Quitterie - Gin it (Official Video)

« I helped my grandmother move houses a couple of years ago. She had just lost her husband and couldn’t bear to go through her old stuff in the attic so I went up to do it for her. I came upon her old vinyl machine and a collection of vinyl records straight out of the 60s.
When I played the Joan Baez record, it sounded really rusty, as if it was still stuck in 1963. It was a true experience during which I felt transported to another decade. I remember feeling profoundly nostalgic about an era I hadn’t even lived. » Valentine Godard

The melody that was chosen was inspired by this time period, with a jazzy-soft sound.

Lyrics

Is it too late to ask
That I wanna be young in the 60s
An old radio blasting the 50s
And Joan Baez singing in my patio
Got a rock and roll band
Award winning records
Caus’ I live in a voodoo land

Oh gin it, gin it, gin it
Why can’t you sing it
My baby’s got the blues

And oh the years sure have passed
Like a race car speeding to the finish line
There ain’t no way to make them mine
But the rock band still
Resonates in the hearts
Of the many who were present
Living in a voodoo land

Oh gin it, gin it, gin it
Why can’t you sing it
My baby’s got the blues
