Haris Alexiou is the queen of Greek song, a classically trained diva with a soul as big as the Aegean. This sort of "art song" (ie not a pop song) very often has magically crafted lyrics. There's lots more on YT. Try Aeriko , live, with Eleftheria Arvanitaki, or the furious gypsy tones of Eleni Vitali in Kivotos.
She is to my opinion the best singer ever in Greece, and important to mention about this song.... music and lyrics is hers...so it makes it even more powerful and emotional...!!
Jules Dassin, the American director of the film Never on Sunday, has said of her “I have heard the greatest singers in the world. One of the two or three best is Greek, and she is Haris Alexiou"
I love how you don't only pay attention to the voice or the performance, but also to the lyrics, the song in general and the whole package, which I think is the most important thing.. Thanks!
Panselinos means full moon the singer is Haris Alexiou like Alex iou it's about a woman getting old memorizing her young age when she met a man that hurt her and she is in an empty house but she likes the loneliness because she remembers and with the full moon she feels that she's with him
She talks about herself, how she feels and how much she miss her younger self, having all the memories and nostalgia, this is what's keeps her company now...
As the anthem of lonely people, I define this song because it expresses all of us who live alone and listening to it brings tears as we turn around and see our empty house and think that through it we spent very pleasant and unpleasant moments with people whose memory is no longer ours spread like dust on the furniture that we refuse to clean because then what else will we have to fill the hours, days and next years that we chose to live alone, unless...!
Most good Greek songs are from poems. Some of the poets were literary giants...Nobel prize winners. The lady singing here is considered by most to be best Greek singer.
Its about her younger life and the loneliness that time brings to all people. Its a poetic approach of the way the we see our self's through the eyes of our partner. Have a very nice day from Greece
Nous n avons-nous pas beaucoup d argent mais nous avons des musiciens, chanteurs ,poètes , écrivains magnifiques. Vive la Grèce de la culture.Merci monsieur!!!
