O Θωμάς Στρατάκης (Green Was Greener)
επιστρέφει με ένα υπέροχο single:
Emma
Δύο χρόνια ύστερα από το πολύ ενδιαφέρον debut "Introspective", ο -από το Ηράκλειο της Κρήτης εφορμών- Θωμάς Στρατάκης (Green Was Greener) επιστρέφει με νέο κομμάτι και -συντόμως- νέο δίσκο.
Το "Emma" είναι ένα απλά υπέροχο track, ακούγεται στο repeat, ξεδιπλώνοντας το πολυσυλλεκτικό και ξεχωριστό songwriting του Στρατάκη, και μας κάνει να αδημονούμε για την sophomore κυκλοφορία του, η οποία έχει ήδη όνομα και ημερομηνία άφιξης: "Love Divine" - 26 Μαΐού, μέσω της Inner Ear...
(και έρχεται να προστεθεί το "Emma", στη μακρά αγαπημένη μου λίστα με τραγούδια που στον τίτλο τους έχουν γυναικεία ονόματα, την οποία μια που το θυμήθηκα πρέπει να ανανεώσω - check 84 Τραγούδια με Γυναικείο
Όνομα στον Τίτλο τους).

Lyrics:
Emma had a child
Oh she had a baby too soon
Her dreams are not the same now
No horses in the wild for you
She married a broken man
A father by mistake
He had a tiny heart
But his hair looked great
She fell in love with him
She believed in everything he d say
The signs of time were there
But she did it anyway
Now look what you've done
(Oh what you've done)
You are all alone again
The kid got his grandmas name
So she had to act like her
A loving and caring lady
But she kept it all inside
It made her sick you see
The things you told her not to say
She kept it all inside
You only visit just to pray
Now look what you've done
(Oh what you've done)
You are all alone again
