Να Μ’Αγαπάς- Παύλος Σιδηρόπουλος

Μη με παίρνεις τηλέφωνο, πάρε με αγκαλιά

Από τότε που με πλήγωσες δεν είμαι κομπλέ δεν εμπιστεύομαι κανέναν και καμία ποτέ.

Wang - Μείνε για λίγο

Μ' αγαπάει όπως αγαπάει τα ξενύχτια Όπως τις έρημες λεωφόρους τη νύχτα...

-λεξ

"Μ' αρέσει το σπίτι που φτιάξαμε" σου 'πα και γέλασα

Και λέω το σπίτι, μα δεν εννοώ το διαμέρισμα

-Bloody Hawk, Miami 2

Κάποτε αναρωτιόμουν αν θα μ'αγαπήσει αλήθεια

δεν είχα φανταστεί

Happy November 17th with music!!!

Greece has three national holidays; March 25th, the Independence Day, October 28th, the ΟΧΙ (No) Day aaaaand November 17th, the Polytechneio Day.

In fact, November 17th is considered a semi-national day, as it doesn't commemorate an ethnic uprising against some foreign oppressor or invader but the political intranational uprising against the Colonel Dictatorship of 1967-1974. It is the anniversary of the revolt that took place in the National "Metsovion" Technical University of Athens (Εθνικό Μετσόβιο Πολυτεχνείο - Ethnikó Metsóvio Polytechnío) by its students in November 1973. (Greek Polytechneia are high education engineering universities, so they are not the equivalent to technical schools.) The uprising was the most impactful anti-junta movement in Greece - students commandeered the University, operated a radio station and started protesting against the junta and spreading effectively the message to the Greek people, who started gathering around the school. Their effective protests harmed the dictators, who sent the army to surround the university and threaten the students. While the students and the junta were still in negotiations, the army broke the academic asylum, a tank demolished the gates and soldiers invaded the school. During the episodes that ensued, there were 40 deaths and more than 2,000 injured reported. The Polytechnic movement did not bring down the junta, however it was a crucial contributor to its weakening and to the spread of awareness against it across the globe. (The dictatorship eventually fell about half a year later, during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, in which Greece failed to provide significant assistance to Cyprus or even protect its own interests.)

The spirit of the university's revolutionaries as well as the general hardship Greece went through in those seven years were the inspiration for a lot of great artists, particularly poets and musicians, and birthed numerous classic Greek songs. Below are four of my favourite ones, from the many that became symbols of this era, and are today sung by school choirs across the country!

Ὀταν σφίγγουν το χέρι - When they clench their fist

Ο Δρόμος - The Road

Θα σημάνουν οι καμπάνες - The bells will toll

Είμαστε δυο - We are two

Lyrics of the last one in English:

We are two, we are two, it's eight o'clock, turn off the light, the guard knocks, they'll come again at night one in the front, one in the front, and the rest will be following him, then silence and what follows is the usual again. They hit twice, they hit thrice, they hit one thousand thirteen times, you are hurting, I am hurting too but who is hurting the most, only time will tell.

We are two, we are three, we are one thousand thirteen, we ride the times, in time, in rain blood thickens in the wound and the pain turns into a nail. (x2)

The avenger, the saviour, we are two, we are three, we are one thousand thirteen.

Get your tymbana 🥁 out and let's get wild to a traditional Cretan song!

Και αν οι μέρες περάσουν

Και οι συνθήκες αλλάξουν

Εγώ θα είμαι στο κύμα βράχος

Θα πιστεύω σε εμάς..

Κι έχεις χαθεί, μαζί με τον ύπνο...

Iratus- Μόνιμα Πρόστυχος (Eminem’s Superman cover)

Βγες λίγο είναι σημαντικό.

Και εγώ έκανα βόλτες στο σαλόνι τα χαράματα μετά τις κρίσεις πανικού φανταζόμουν κύματα

Ό,τι αγαπώ με πνίγει λίγο πριν να κοιμηθώ
