The Spirit of Cretan Waves: Manolis Lidakis - Μανώλης Λιδάκης

An unofficial blog about the famous and marvellous Greek artist Manolis Lidakis. His albums, lyrics of his songs, latest news and his interviews will be here.

All about him, all from the eye of a little lost wave.

Manolis Lidakis Discography - 1986 - Zise Opos S'Aresei (Ζήσε όπως σ’ αρέσει)

"Ζήσε όπως σ’ αρέσει" (Live as you like) is the third album of Manolis Lidakis, recorded by Minos Music. I haven't met any lyrics of the songs in this album, and interestingly, this is the album that I can barely find any information about. Still in digging :)

From the sound it is easy to guess that this album is about desperate love, separation; about the sad face of love. Maybe I'm a bit exaggerating about this, but the romanticism and melancholism of the songs, and the accordingly-used instruments make me have no choice. In the first two albums, some of the songs were somehow rhythmic, or even having flowing backvocals. There is absolutely no 'allegro' songs, but touchy and impressive choruses. Don't take all these as a complaint, while this is absolutely the album one might want to listen in the melancholic times, which is sensitive, emotional and genuine.

Now, it is time for the tracklist. By the way, Pothos in number 10 is very catchy, and my favorite, while you can find yourself singing this during day :) :
