about

During a long drive for a gig, we realized we share a tremendous passion for sea shanties, and Stan Rogers especially. Given that 'ΚΥΚΕΩΝΑΣ' is a sea-themed album, 'Father Wind' is our own little sea shanty, a sailor's prayer so to speak. It starts with him calling out to his higher powers for guidance, then he addresses the crew as an act of encouragement and willpower. We shot the video during a night shift on a fishing boat - yes, a REAL fishing boat- crew and all. It was a truly unique experience, and we think the video came out the same way. Actor Dimitris Petropoulos gives a fantastic performance as the strict yet fragile captain. This song speaks volumes about where we come from and who we are.

lyrics

Father Wind watch over me, so I may rise
Against the storm, blow away the rain.
Devotion.

Mother Flame shine over me, the sea is dark,
You cast away the fear of the unknown.
Intuition.

Fare thee well sweet land of mine, deep down I know
When to sail on and when to sail away.
Wisdom.

Lady Luck stay on my side, don’t let me down.
This endless blue is all I ask of you.
Freedom.

Our souls united, they merge into one.
This band of vagabonds we are: au revoir.
But I can’t hear you.
Stand fast. The wind is at our back, lead the attack.
I still can’t hear you.
Head on, against all odds we are the hurricane!
