it's understandable why so many versions of this song interpret it as being very slow and mournful-it is literally inscribed on a gravestone. that being said, i feel like this interpretation makes way more sense for a song whose opening lyrics are something like "While you live, shine / have no grief at all". it's not just "remember, you will die" it's "you're going to die one day, so embrace joy in the now". why wouldn't it be a happy song!
Ελληνικά (Greek) Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν τὸ τέλος ὁ xρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ. Spelling Oso zes fenou Me then olos si lipou Pros oliwon esti to zin To telos o chronos apete. Αγγλικά (English) As far you live, shine... Dont be sad... Cause life is short... And time demands an end. A tribute of Seikilos to his beloved Efterpi (wife/daughter/sister/) that died. Or as we say in our days YOLO.
This song is still appropriate today, While you live, shine, let nothing grieve you, For life is short, and time will demand it's due. To me this means... Make the best of the life you have, shine, don't live in sadness,. For time will demand it's due.
I am in awe. Their rendition, although a bit modernized, breathes new life in to this song which is one of my favorites! Beautiful. They are very talented.
Very beautiful interpretation! I really enjoyed it! I'm still very amazed that you are playing a piece that's over 2000 years old and that I can listen to it today. Truly magnificent! (:
Não me canso de rever esta apresentação linda! Lindo arranjo vocal e instrumental! Os timbres dos instrumentos nos remetem aos sentimentos de Seikilo e da sociedade grega na antiguidade. Parabéns Yerco e Kuan!!!!
Gracias a ti! Ya que es el apoyo de las personas que nos siguen que podemos continuar viviendo de nuestra profesión y trabajar para seguir subiendo contenido, creando más arreglos y música para nuestro tiempo. Casos de ambos desde Taiwan 😃🙏🏻❤️
Melhor interpretação de Epitáfio de Seikilos! Tudo exatamente perfeito: instrumentos, vozes, ritmos, andamento e inclusive o figurino 😀 Tudo muito intenso e envolvente. Apaixonante! 💙🤍💗💚💛
Así es, confieso que es una de las pocas canciones que al practicarlas me emocionaba hasta el punto de asomarse las lagrimas. Gracias por comentar querida. Abrazos de ambos desde Taiwán. ❤️
dear fellow fans of this song, i have a challenge. remix this pls but still this is good but do it or get slimed but AMAZING thx for bringing this "love?" song back just its melody is so good and the lyre kinda sounds like a guitar or a Banjo
Esta versión es bellísima. Conocía sólo la de Corvus Corax, que es mucho más dolorosa, y creo tocada/cantada en un modo distinto. Esta me ha gustado mucho, y por lo menos *hoy*, me parece que va mejor con el sentimiento de la lírica. Excelente trabajo (y gracias por el español!) Pregunta, hay forma de conseguir una versión de audio de ésto? gracias!
Mucha gracias por tus palabras y compartir tus sentimientos con nosotros. seguramente saldrá un album el año que vienen que incluirás nuestro arreglo. Por ahora si quieres puedes pasarte por nuestro Spotify (YK band). open.spotify.com/track/2PjUwgcY0NmHuyFZSmPByh?si=TafAErk1TpKqlf_wdvzX8g En nuestro canal esta toda nuestra música publicada hasta ahora. Abrazos de ambos. 😘
You are great, your voice, your play everything! But just one comment (constructive I think) don't laugh while you are singing. It is an epitaph, a song that a broken hearted man wrote for his deceased wife, and the lyrics do also denote sadness and vanity.
Hi dear, 😃 Thanks for your comment, but you're really out of context. I'll explain you; Do you know what the real name of this song? Not. Nobody knows. It's always known as "the epitaph of Seikilos". But thinking like that is a mistake. The song maybe could be called "while you live shines" Ὅσον ζῇς, φαίνου. That is a phrase from the song. So, it's precisely the smile and happiness of our arrangement of the "Seikilos Epitaph" makes it special version. This song was discovered in an epitaph, does not mean is a funeral march. Also, could be a cheerful way to say goodbye to a person you love. In this video, the audience is singing with us; while you live shines. The words and feelings of the music should not be tied to the conditions of the messenger. A warm hug. And thanks again ❤️
@@YKband Hi! Thanks for your answer. I am greek so I know very well what it means. It means in an abstract but accurate translation " live your life as much as you can, because you will die one day" and he writes it full of regret that he did not do so, and now his beloved one is gone. Anyway, I guess that if it works for you like this, you know much better. It just did not work for me when I heard the words accompanied with a smile. Best wishes and stay safe!
And just one minor addition. As you said noone knows the name but it was called "the epitaph of Seikilos" because it was found on the tomb of Seikilos wife written by him.
2000 years later and this song still being performed.
Seikilos would have been proud of his accomplishments.
The lyrics to the song were written on a women's grave stone by her husband how succeed her. His name was Kilos
I have been ill will pneumonia and COVID-19 and this song has lifted me out of a dark place. God bless you 🤧🤗😘

Are you aware that this is the oldest music piece we have? 1800 years at least.
I am in awe. Their rendition, although a bit modernized, breathes new life in to this song which is one of my favorites! Beautiful. They are very talented.
I closed my eyes and for a few seconds I was in the dales of Arcady. Wonderful!
Mozart's been pretty quiet since this dropped
Very beautiful interpretation! I really enjoyed it! I'm still very amazed that you are playing a piece that's over 2000 years old and that I can listen to it today. Truly magnificent! (:

Hello, @YK band! I was studying music history and found you. I don’t know this instruments. Could you tell me their names? I will appreciate. Thanks.
