Lionder in Athens

Hey, guys. Today I've got exciting news to share with you!!! My new song is out on YouTube and I am super happy to be able to finally share it with you!!! It's called "Can't Stop Dancing" and it's about someone who's in love and just can't stop dancing when he/she looks at the person he/she loves. "You've got a fancy beat and I can't control my feet" "I can feel your energy from the way you look at me" I had so much filming and editing this video. I filmed with my friends who really made the filming session wonderful and also a great friend of mine, Fay E. who danced in the video. It was a blast working with Fay E. once again, it is always a blast. I'd like to Thank DJ ANTIBASSIS for producing the music. Every time I work with Antibassis I have so much fun! I really have no words to express how much thankful and happy I am to work with him. He's a talented young music producer who's always eage

Hello, guys.. It's been so many days since I last updated you... Now, I'm listening to Suspicion by the amazing LP.. I heard this song yesterday on the radio and it has such a great and fresh sound combined with the great classic LP style... Is it summer? Well, now, I feel like it is. I'm not 100 percent sure but at least I think so. No worries in my mind, no more homework, no more exams, no more crap. I feel like I am finally breathing some air, if you know what I mean. I feel the need to just rest and not give a damn about anything. However, there are some upcoming shows for which I have to think about but at least I'm not gonna spend my whole day studying ancient Greek and Latin or history. God, I'm no more a slave of those bitches. And don't get me wrong, I love Ancient Greek BUT right now, at this particular moment of my life, I'm so SICK OF 'EM. sick, sick, sick. How are my days? I sleep late. I hate it. But I can't control it. Today I s

Hello, everyone. How are you? I hope you're well!  3 BOOKS OF FABULOUSNESS (what's that title though) 2 days ago I received 3 books that I had ordered and the happiness was real. The books arrived, I opened up the package and saw them in and the feeling of unpacking a box, which's inside, you know, is going to be great, is actually amazing. So, as I was unpacking it I would be the happiest person in the world. The books are written by Philip Pullman and are part of his trilogy "His Dark Materials". They are "Northern Lights, The Subtle knife and the Amber Spyglass. I've got now all of them.   First day of owning the books, I read 90 pages of the first book of the trilogy. Yesterday, I read 20 pages and so far it's absolutely wonderful. Now, I have 364 pages left to finish the Northern Lights. I'm so glad!!!!  Book Lovers Know I've been reading some books lately which I'm a big fan of. And I am a book lover. The world of a book can

Heeeeyyyy!! What's up?? Today, I arrived from my visit to Arvis and our stop by Keratokampos. Do you want to know what's going on? Follow me.. Arvi So, we found some great friends of ours in Arvi Village. Arvi is 90 minutes away from home. It's a small village with not much of popularity. It's a calm and friendly village in Crete.  Even though today was a really windy day all around our island, Arvi was not windy at all. Due to its geographical position , Arvi doesn't get as much wind as other villages get. It's calm and from what the villagers said, there's only one strong wind that takes place in the village once in 4-5 years. So, as you understand, the village is a calm, hot resort.   The beach was great and full of people, but the natives informed us that in the end of August tourists go away and everything is back to normal , without many people being around, just the few ones that live in there.    We had a great time with our friends t

Hola, everyone! Welcome to my blog life! Summer is effing here "Oh My God, what am I doing with my life" would say someone who'd do exactly what I do those days; NOTHING. It's so simple. I do nothing. I don't care about anything, I am a free person goddamn it. Okay, so the sun is hot, there is little wind, but nothing is going  to make me want to do something. I literally feel tired, I sleep and wake up late, I've got no responsibilities or worries and even though my life right now seems to be boring, it's complete. I don't ask for anything else, I just love the taste of this sweet little boredom .  Kaloi Limenes  My family and friends went to Kaloi Limenes for almost 2 days and it was absolutely fabulous.  My family and Ks (the name of our friends) go there for camping since 1990 or so. It's like a tradition to meet all together and have fun on that place. It's been 4 years since we last went there but everytime we go, it's absol

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog life! My name is Leander (Lionder) (anyway) and today I'd love to talk to you about two of my recent visits; Matala & Knossos Palace. Are you ready for the ride? Enjoy! The previous Wednesday we paid a visit to Matala and Knossos Palace with my family and friends. It was just wonderful! I've got so many memories that I'd love to share with you and some pictures among them.  My friends K and M arrived in Crete for holidays some days ago so we took the chance to guide them to some wonderful destinations. We had so much fun together!  1st Visit: Matala We woke up early in the morning to get ready for a 2 hour ride. The journey was comfortable and, of course, full of endless conversations that I loved between my family and friends.  We arrived in Matala and parked our car in their parking lot. We walked down the beach and were amazed by its beauty. The first thing that we did was to explore the archaeological site which was th

Hello, everyone!  Okay, I've got exciting news for you!  My new song "Best Friend" is OUT NOW!!!  Hooray!  I wrote a song about one of the most important people in my life; my best friend, Katerina. She means the world to me and surely has played a significant role in who I am today. She is like a sister to me and I am like a brother to her. I love her so much so I wrote a song about her and released it on her birthday; on 2/8/2016.  Get to know us a little more.  We're friends since 2012 and since then she's always been a true, loyal friend to me. She's my soulmate and we both have a secret magic power. We can read each others' mind. It doesn't always work but it happens a lot of times. I also mention that on the lyrics of the song: I can write a whole essay about my best friend and I can write a whole album about her. So, I won't say more about her because you'll be reading this entry until tomorrow. Haha I would love

Hello, everyone!  My new song is out now!  Go see it, download it!!!  http://lionder.bandcamp.com/track/hot-outside Hooray, I am so happy.  A little story about it. I wrote that song the previous summer and the first person that got to listen to it was my brother. This year, after having my song "For Peace" remixed by Antibassis, I asked him to help me with "Hot Outside" and he gladly did!  Video Shooting I asked a friend of mine and my best friend, Nick, to help with the video shooting and it went pretty cool.    The first video shooting day, we spent 4 hours because we did it in beach full of people who would cross the way in front of the camera so we had to wait and try again, wait and try again, wait and try again. Even though it was a tiring process that didn't really ended with a lot of footage, video shooting with your friends is great. I mean, when I'm all alone, I don't have fun at all.  I try to stay focused and when something

Hello, everyone!  I've got exciting news for you!  1) My new music video is coming out tonight.  (I'm not going to talk about that until then) 2) And the live shows were great!! Yeah! Remember when I invited all of you to join our first live performances with Fay E. at the 1st Street Art Festival and the 2nd Music Festival? Well, it went great! There were so many people who came and we had SO MUCH FUN. It was literally one of the few times that I had fun while I was singing. And no, don't take this the wrong way.  What I mean to say is that all of the other times that I was singing in front of a crowd, I had anxiety and that wouldn't let me enjoy the show. I was always in an intense mode and It was never a very enjoyable moment. Of course, I always had fun but that fun would come afterwards. While I was singing, I wasn't able to relax and feel the moment. But the past 2 days of me singing live with Fay E. were amazing. They taught me alot.  Anxiet
