Let me tell you something guys, I’m writing this article in the beautiful city of Vancouver British Columbia and the view from my downtown apartment is . . . simply gorgeous! Now yes its sunny but its February here so its freakin cold. As I was looking out suddenly a beautiful song just popped in my head – red red wine by UB40.
Here is the Video:

You don’t understand how badly I can relate to this song. I heard it when I was in my pre-teen days and I can tell you one thing, they sure don’t make music like they use to.
Just to give you an idea, here are the lyrics:
Red, red wine
Goes to my head
Makes me forget that I
Still need you so
Red, red wine
It`s up to you
All I can do, I`ve done
memories won`t go
memories won`t go
I have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong now I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don`t let me be in love
It`s tearin` apart
My blue, blue crime
I have sworn that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong now I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don’t let me be in love
It’s tearin’ apart
My blue, blue heart
My Red Red Wine Point Of View:
See its time like this that I feel like a human being. We are all so caught up in this ‘rat race’ trying to do get our so called goals accomplished yet all we really need is to be at a beach with a glass of red red wine (and a case of wine under the hammock you are lying on).
I don’t care what anyone says, life is short and I love drinking – and if anyone’s got a problem with that then whatever – we are all going to be done someday, might as well enjoy each day to the fullest. So relax, screw other people, crank this red red wine song and take a nap or something.
Just like Barney Gumble from “The Simpsons” once said, “Just stick it to my veins!”
PS: If I find more nice chilling wine related songs, I’ll definitely add it here. Although I bet no wine song can top this one off.
