The exchange between the trembling ornamented motives and long lasting notes is the most characteristic feature of the song “ ETSI NOMIZEIS’ – “THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK” from the album “Akousa” ( 2008) by the composer Nikos Papadopoulos on the words by Nikos Vaxavanelis . This musical image is reflecting tearing heart poetic lines of the song. But there is one extra factor, which sheds a light on the somber musical and poetic symbiosis. This is a voice of Nikos Economopoulos.
The unique timbre of it contains ever shining sparks, which enrich the somber pallet of the song, filling it up with a new meaning.
The film director Alexandros Grammatopoulos in his video creates a perfect embodiment of this little masterpiece. He uses silvery cold color scale between dark blue and winery pink, his light effects are dazzling and trembling like mirages. Altogether it gives a twilight effect: something between light and darkness.
The brilliant idea of using graphics on the wall helps to unfold one of the main subjects of the song: the hero left by his girl still is talking to her in ever lasting inner dialogue and his answer to her advise of finding a new life is :”That’s what YOU think I should do!”
But for a loving soul it is not possible to start a new life straight away. The images she was drawing on the walls don’t suite the hero. He is full of life and passion. He lives, but he lives in the past. The broken glass (image of a broken love) is recollected back and is full of wine…In his imagination she drinks the love potion out of it . The visions of the past are surrounding our hero and don’t let him to make a step into a new life. But who said, that love memories are to be forgotten? The man has to have strength to go through the sufferings of a lost love to feel the live in full. The twilight turns out to be a dawn…
