Our tear is dry, dry - Giannis Poulopoulos & Despina Stavroulakis
According to a man who never made a commercial for Gillette Razors, Leo Tolstoy himself, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way". This may be true for families, but not necessarily for highly inebriated fellows in tavernas -- he seems unhappy in almost the exact same way as another fellow who we met in "The Sky is Closed" (the dude who was sitting at the glory table between barrels #2 and #3 and got up to do some Zeibekio dancing and shot glass tossing). This borachio doesn't toss a shot glass, but when he steps out, he busts moves that definitely ring a bell.
One of the outstanding features of this particular video is the mood -- apart from the bartender who has a very cute smile before he succumbs to the overall gloom, everyone seems to have the demeanor of a youngster who, for the first time, saw what happened when Bambi's mom and a hunter crossed paths.
The music is haunting and sad, the singing is wonderful and sad, the band is on-form and sad, and the lyrics are most definitely sad...
We went to bed early
and we lost our way
and the brokenness of life
we shouldered them
This is from the 1968 movie "The Little Runaway".
