What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

The last thing I recently searched for was a song on YouTube. I’ve started a new project and needed some inspirational tickling and push. I get this primarily by listening to music. Music is one of the strongest mediums through which I am emotionally touched and influenced, especially when music and lyrics are powerfully combined because not many songs have that quality. Some have great lyrics, but the music/sound is so lala or vice versa.

Before continuing my project this morning, I searched for a specific song that completely fulfills my demands for a good, inspiring song. That song is from Giorgos Sampanis, and its title is „Wild Sea.”

I must admit, Giorgos Sampanis is one of my favorite Greek singers; he’s a singer and a music composer. He doesn’t compose the music only for his songs but also for many other artists here in Greece. He’s a real talent, and what makes him more remarkable is, despite his talent, he doesn’t like to be in the limelight of the media, in particular the yellow press.

Here are the lyrics in Englisch:

Wild Sea

How do you want me to start?

What can I try to say about myself?

A thousand waves, all in one self

In the vortex

I’m looking to find peace and love

Keep me safe in a tough world

With a kiss of yours

If I only could change every fear deep inside me

so I won’t have a soul like wild sea

Tell me “I love you”

(and I’ ll) pretend to be invincible

and I’ ll become the ideal for you

I was born in the waves

My whole life is emotions

Mollify me in your arms

In your summers

I was born as a wild sea

And yet, within my chaos, I chose you

to mollify me in your love

To be your rose and thorn

How do I carry on?

What can I try to say about myself?

That you and I are the same deep inside

I was looking for you

when the night was flowing like cold water

Hold the fort for me, a real sandcastle

With a kiss of yours

If I only could change every fear deep inside me

so I won’t have a soul like wild sea

Tell me “I love you”

(and I’ ll) pretend to be invincible

and I’ ll become the ideal for you

I was born in the waves

My whole life is emotions

Mollify me in your arms

In your summers

I was born as a wild sea

And yet, within my chaos, I chose you

to mollify me in your love

To be your rose and thorn
