We present another song by Giorgos Kasimatis that you will find on his YouTube channel.
Let's read what George writes about the song:
«Those Who Don't Live“ is a song against the times. The toil, the toil, the difficulty..... Concepts that describe situations that too often people today tend to demonize and try to avoid, seeking the easy way out. As the song goes, may the mountains have rolling steps, and the lean river have life jackets on its bank. A world without pain, without fatigue, without the possibility of failure. A world sterile, where the dream will only reach as far as the hand, and the meaning of life will be identical with mere existence.”.
Lyrics/ music: Giorgos Kasimatis
Those who do not live
The mountains have rolling stairs
No sweat, no sweat, no flip-flop, no twisting
And the river, on the banks of which are life jackets
To fall to cool themselves, not to get lost in the depths of the
The dream to reach as far as the hand reaches away
To be beautiful to the eye, and easy to forget
The day without dizziness, the night without meaning
Let not those who are not alive be killed, but they still exist
