Kristi Stassinopoulou & Stathis Kalyviotis
A song from their upcoming CD NYN (Riverboat Records)

"Gia Mia Stigmi"

Three years on and we now get to hear where they will go next. I asked Kristi if we could preview a track for our readers, and here is what she and Stathis sent for you.

"We chose to listen to track four together. 'Gia Mia Stigmi,' meaning 'For A Moment,' is a bluesy, 21st century Zeibekiko dance-song in 9/8 beat, in which we used a distorted bouzouki, like most of the old laika songs. It is speaking about our grey everyday life, about dull thoughts, about anxiety and the struggle to survive in between all the difficulties. But then in its refrain, the song speaks about that door which can suddenly open in our mind for a moment and fill us with light and with the wisdom to put aside such feelings and become gods even only for one moment. To be living in that one moment is actually the main concept, the main idea, the main suggestion in our new CD NYN, which means NOW in ancient Greek."

Dull day Dull thoughts You live for tomorrow You live for yesterday Dust in your eyes Hides the illusion of everything around you Grey ideas Determine your grey fate The door opens for a moment You may get scared by the light For one moment everything changes Man turns into God Bowed again Without breath Running for something Not knowing what it is You have no time to feel How greedy your desires are Everything is a mistake Life slides through your hands
