I honestly have no idea whether it is true or what it might
mean, but here it is: there must be some genetic predisposition towards a
certain type of melody. One of the little joys of driving on Turkish roads was
the chance to listen on the radio to music you would never hear at home. Two catchy themes kind of grabbed our
attention and remain in our minds even today, more than three weeks later.
My son O. and I like Işın Karaca’s (pronounced Ishin Karaja) ‘Az bi mesafe’. T. and O's twin brother J. say they like ‘Harika’ by Ozan Doğulu (featuring Ajda Pekkan
& Kenan Doğulu) much better. Of course, we know not what the lyrics of
either actually mean. ‘Harika’ means ‘wonderful’, while Işın Karaca’s song
appears to mean something like ‘Less far’, ie, ‘A little closer’ (?). The
choreography/design in both clips reminds me of many other European and American bands
and/or soloists, and Işın’s in particular rings a bell, but I cannot recall which
one it might be. Any help would be much appreciated!
Az bi mesafe
Which one do you like best (if any)?
