Yesterday as I returned from the lab@upatras, I ran into some peaceful protest in olgas square (protests in greece are more than common ground since the unjustified murder by the “democratic” police state). The protest was about an attack with a war hand grenade (yes the ones that kill people during war) against an assembly of people in athens that were talking about greek army mobilisation. Thankfully the attack failed and no people were harmed.
Despite the fact that one may or may not agree with such protests or gatherings (and at that point I am quite sure that noone is in favour of attacking unarmed civilians) , there is one definite value worth mentioning at these protests! The music! Some of the tracks played I haven’t head them since I was in high school and I feel really youthful and maybe nostalgic about these times. In this post I present one of my favorite with great lyrics and instrumentation that I heard yesterday 
Instrumentation is quite amazing! Through its simplicity the song manages to create a really ongoing extroverted feeling that each individual identifies it differently! And what can I say about the lyrics… This song is a masterpiece for the greek rock era, that cannot be overwhelmed by todays “productions”.
The song is dressed by Paul Sidiropoulos’ [link] and Maria Fotiu [link] voices
some (freely translated) portions of the lyrics;
and how the new day shall arise when the errors capture (your) time?
and hot the new day shall arise when the lie lead the way?
draw a sun in the ceiling, talk with the night breeze and dance with your shadow, in a weak’s heart beat!
call your lonliness or march towards the streets of fire
If you are not greek and you have no idea about the greek language and the particular song, I would be very intrested hearing from you about my (flawed) translation. What did you understand?
