Out of my head

Here is a lovely version of the song "Out of my head" - written by singer/songwriter Kieran Goss from Ireland - sung by Dimos Kasapidis. We recorded this song in beautiful May 2014 in this picturesque green spot called Pnaka (with a phantastic tavern and fresh waters from a well) high above the north coast of the island.

"Believe" - Song about Samos island



"Believe"

A song by singer/songwriter Ad Vanderveen from The Netherlands.  It's about his feelings of the timelessness of the landscapes found and experienced on Samos and the thought, that the old philosophers, writers and astronomers, the wise men of Samos, saw these same landscapes more than two thousand years ago too.

"Written on the island of Samos, Greece, thinking of the wise men who once lived there and devoted their lives to first-hand knowledge and proof of things we may believe, and build on in daily life today" (liner notes by Ad Vanderveen).

Here is the video for the song:



Song taken from his album "BEAT THE RECORD", released in March 2014.
