Dead Pretty (Music Video) - We Govern We

This is the first music video of the fabulous & lovely band "we govern we".

It stars Anna Karakalou and Panos Scourtis, who are the core members of "we govern we", as well as Kos Markatos, the song's producer and ever-so-slightly insane backing vocalist.

Making this video was a group effort by a lot of talented people offering their help for free, like Katerina Vlastari, whose work and support was invaluable.

The video was directed & edited by me (a much beloved friend of the band), and post-production was done by Red Studios.

The budget was limited to 35 EURO and 27 CENTS (more or less to the cent).

Please don't forget to tell your friends about us. And our friends if you run into them, in case we forget.

Tenderly

Such a sensitive sensation. I've been feeling so elated lately. Various reasons for that, I know, but for some strange reason the tenderness of my emotions is so easy to describe today.

I've only had a few hours to sleep last night, working on this editing of a music video I am doing, so maybe lack of sleep might explain my light-headedness. Regardless of that, in my drowsiness all day I have had this new-found clarity of perception that was also ignited by corny music (lurve that) and the strange weather we've been having lately.

Every thought, every memory that's been coming to my head, every idea and just about all of my actions today have been touched by goosebumps along my spine, as if a mysterious pair of lips has been stalking my every move, breathing a humid breath down my neck, along every single part of my skin. Several times I caught myself smiling for no particular reason and it's as if I got a rose tinted filter before my eyes. Sounds have been caressing my every step, be it music, be it the alarm going off in houses nearby (due to temporary power failures we've been having), a strange dog's barking, footsteps on the apartment upstairs, or even brown leaves dancing outside my window.

No alcohol, chocolate or drugs inside me. Still, I feel completely stoned, high on some unknown substance or potion I forget ever having taken. I swear I weigh less, or even I could almost levitate a tiny bit at certain moments during the day. And all this despite a strange little muscular pain on my lower back that's been unsuccessfully attempting to pester me. I am not in Love, not right now anyway, so I can't attribute all this to a sense of longing for something new. I've been alone for a while now, and can't say I am not afraid of the perspective of something new that might well (or may not) arrive. Complete strangers have been flirting with me and though I thoroughly enjoy the attention (a genuine Leo being that I am), I've been sheltering myself from any potential alien attempt at "breaking -in". So it's not Love that's getting me here.

What I do know is that something or someone out there, has mysteriously unlocked my old rusty lock, and fresh blood has been pumping into my heart ever since. That would explain this strange new substance inside me. I've been running on old, dark red for so long, I forgot what it feels like to have fresh, new, vibrant, fiery red fuelling my todays.

I like it.

Love may not be here yet, but I'll tell you this:

My gates are open, once again and spring cleaning is afoot. So who knows? Maybe soon I'll be flying again. Alongside cheeky little penguins.

About fucking time too.

True Love

This is how I hope my future is. Seriously.

Twirling Dream

I just woke up from the most unbelievably romantic dream I have had in a very long time..

I spent the whole time I was asleep in this afternoon nap (2 hours) being watched by you, cause Anna brought you to this place we gathered, as a ploy to set the two of us up and you were watching me, discreetly but closely as I was making a fool of myself doing various stupid things and failing miserably at them too. As the dream progressed, I felt worse and worse, cause to me it was obvious you hated the way I look, and you kept walking away. So every time I would see Anna I was almost ready to cry but she was ignoring me too, which only made me lose my concentration even more and completing those tasks became almost an impossibility.... But the funny thing is beautiful YOU also kept coming back, and kept smiling at me, increasingly more so the more foolish I became, and at the very end of the dream you pushed me inside a greenhouse filled with beautiful plants and myriads of gorgeously smelling flowers and we started twirling incredibly fast towards the other end. While we were twirling, all these soft branches and flower pedals were touching my face and my naked arms (and touching your face and naked arms too, as you kept your body pressed against mine, kissing me deeply, both our eyes closed) cause it was winter but in the greenhouse we were both wearing t-shirts like it was summer, and a thousand different smells filled my senses and a thousand different sensations, like your soft skin, the skin on your cheek brushing up against the stubble on my cheek, your hands caressing mine ever so softly, the flower pedals on my nose and ears, the branches brushing up against us, the flowers dancing around us, your angel-tasting lips, and you looking right at me though your eyes were closed, and me seeing all this happen though I was still twirling and kissing you with my eyes closed, and finally we stopped against the wall and you said to me "you make me fly"....

And then I woke up.

Technically this has been our first kiss.

Suddenly I See

I know by now I am psychotic, but this morning I reached an all new level.

Yesterday I spent all night dreaming about a song that I have obviously heard in the near past and my brain somehow clutched onto the melody and some of the words like my life depended on it or something stupid like that. When I woke up I just HAD to type the few verses I remembered into Google Search and it turns out it's the song heard in the credits of "Devil Wears Prada"...

Hmmm...

I have no words. And no, I kid you not.

It may have some significant mysterious meaning or a cryptic message for my future or my past or it might just mean I should stop eating chocolate before I go to bed.

Either way, enjoy the song.


(KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See)

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Tashan

Just got back from working on the filming of Tashan, the first ever Bollywood movie to be shot in Greece. The locations were in Milos & Nafplio. It has been one of my life-long dreams to work in a Bollywood film. So now, the other two remaining ones (aside from winning the Oscar & thanking the Academy) are to work in a Karate action flick and to direct a porn film...

Let's hope the universe is listening.

These 36 are my MOST FAVOURITE photos out of about 1250 I took while working @ the shoot.

Oh yes. It was fucking cold.

New Band

They are new. They are my friends. They are fantastic.

Go listen now.
