In this composition, I drew inspiration from a beautiful piano arrangement featured in the Hip hop song ''Meta/After'' by Taf Lathos. I am deeply grateful to Taf Lathos for inspiring me to protect and enjoy my creative works, including art.

For your reference, you can find the original track ''Meta'' by Taf Lathos on YouTube via this link: tinyurl.com/taf-lathos

A few words about my project:

My latest composition takes the listener on a journey from an imprisoned state to the deep darkness before the ultimate and unlimited energy of a free spirit body. This piece represents the first station of my internal journey, expressed through a beautiful piano arrangement.

The composition features great breathing on its phrases, different types of rhythms (from largo to adantissimo), and varying depths of emotion, ranging from a feeling of closeness to the listener to the sense of vast distances.
............................................................................................................................................
Before you start listening to this composition, I recommend taking a moment to calm yourself and prepare for a relaxing journey from the outer to the inner and deeper parts of your existence.

Thank you for taking the time to appreciate my work, and I hope you enjoy this composition as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Στο κομμάτι αυτό περιλαμβάνω και ένα θέμα από ένα κομμάτι που με καθόρισε και συντρόφεψε για μία περίοδο, το ''Μετά'' του Ταφ Λάθος, σαν ένα ευχαριστώ και έναν φόρο τιμής για τις στιγμές αυτές.
...............................................................................................................................................
Σκέψεις για το έργο:
 Πως μία ύπαρξη περνάει από την δέσμια κατάσταση στην απελευθέρωση του από τα πάθη του;

  Σε αυτό το κομμάτι περιγράφονται, μέσα από την σύνθεση του, όλες αυτές οι σκέψεις και οι εμπειρίες σε στάδια.

 Όταν μία ύπαρξη καταλαβαίνει συνειδητά πλέον πως βρίσκεται δεσμώτρια στα πάθη της, οδηγείται στο απόλυτο σκοτάδι και πέφτει αρχικά σε μία κατάσταση χειρότερη από ότι ήταν, καθώς προσπαθεί να ελευθερωθεί.

   Σε αυτήν την περίπτωση υπάρχουν δύο ενδεχόμενα: Στο πρώτο ενδεχόμενο είναι το άτομο που προσπαθεί να ελευθερωθέι, μην διαθέτοντας τα κατάλληλα εφόδια να το κάνει, να επιστρέψει στην πρώιμη δέσμια κατάσταση του η να τυφλωθεί νοητά και να χάσει εντελώς την διαυγεία με αποτέλεσμα να καταδικάσει τον εαυτό του σε μία κατάσταση ατέρμωνης αρδάνειας. 

  Η δεύτερη περίπτωση είναι το σώμα να καταφέρει να ελευθερωθεί. όταν τα καταφέρει φτάνει σε μία κατάσταση που το σώμα του γίνεται πλέον το ίδιο ένεργεια.

I’m still in love with you. 

We haven’t exchanged thoughts in…a while. Feels like days have escalated into years it seems. Even though you probably won’t see or hear this…how are you? Are you well? Have you met someone who’s soul matches yours?

I just woke up from one of those “real” dreams just now. Y’know the ones that almost feel like they happened in real life? The ones so vivid, your brain confuses it as a memory of some sort. Yeah, one of those dreams. It was one of those dreams you wake up from and think “Damn…but it felt so real!” …I hate those dreams. But I can’t help but love them too. 

Also, I… don’t think I’ve ever seen myself that happy before….it was actually quite the awkward experience. Then again, maybe it was just weird seeing us together.  Waking up, my heart has never felt so fragile and strong at the same time… it was interesting to dwell upon so I made this song to remember the feeling.

I remember reading that you can only know how much you truly love someone until they’re gone. It makes more and more sense now that I think about it. 

To me, falling in love is a lot like falling into a crack in the earth. As soon as you fall, you freak out but… at the same time you accept it. Before you know it, you’ve reached the bottom. It felt like you were gonna die but, surprisingly you survived. 

When you look up, theres a fine line of light representing who you used to be. Do you choose to stay? Or attempt at climbing back up?

Choosing the latter never felt so bittersweet. 
I hope your doing well, in my dreams we may meet. 
…maybe please. 

Goodnight.


I’m still in love with you

<I>"And some there be who no memorial have;
Who perished are as though they’d never been.
For our tomorrows their today they gave,
And simply asked that in our hearts they'd live.
We heed their call and pledge ourselves again,
At dusk and dawn - we will remember them!"</I>
