty, you got me dreaming all the time
Don’t know how to live without you
Left alone, you know I’m drinking barley wine
All I do is think about you
music solo
Alessandra, without your colours in my life
I 'm not living, I'm just dreaming
Close my eyes and I can still taste barley wine
Alessandra, I can’t stop dreaming
Alessandra, you got me dreaming all the time
Tuscan angel, is this living?
Close my eyes and I can still taste barley wine
Alessandra, I can't stop dreaming
