The tone of your voice carrying this delicate song of self reflection on pains, regrets, and sorrows made you the architect of your new journeys ahead. Wonderfully written, heartfelt lyrics, and a warm voice accompanied by your gentle piano play.

Back for another listen. And added to my playlist and shared on Facebook. wonderful song, Chris!

canta e toca piano muito bem deus abençoe

great song!   it just happens that i completed 40 years of a project, so the song feels perfect on me!

I like the chords you've used, sounds nice

This is the end of an era long 
Where all familiar things lingered on 
And I held on to what had to go for long enough 
This is the end of an era long 

And with the end of an era gone 
And unfamiliar feelings beyond 
I know my goal is some way off but I'll carry on
Forgetting what held me back now I know
That none of it would get me far

Bring me to the light 
Unfreeze my soul 
Let me feel alive
Unseize control

Let a new horizon form
Let me leave behind what has been done 
Now's the time for me to face what I have ignored

All this time I've beat myself down
Reminiscing of a time before
People and the places I found 
That'll never come around for more

'Cause I won't progress 
If I don't learn the lesson I've been taught for long enough
All this time I've beat myself down
Reminiscing of a time before

It's how the end of an era goes 
When you can't tend to what never grows 
But I'll find hope somewhere far from all the things I lost
And see that what I've looked back at in sadness
Wasn't even worth the cost

'Cause In my long forgotten dreams
All the ones I love never leave 
We're all there in a clear lagoon 
Chugging drinks every afternoon

I woke up in sweat
And felt so much regret 
About the things we should've done
But I know it's just the end of an era long

Bring me to the light 
Unfreeze my soul 
Let me feel alive
Unseize control

Let a new horizon form
Let me leave behind what has been done 
Now's the time for me to face what I have ignored
This is the end of an era long

I wrote this track about coming to the end of a long period of being unable to move forward due to holding onto things in the past. It is about finally accepting that certain stories in life have their endings and understanding there is no use in holding on to what was not meant to continue, such as old dreams, old friendships or places that used to be home.

End of an Era

Birth name: Chryselios Chryseliou. Born and based in Liverpool. I'm a singer-songwriter, composer and producer. My main instrument is the piano which is my musical home but my music taste is huge, ranging from pop to rock to avant-garde so I love trying out different sounds.

I'm always open to collaborate with other musicians.
