This piece is a variation of famous turkish poet Asik Veysel... He was an ashik, poet, songwriter, and a bağlama virtuoso, the prominent representative of the Anatolian ashik tradition in the 20th century. He was blind for most of his lifetime. His songs are usually sad tunes, often dealing with the inevitability of death. However, Veysel used a wide range of themes for his lyrics; based on morals, values, and constant questioning on issues such as love, care, beliefs, and how he "saw" the world as a blind man. Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım", translated to English: "I Walk On A Long And Narrow Road" is one of Veysel's best known works and is still popular among fans of Turkish folk music. This piece has also lyrics... I am on a long and narrow road, I walk day and night; I do not know what state I am in I walk day and night; The moment I came into the world, I walked at the same time At an inn with two doors I walk day and night. I walk even while sleeping, I am looking for a reason to stay I always see the ones that left I walk day and night Forty-nine years on these roads In the valleys, mountains, and deserts In foreign lands I make my way I walk day and night If deeply thought about The goal seems very far from sight While the road is only a minute long I walk day and night Veysel does wonder at this state Lament or laughter, which is right? Still to attain the distant goal I walk day and night
This is an exceptionally original and tasteful variation of Asik Veysel's song by Carlo Domeniconi and Mesut Ozgen has rendered it masterfully here...Inspires you to pick up the guitar at 3AM at night just to see that you can't play like this :)
25 years ago i heard this for the first time in my live. At that moment i lived with a guitar player who won the Manuel Ponce concour Mexico in 1994. More people know Koyunbaba which is a masterpiece as well but mister Domeniconi is a real painter when he creates guitarmusic. Like mister Mandela says ; Music makes me at peace with the world - this truly counts for this song.
This is definitely the best version...Mesut Ozgen has inspired me to put the long hours of practice to learn this fantastic piece. I actually like the Buddhist Sculpture as this brings about a universal feeling of peace.
Ehhh... this is so incredible, guys! The harmony is so close to Armenian music. Cheers from Armenian man. Screw politics, enjoy your life, appreciate culture...
This Turkish song by Aşık Veysel Şatıroğlu (d. 1973), is called “Gündüz Gece”. It means Day and Night. Veysel mentions he walks day and night on the “long and thin” path of life, “a shelter with double gates”... Veysel is referred to as not only a composer or singer but also as a “lover”, “aşık” in Turkish. The deep roots of his creations lie not only in Anatolia but also in the greater hinterlands of Anatolia: Turkish thought and culture of Central Asia. Aşık (Love) and Işık (Light) are related... Aşık Veysel was one of the milestone figures reminding and connecting us with these mystic concepts. When one sees Aşık Veysel songs’ lyrics, one discovers a great deal of symbolism and nested meanings of depth. Interestingly I have observed that even non Turkish speakers have the feeling and meanings of the songs correct when they listen to Veysel’s songs for the first time. What causes that?
This is so great! Perfect! I've been searching for this music for a long time, but i did not remember its name. I'd like to play this one in a distant future.
I'm on a long and narrow road On my way morning and night I don't know what state i'm in I'm on my way morning and night From the moment I came into this world Began walking at the same time In a place with 2 doors I'm on my way morning and night If ever it is thought of in depth It'll seem far away when it's seen The path is worth one minute in quantity Im on my way morning and night Veysel is confused at the state of this.... Some laugh and some cry To reach upto the place of object (the goal) Im on my way morning and night Uzun ince bir yoldayım Gidiyorum gündüz gece Bilmiyorum ne haldeyim Gidiyorum gündüz gece Dünyaya geldiğim anda Yürüdüm aynı zamanda İki kapılı bir handa Gidiyorum gündüz gece Şaşar Veysel işbu hale Gah ağlayan gahi güle Yetişmek için menzile Gidiyorum gündüz gece
No se puede comparar. Son sentimientos diferentes... Sería como intentar equiparar la maestría de las obras de Antonio López con las de Pablo Picasso, son esferas completamente distintas, diría que incluso opuestas. ¡¡Ambas maravillosas en su estilo!! ;)
I think that Jimi could think that he played it after some smoked fat joints and some other mixture of high souce thing in his blood so for sure he could dreamed of this accomplishment.
Buddha is neither related to the song, nor is a part of Anatolian Turkish culture. I presume we see Buddha here just someone wanted us to see it. Come on, what exactly is the point here showing Buddha for a long duration?
