    Default Αντώνης Βαρδής - Antonis Vardis (7 August 1948 - 2 September 2014)

    Yesterday a great musician - composer passed away.

    Maybe some day I'll try to write my personal impression about his role in Greek music the last 35 years.
    It was a long long journey and in every Greek's lifetime has remained a stamp of some of his songs.
    The only thing that comes to my mind is that he was a lyrical composer

    So let's begin...

    Back in 1998 Remos was a young "unproven" artist with only a couple of hits.

    In his second album there was this "more than classic" song composed by Vardis

    So suddenly I saw you in front of me
    So suddenly you entered in my life
    ......

    So suddenly, so suddenly
    As you entered in my life, I’ll be afraid of
    Losing you suddenly


    "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
    You will never find that life for which you are looking.
    When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
    but life they retained in their own keeping"

    Maybe, maybe one day,
    You'll escape from the future that they made you (that was made/fixed for you),
    Maybe, maybe one day,
    You'll get closer to your hidden self,
    Maybe, maybe one day,
    You'll claim the life they seized (that was seized from you)
    Maybe, maybe one day,
    You'll exist only for me to love you,

    You will never find that life for which you are looking.

    You left me like a conquered city

    but I treated the pain to wine

    and when you didn't see me in tears

    you said that I deceived you terribly...

    You’re the cigarette which I hold

    and I’m thinking of lighting it up

    you are the habitus which I hate

    and I always thrash


    You’re the cigarette which I hold

    and I want you as my lie

    like the nicotine which flows

    through my blood

    Even if Remos recorded this one, I prefer Peggy Zina's live.

    And if you ask how I am doing

    I will say two lies

    The one, I don't love you anymore

    The other, I've forgotten of you
