#herecomesthesun — Public Fediverse posts

@tc_morekindness @Tecumseh There's nothing in common with George Harrison's lyrics. The highly original lyrics Jaana Rinne wrote for the Clifters - both for their original tunes and cover versions - were quite controversial at the time.

The title of the song could be translated as "gesture language", and it's basically a song about infatuation. Much of the lyrics sound like stream of consciousness, with references to the hips of Elvis ("which knew how it works"), french kisses and the poetry of muscles. The part you hear as "sun sun sun" is actually "saa saa saa tuijottaa" - although one word is repeated three times, it can be translated as "you can stare" or "you're allowed to stare".

The Clifters started out with original material in the mid-eighties, but at this point in their career they recorded two albums consisting of cover versions of old 1960s hits, all done in similar fashion. According to Jiri Nikkinen's recent autobiography, they would have liked to concentrate on their original material after the first one, but their record company (co-owned by their lyricist, Jaana Rinne) had other ideas.

@Tecumseh An excellent version!

For many Finns, this George Harrison classic is perhaps better-known as the 1989 hit version recorded by a Finnish group, the Clifters:

The Clifters: Elekieltä (live version, 1989)

Musically, this version is closer to the original Beatles recording than Nina Simone's take, but the Finnish-language lyrics by Jaana Rinne are completely different.

The leader of the Clifters, Jiri Nikkinen, later formed his own Beatles tribute band, which does true-to-the-original versions of the whole Beatles repertoire.

"Sun," Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, 1904.

Pellizza (1868-1907) was an Italian painter known for a highly individual style called "Divisionism," which was a sort of cousin to Pointillism (lots of itty bitty dots), only Divisionism had the dots grouped to color theory, so they formed actual patches of color.

Living almost entirely in Italy, he was educated in Rome and Florence, among other places, before returning to his home town of Volpedo, when he started adding "da Volpedo" to his signature.

He struggled for recognition all his life; many times his works were greeted with confusion and dismissal. He did manage an important sale in 1907 but then his wife died suddenly, plunging him into a deep depression that led to death by suicide.

After his passing, publication of his art in various Socialist magazines in Italy and elsewhere led to to recognition he was denied in life, and now critics recognize him as a significant artist.

From the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome.
