from Oannes *

Δεν είναι φυσικά “το καλύτερο” τραγούδι που έχει γράψει Σταύρος Ξαρχάκος, εκλεκτό μέλος του March born club και μεγαλύτερος εν ζωή Έλληνας συνθέτης. Eίναι όμως το δικό μου αγαπημένο για “βιωματικούς” λόγους – ένα τραγούδι που δεν παύει να με συγκινεί από παιδικής ηλικίας. Η Φωνή του Ξυλούρη δεν είναι άμοιρη ευθυνών γι’ αυτό.

✻

This is not “the best” song written by Stavros Xarhakos, prime member of the March born club and greatest living Greek composer. But it is my favorite for “nostalgic” reasons – a song that never ceases to move me since childhood. Xylouris’ Voice has much to do with that.

Enjoy!

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the song!

* 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!
