You cross the bridge it's such a lovely sight 
On either side men do
Things like smoke, and drink, and criticize,
Just like any guy
Who thinks he's better than the other
And on most days I barrel down the street
Just as guilty, of arrogance and absentmindedness 
That pulls me towards some silly task
Each meaning less and less 
But I still keep playing out these habits

And I don't want you 
To pretend you love me
The flame dies for most of us
Drinking tea alone
On the Bosphorus 

The city speaks in tongues that ostracize 
Foreign fables fright, harass too
With each new day that I spend wandering wide
All this aimless time only amounts to resentment
It's been so long since I've been honest and
Now alone again 
So distant from what we once shared
But when the truth runs dry just wipe your eyes
And embrace the lie
Reaching further for another's hand

And I don't want you 
To pretend you love me
The flame dies for most of us
Drinking tea alone
On the Bosphorus 

I guess I should've known
That this could never hold
All our expectations 
But we tried

Bosphorus

🌐 Disco 🅧 Քոչարի 🧿

Discotchari (a portmanteau of "disco" and the folk dance "kotchari") is the investigative musical journey of Zachary Asdourian and Anaïs Gyulbudaghyan; together they are pushing the boundaries of Armenian music produced in diaspora outposts and strongholds from Boston to Beirut, Montevideo to Marseilles and Santa Monica Boulevard to Sayat Nova Avenue. Functioning as a record label and performing act, they are passionate about under-exposed dance music born from immigrant communities and cultural waves around the world; their ultimate goal is to ensure Armenian music thrives in the global landscape of "international rare grooves" by supplying soundtracks that sway multicultural audiences and build solidarity through shared appreciation of irresistible songs. Additionally, they host a monthly radio show, promote events at renown local venues, and share physical discoveries on their YouTube and Instagram channels.
