[Greek] _______ Φώτιζαν τα μάτια σου Κι ας είχε συννεφιά Κάπου κάπου κρυβόσουν Αλλ' ήξερες ότι ήμουν κοντά [Albanian] _______ Zemrën time nuk e pe Vetëm sytë im mbi ty Nuk dëgjove si troket Kur mendoj për ne të dy [English] _______ Hide a smile darling While I pass in front of you Don't you see the joy you bring With all that aura around you [Vlach] _______ Amari vedu Amari tini Amari vedu Amari Amari

Hammers (Alternate mix) 04:35
lyrics
buy track
(Let your fear down) There’s a shadow in my mind It causes darkness everywhere And there’s storm and volcanos Big explosions everywhere (Let your fear down) But all these hammers are hitting still And I can’t recall how my skin feels In the sun (I let my fear down) I let my fear down And then I dived in this place Where you were exploring love I’ll keep you warm, babe As you continue Causing troubles more and more But all these hammers are hitting hard And I can’t hear your voice so far From here Let your fear down Let your fear down As I let mine Let your fear down There’s a storm here, and volcanos Big explosions from above There is darkness and closeness Two young souls exploring love But all these hammers are hitting still And I can’t recall how my skin feels In the sun.

Is This Enough? 01:59
lyrics

Is this Earth enough? Is this home enough? Is this thought enough? Is this love enough? Is my time enough? Is my world enough? Or should I steal somebody else's life? Somebody else's face Somebody else's job Somebody else's hate Somebody else's love Somebody else's soul Somebody else's life I'm already I'm already out of my world

You're Free (Alternate Mix) 02:00
lyrics
buy track
It seemed like a dream When I subconsciously lied Calmly and lightly upon you Finding my existence From my sea I was washed And left to breathe upon your sand Refreshing and wetting Your skin and what's beneath And then I let you free to sail Through the seas of my soul You're free You're free You're free You're free You're free You're free You're free You're free

Blame 06:49
lyrics

You made me rethink myself The quality of myself The goodness in myself The darkness in myself So I've changed two hundred percent I'm like the devil himself You search for someone to blame You thought I would do the same (You thought I would do the same) (You thought I would do the same) Memories You don't want to have Not an image, not a sound Nothing good to remember Nothing good to make you better (Nothing good) No, I won't find (You won't find) Nothing good to keep inside To keep inside Those flower buds in April And the ocean (The Poseidon) Those flower buds in April And the ocean, Mr. Poseidon And our traveler, The Voyager From this place of peace From this place of peace Where he hits all he can He hits all he can He hits all he can He hits all he can He hits everything around He hits all he can He hits all he can Everything he can So, leave fast! The midday sand And our King, The Sun When he smiles from behind those clouds (Nothing good, nothing good) When he smiles from behind those clouds (Little white clouds) (To keep inside) In this spring blue sky (Nothing good, nothing good) And those little white, little white (To keep inside) Little white spring clouds He hits all he can He hits all he can He hits all he can Everything he can He keeps ruining He keeps ruining He hits all he can Everything he can So, leave fast! So, leave fast! (Leave!) (Leave!) Is this what home is? (Leave!) Is this what home is? Hm?

The Calling 03:14
lyrics
buy track
The calling You won't even answer The falling Your heart plays the dancer Be quick! And don't forget the yogurt They think We'll be there in August I'm distant, you say Coldhearted and wild No one knows about those days When you were wondering Who dialed the number of help To get out of your hell But I can't speak about these Mad reasons why I freeze And his eyes are full of life And his smile brings all that light But I'm living in the black How to leave this comfort dark And you'll never understand Why you're banished from my land You're banished from my land

about

This is the second part of "Live from the Black Hole", the same-titled series of live sessions I hold on YouTube.

All songs have been re-mixed especially to be a part of this release.

Three of the songs are also tracks on the "Live from the Black Hole (vol. 1)" album: Hammers, You're Free and Εραστές (Erastes):
- The first two are an alternate mix of the tracks of the 1st album.
- "Πώς να δεις" (could you see) here is essentially the original whole recording of "Εραστές" (lovers) on vol. 1 album.

The Black Hole series started as an excercise I put myself into for practicing my live performance skills (alongside live recording and video shooting+editing skills). The goal was and still is: work with what you have and make the most of it: experiment and try to expand your limits.

From improvisations to carefully built music pieces, the options and the possibilities can be endless if you let your creative mind work only inside the defined limitating lines drawn by the gear you're using, or the type of music production software, or the camera model, or the instruments... or even the level of your skills in each required area (performing, producing or editing).

I'm happy to admit that I've found myself growing as a musician throughout this chosen model of practice and I still remain curious about what else I can do with this direction of experimenting live.

This album completes the first chapter of these Black Hole sessions (vol. 1 + vol. 2) which were performed and recorded live in Athens from March 2016 to June 2019.

Looking forward to recording the next chapter.
