Our compatriot and talented musician - lyricist Giorgos Kasimatis presents his new song entitled “Death and Love”, which was recently uploaded to YouTube. It is a deeply emotional piece, dealing with the concepts of death and love.
In the lyrics, Kasimatis presents death and love as two brothers who have ruled the world since antiquity. The images he creates are intense, such as when he describes death promising heaven and love offering shooting stars. The listener is transported to a world of tension, where passion and pain coexist in a mysterious balance.
The song takes off with its simple but powerful themes: the desire that is not limited by the universe, the anguish and desire that floods the body, the intensity of life that springs from pain. Kasimatis sings about the longing that pushes us to live and struggle, even when it breaks us.
The song closes with the promise that love is so powerful that it is worth sacrificing everything for it: “For his sake I was born, for his sake I sing, and if he wants it I sell my whole world for his sake.”

lyrics/ musicians: Giorgos Kasimatis
Death and Love
On the highest mountain on earth
I'm gonna go call it in.
Let the plains be turned upside down
To shake the world
Death and Love
ancient are brothers
One is looking at the sky
And the other one is shooting stars
The desire that was not enough
the universe to shut him down
"Slip inside my body, my little body
and it's cracked
When it breaks it will spill
what I long for
What hurts the more
That's how much I'll ask
For his sake I was born
That's what I'm singing about
And if he wants my whole world
for his sake I sell
