Ten years had passed after the failure of Antonis Vardis’ 1976 first album. He was writing songs for others, but he was not assured in his voice to record a personal album. It was the singer Litsa Diamanti who encouraged him to do it.
In this album Vardis brilliantly mixed the modern and rock with the Popular Song (Laika). We will have here two songs on social subjects. The first is another favorite of our friend Katerina Siapanta, “All Your Life You’ve Been a Fugitive from the Dream” (Πάντα δραπέτης απ’ τοόνειρο), a great song about drug addiction and the distress and personal misery involved. The version here is acoustic and the second voice is by Christina Maragozi (Χριστίνα Μαραγκόζη) who participated in the album.
