Perfect Day Single – Susanna
SusannaSonata SONATA041 2018Susanna ‘Perfect Day’ feat. Giovanna Pessi, Ida Hidle & Tuva Syvertsen
The third single from Susanna’s upcoming album ‘Go Dig My Grave’ is Lou Reedās famous āPerfect Dayā.Ā
Kalimba, baroque harp and voice makes out the core of this utterly stripped down version of Lou Reedās classic song āPerfect Dayā. Fiddle and accordion adds tender texture, all centred around Susannaās melancholy rendition of a perfect day.
Cover art is the picture “Sprodromantis Lineola” by well renown graphic artist Arne Bendik Sjur, the artist has 50 years of experience and has kindly lent his art to pair with Susanna’s music.
āLou Reed is one of my favourite artists and I have been listening a lot to him, still it was Giovanna who suggested to play āPerfect Dayā, which seemed like a near impossible thing to do. The song is amazing, and so well established through the original version, it took quite some time to break free of what we know and make something of our own. It all came together after a nice dinner and a snaps.ā Susanna says.
