First-ever “Back to School Song” Brings Joy and Relief

First-ever “Back to School Song” Brings Joy and Relief –Thanks to Facebook!

Finally, a song for Back to School featuring Nantucket Island.

First-ever “Back to School Song” tells a current classic teen story in which Facebook requites unrequited love.

During summer holiday on Nantucket Island, Italian Boy and Preppy Girl savor one kiss before back to school rips them apart --perhaps forever, when boy realizes his mother has accidentally washed his Nantucket sweatshirt containing his iPhone and the girl’s contact info. Through Google, he tries to find his beloved, and finally Advanced Search comes through, allowing them to reunite on Facebook, Skype, IM, and iPhone.

The “Back to School Song” celebrates modern tech-tools, and underscores the E-social milieu whereby the Next Generation communes safely through Facebook, Skype, Instant Message (IM), iPhone, and iPod. Romantic and operatic, the “Back to School Song” is enjoyed by Next Generation and Oldies who appreciate highest quality music.

Sung by tenor Rio Guzman, music by Ayhan Sahin, lyrics by Ghia Gabriela Szwed, produced by Young Pals Records (BMI) of NY, NY in collaboration with G.G. Garth Productions (ASCAP) of Boston, Mass.

LYRICS:

We met and kissed just hours
before sweet
summer’s sea-side end
Not
a week
‘til school began.

Now you’re
back at boarding school,
Where
you’re so alone.
And I
in
my dusty
Tuscan home.

Promised you
I’d phone
The moment I got in
IM and Text and Skype!

No, my mother washed
my Nantucket sweat shirt!
My iPod and iPhone
are all wet!
Jet-lagged I slept
too deeply
in my bed.
No, can’t believe my mother drowned
Every summer number down
Only one girl resounds.

Bitter-sweet,
our lips met, and
Autumn winds arose
Magic days
That school deposed

Cherished your first name!
How’d I mispronounce your last?
I remember your town,
Your favorite class.

Hope that I can find my soaring girl
who looked into my soul!
Google? Interpol? Facebook, and Twitter?
Advanced-Search will be my home-run hitter!
Possible? True!
HEY, look, it’s really you!
Facebook came through!
Inbox me really soooon!
Next holiday’s with you!

 Tinatin - Wild(Arenna Mix) by Arenna 

In November 2003 Arenna group started a recent carrier, but some of the members has been working in electronic music productions for 5 years. Showing their independent songs in radios and clubs around São Luis, a city located in the northeast of Brazil, state of Maranhão, Arenna became notorious for their great remixes. "Ferveção" by Dj Victor Diniz and "I Hope Enjoy" by Dj Esteverson were big hits and still stimulate the crowd when its been played around brazil. This was the main idea that influenced Arenna's formation. Arenna developed their musical background in the Brazilian culture beats, this is a big opportunity to choose the best vibration to their remixes and 100% original songs. "In our music productions we try to express what's interesting in the culture of Brazil" - says Dj Victor. From this point, Arenna decided to have their own singer, Thais Diniz, Dj victor's sister. She joined the group since the beginning of 2004 but she has been singing for a long time. Like Dj Esteverson always says: "Thais is the perfect combination to arenna's productions." So, the passion for the electronic music is everything to Arenna, and all of this, comes with the idea to expand the frontiers of the music. Arenna open the door to a new brazilian sound. Come out and enjoy! ..
