from Oannes *

Εκτενές αφιέρωμα στον κορυφαίο ερμηνευτή που πέθανε χτες σε ηλικία 96 χρόνων θα έχουμε τον Αύγουστο, μήνα της γέννησής του

✻

We’ll have an extensive tribute to the great performer who died yesterday at the age of 96 in August, the month of his birth…

◼︎

❝ Take my hand,
I’m a stranger in Paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry eyed,
That’s a danger in Paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you
I saw your face,
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rarest somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There’s a chance that you care
Won’t you answer this fervent prayer?
Of a stranger in paradise
Don’t send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel’s arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more ❞

Enjoy!

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
