Beyond your eyes
Having eyes on the baroque cemeteries is disturbing. Nalyssa Green is a young Greek singer who presents her first album, Barock (2010), as a place full of suggestive corners. Her mix of rock and baroque is so personal that you’d desire having discovered her earlier.
Your eyes have something to say, they try to take me away... carry me away, carry me away... Her desire to get carried away is well expressed in the song Your eyes like a desperate mantra. She does not realize that we are who fall to its temptation of faraway places. This is because the song is wonderful in melody and sensitivity. But she feels down and can’t see it that way. Indagattah shows her full of sorrow for the dull life. The clouds are the same they all whisper my name while I'm white as the snow in the gutter... And we all go to pieces in front an impossible love. Her voice trembles us as the echo of a loved one.
Cemetery goes deeper into the maze of pain. Her voice gets far from us and leaves us alone with a hypnotic arrangement. The piano strokes are energetic because she knows that life goes by. Suddenly, the guitar is back breathing the Thick air. Her good taste for rhythm and melody floats deftly. I fell into the land of dead and met the ones I've loved. Nalyssa is strong and writes with honesty. Loves expires is really hard. I do not need you because you're of no use. She’s implacable because she knows that life is our own responsibility.

Her music is herself and leaves no space for banality. She’s able to move us towards places that exist in our dreams. Let them eat cake makes us don’t want to wake up from all this truth. Don’t ever leave, Nalyssa.
