“Η χαρωπή και ευχάριστη μελωδία δημιουργεί μια όμορφη και ρομαντική ατμόσφαιρα. Τα απόλυτα ταιριασμένα φωνητικά εκφράζουν τόσο επιτυχημένα τα συναισθήματα τους. Η ξεχωριστή χροιά τους και το πάθος τους μας ξεσηκώνουν. Ο ρυθμός δεν σταματά να μας διασκεδάζει και να μας μεταφέρει τη θετική του ενέργεια με το κέφι και τη ζωντάνια του.”

Lyrics of Piper Leone – Joke’s on Me
I told my friends “I’m done with him,” and I told myself that too Put the pictures in a box on a shelf in the closet behind some bags and shoes
But maybe it was just cuz you were out of sight that you were off my mind Cuz when you asked to take me out for drinks to catch up I thought I’d be fine
But I can’t help, now that I’m here seeing your eyes through a couple beers, Forgetting common sense and thinking this is when you change Cuz you’re still funny, you still know just how to make me lose control And babe I guess deep down I know that you’re still playing games You’ll make me fall again and then you’ll pay the tab and leave So the drink’s on you, but the joke’s on me
Neon lights and hazel eyes and that smile I know so well They mix up strong, I’m already gone, I know tomorrow I’ll have the hangover from hell
Cuz I’ve been down this goddamn road way too many times I should turn around but I’m flooring it through every red flag and light
But I can’t help, now that I’m here seeing your eyes through a couple beers, Forgetting common sense and thinking this is when you change Cuz you’re still funny, you still know just how to make me lose control And babe I guess deep down I know that you’re still playing games You’ll make me fall again and then you’ll pay the tab and leave So the drink’s on you, but the joke’s on me
Did you know what you were doing, did you plan it out this way? Did you just come here to leave and watch me wishing you would stay?
But I can’t help, now that I’m here seeing your eyes through a couple beers, Forgetting common sense and thinking this is when you change Cuz you’re still funny, you still know just how to make me lose control And babe I guess deep down I know that you’re still playing games You’ll make me fall again and then you’ll pay the tab and leave So the drink’s on you, but the joke’s on me Yeah the drink’s on you, but the joke’s on me

Lyrics of Varvarip – Warriors | Bargaining
There once was a warrior With a bright and shining armor Well, he walked so tall and strong With his feet on the ground
A life of death had the warrior Many scars upon his face So he forged the metal To hide his fear and shame
One day he met with a warrior A cloak of rubber was her shield Well, her beauty was known But her heart was closed and sealed
When she laid eyes on the warrior She looked deep within his soul Well, they got closer but their armors would clash They had to let them go
He took off his helmet and she raised her hood Just one look to see what’s inside Afraid to be seen by the rest of the world They felt safe in each others eyes
Soon new adventures would drift them apart A mission so far to the East So he wore his armor back on and he left But her eyes he could never unsee
He wandered through tropical forests afar Forty days and forty nights She sailed for a deserted island In a sea so deep as the clear blue skies
When he returned holding his sword at hand Well her face had faded away But she never forgot him And it was a matter of time till he’d seek her again
And so One other day they would meet in her island at sea He would sing her this song to explain Then they’d spend every night under stars shining bright Making love holding each other tight
Just one boy and a girl walk the streets hand in hand Running barefoot and dance in the sand No one knows how their story will end But for now it is time to see for themselves

Lyrics of The Innocent Bystanders x TAVIA – Whiskey & Tears
Drunk again all by myself I’m strung together by the whiskey and the tears you left me in
I can see you with her holding hands down by the water where you told me that you would never leave
Here I am all by myself Holdin’ the dog you left me with while you go and figure it out
If I would have known that we wouldn’t be together I wouldn’t waste myself on someone who loves to leave
(And) I could stay at home missing you and drinking alone it’s easier to cry then move on
I haven’t been myself in days and (And) I’m tired of feeling this way wishing you were just a dream… it’s better to lose you then me
Now I find myself sittin thinkin bout tomorrow and I’ll put it all away for tonight
And I’ll throw on that red dress you always hated me wearing And I’ll stop wasting my time looking back
I wonder what you’re saying and I wonder what you think of me I gotta work through all this questioning
I traded you in like a bad habit but you we all know that you can’t chase your whiskey with a bitter memory
(And) I could stay at home missing you and drinking alone it’s easier to cry then move on
I haven’t been myself in days and (And) I’m tired of feeling this way wishing you were just a dream… it’s better to lose you then me
