from Evripidis and His Tragedies (LP), released March 19, 2007
When I died I was at my best friend´s house,
we had gathered one more time to drink the night away.
Evi was dancing alone, Jim and Olive snogging,
there was Alex dressed in drag,
Christine and Lena giggling
but it was really late and I was really tired.
I slipped away listening to their voices
and I was smiling.

When I died, they had a party in my parent´s garden
with barbeque and paper cups
and loads loads loads of wine.
Panos got my mummy drunk
and Sofie danced with my father,
Marina made killer vodca shots and our David was djing
he played my favourite song, "Teenager in love".
They knew I´d be all right
so no-one shed a tear
and I was smiling.

When I died they buried me in hillside
facing the sea, away from the cemetery.
The first months my friends were coming
to have pick nicks there,
they´d get stoned and they´d get drunk
and would tell me
all the hot new stuff about town.
Now only field mice are playing around me
but I got sea breeze, open skies
and I am not afraid of time anymore
so I´m smiling,
I´m smiling,
I´m smiling,
I´m smiling
...´cause I will rise, I will rise, I will rise again.

about

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
