Tender Gravity (Lyrics by George Polyhronakos) Sweet glow mirroring life, the poets know Watching faces, escaping time is misplaced Now blue, yellow or red, when black it’s New We are shaping the stakes Phases & shades leading paths to our fate Orbiting dances flow with high tides low in this tender gravity, Moving in space till dawn when light is born, playing games of hide & seek It’s half, crescent, It’s full, so recent In darkness we see only stars & heart kept secrets This haze high in the clouds of hidden light, Looking into the core all for the times when we live in the night It’s half, crescent, It’s full, so recent In darkness we see only stars & heart kept secrets Sweet glow mirroring life, the poets know We are shaping the stakes, phases & shades of faith in kindness burning lights But always there, sky friend to share Yes always there, in gravity So near, so far, so loved to be, always there

Rendezvous With A Farewell (Lyrics by Lisa Young) I wish you well in away But it’s farewell, fly away Alone and so familiar We’re cornered by the path of a life I’ll never know if it’s right For there’s no truth, but tonight Just meet me at the corner For our rendezvous You’ll go your way every time And I guess I’ll choose what is mine There’ll always be a reason To follow on and not stay behind I’ll never know if it’s right For there’s no truth, but tonight Just meet me at the corner For our rendezvous Just tonight, just for love Rendezvous, then farewell…..

B.B Queen (Lyrics by George Polyhronakos) B.B Queen, oh my Queen Flower bloomed, smile of spring Red bud rose in mist of blue Felt your beat while in womb With eyes shut hummed this tune Loving you up to the moon Tiny feet learned to walk Velvet hands led first talk Fun & games in age carefree Woman now, happened fast Swing thy wings to sky vast And Fly Dazzling sun, gusting winds All weather flow, bet for wins Reflect in myth of Icarus And his airborne doom .............................. Quick a world, cyber slave Hooked on screens, soul must save Hold on to that child within What may wrong, what may right Staying true, lonesome fight Worthwhile to remain yet free Life time one, unknown span Wide belief, fits some plan How Fool Sense deep love to create Find who you are, rule your fate Be fair so brave but do no harm How is that for charm ? ................................. B.B Queen, oh my Queen Flower bloomed, smile of spring Red bud rose in mist of blue What may wrong, what may right Staying true, lonesome fight Worthwhile to remain yet free It’s o.k, it’s o.k If you stumble someday And Fall What's defeat, what is gain Wisdom of time, sorts out vain Keep open mind & move along Clef is of this song Echoing a love supreme

about

Twenty three years after his first album “Blink”, George Polyhronakos returns with his latest album “Tender Gravity”, involving 48 distinguished Greek & 2 Australian musicians to an unprecedented, collaborative & diverse music venture.
"I envisioned this collective project for over 15 years. Multiple “real life” priorities kept postponing it until the extended Greek lockdown (2020-2021) came along. Contrary to the harshness of that period, the long self confinement evolved into a, much needed, creative escape. Almost 3 years in the making, I now consider this work as my best ever."
