Yanni (
A self-taught musician who continues to use the musical shorthand that he developed as a child, Yanni has blended jazz, classical, soft rock, and world to create predominantly instrumental that were not well suited for commercial pop radio and music television. Instead, Yanni achieved international recognition by touring, most notably producing concerts at historic monuments and by producing videos that were broadcast on public television. breakthrough concert, Yanni Live at the Acropolis, yielded the second best-selling music video of all time. Additional historic sites for Yanni's concerts have included India's Taj Mahal, China's Forbidden City, the United Arab Emirates' Burj Khalifa,'s Kremlin and Puerto Rico's El Morro castle
At least fourteen of Yanni's albums have peaked at #1 in Billboard's "Top New Age Album" category, and two albums (Dare to Dream and In My Time) received Grammy nominations. Through late 2011, Yanni had performed live in concert before more than two million people in more than 20 countries around the world, and has accumulated more than 35 platinum and gold albums globally, with sales totaling over 20 million copies. A longtime fundraiser for public television, Yanni's compositions have been used on commercial television programs, especially for sporting events such as the Tour de France, World Figure Skating Championships, U. S. Open Tennis Championships and Olympic Games. He has written film scores and the music for an award-winning British Airways television commercial.
Yanni has employed musicians of various nationalities, and has incorporated a variety of instruments from around the world, to create music that has been called an eclectic fusion of ethnic sounds. Influenced by his encounters with cultures around the world, his music is said to reflect his “one world, one people” philosophy.1. KILL ME [ WITH YOUR LOVE]
Tell me who you are today
Did you leave the best with the words you won't say
Different man, different heart
Now we stand worlds and worlds apart
Underneath the ruins that lie
A broken rhythm keeps running through my mind
Color it is all I see
But I don't bother the remains of you and me
And I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
Lives touched with lies in this room
Vacant memories haunt me through and through
Descending from this high
Silence fills the void with a fire dye
And I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
And I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
Your words mean nothing at all
And I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all
I trust you to kill me with your love
Your words mean nothing at all

8. ALMOST A WHISPER
The sound of holding on - almost a whisper
The sigh of broken hearts - a quiet cry
The rain upon your face
Brings gravity and grace
And softly you begin to breath again
I don't have all the answers to your sad prayers
But if I could I'd give you angel's wings
To go where hope is found
With strength to reach beyond
And carries like a song upon the wind
Please don't give up
Please don't you give up
Cuz I believe
Yes, I believe
I still believe... in us
The sound of holding on - almost a whisper
The sigh of broken hearts - a quiet cry
The rain upon your face
Brings gravity and grace
And softly you begin to breath again

9. SECRET
Tell me what lies behind your eyes,
Your beauty fades but the passion comes alive.
Tell me again, how your dream begins,
Cause when the night falls it's alright with me,
If you wanna make believe.
Whisper your laugh in my ear,
The world disappears and only I can hear.
Music descending, hearts transcending,
And only in this moment we hold the key.
I got a secret, I only tell if you want.
Nobody's got to know, oh no, nobody's got to know.
I got a secret, can you keep it.
Nobody's got to know, oh no, nobody's got to know.
Try to forget the past,
Somethings remain and others never last.
Just by this minute,
Why don't we finish what we started long ago,
You can't say no.
(3x)
I got a secret, I only tell if you want.
Nobody's got to know, oh no, nobody's got to know.

4. BEFORE THE NIGHT ENDS
I close my eyes to see the world
I close my eyes so that it won't hurt
I'm sailing on blue ocean and flying to you
I catch my breathe under the full moon
A star that shines, so pleased to meet... you
Maybe I'll dream forever
And I'd like to love right here
Before the night ends
And dawn of a new day dawns
How I hope, how I hope
That out of this endless blue
Somehow I will find you
Before the night ends,
Before the night ends
I made a choice more than a few times
To walk a road that didn't end up so right
But I want to go the distance
I'd like to love right here
Before the night ends
And dawn of a new day dawns
How I hope, how I hope
That out of this endless blue
Somehow I will find you
Before the night ends,
Before the night ends
Close my eyes...
Never gonna let up...
Before the night ends
I hope I find you
I close my eyes to see the world
I close my eyes so that it won't hurt
I'm sailing on blue ocean and flying to you
I catch my breathe under the full moon
A star that shines, so pleased to meet... you
Maybe I'll dream forever
And I'd like to love right here
Before the night ends
And dawn of a new day dawns
How I hope, how I hope
That out of this endless blue

5. SECRET VOWS
The way the moon
Bends down to light the sea
And catches hold
Of mountains strong
They stand beside me and all that I am
They have written in my soul
I've made a promise to never lose sight
Of the dream that leads me home
And this much I know
Time like a river
Sends me away
But here on these shores
My heart remains
From these shores I came
A tender wind that reaches through the years
And sings me on
Through joy and pain
It breathes within me and all that I am
It has written in my soul
I've made a promise
To never lose sight
Of the dream that leads me home
And this much I know
And this much I know
The way the moon
Bends down to light the sea
And catches hold
Of mountains strong
They stand beside me and all that I am
They have written in my soul
I've made a promise to never lose sight
Of the dream that leads me home
And this much I know
Time like a river
Sends me away
But here on these shores
My heart remains
From these shores I came
A tender wind that reaches through the years
And sings me on
Through joy and pain
It breathes within me and all that I am
It has written in my soul
I've made a promise
To never lose sight
Of the dream that leads me home
And this much I know
And this much I know

6. ARIA
Under a dome of white jasmine
With the roses entwined together
On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning
Gently floating on it's charming risings
On the river's current
On the shining waves
One hand reaches
Reaches for the bank
Where the spring sleeps and
The birds, the birds sing.
Under a dome of white jasmine
Ah! calling us
Together!
Under a dome of white jasmine
With the roses entwined together
On a river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning
Let us descend together
Gently floating on it's charming risings,
On the river's current
On the shining waves,
One hand reaches,
Reaches for the bank,
Where the spring sleeps,
And the birds, the birds sing.
Under a dome of white jasmine
Ah! calling us
Together!

11. IN THE MORNING LIGHT
I wake up to see you
Standing in the morning light.
I reach out to touch you,
But all that I get
Is a memory, and yet, I feel you are near
But my vision's not clear.
Yet I have your image always in view,
I'm forever thinking of you.
I feel you watching me
Quietly in the morning light.
I try to find some peace of mind
In knowing you're where
You don't have a care.
I take comfort that You no longer have
To keep living in a world full of pain,
But I ache to see you again.
On rainy days I sit and think of our lost years,
The times we spent apart just fill my eyes with tears,
But fields of wild flowers and yellow butterflies
Remind me of you and make me smile.
I walk in to your room
And stand there in the morning light.
I cherish the memories:
Your robe on a hook,
The pictures you took.
I can smell your perfume
On the clothes in your room.
Everything I see makes your loss hard to bear,
I see you everywhere.
I live now in a still world
Listening in the morning light.
I strain to hear a familiar voice
But all that I hear
Is the sound of my tears.
Then from a far place
Comes the slightest trace
Of your voice saying,
"I'm all right, you see, and I always will be."

12. CHANGE
How could I ever know
I would find myself alone
Facing your daemons as well as mine
Wishing for the past that words cannot find.
But somewhere in the night
The music in my mind comes alive
I hear love's haunting lullaby.
And it sings of a time we once knew
A time when all I could breathe was you
But seasons never remain the perfect shade
Our love's not the same so we must
Change...change...change
How could I ever know
That with time you would go
Leaving me to find what
Was missing in between our lives
But somewhere in the night
The music in my mind comes alive
I hear love's haunting lullaby
And it sings of a time we once knew
A time when all I could breathe was you
But seasons never remain the perfect shade
Our love's not the same so we must
Change...
Once we had summer in the fall
Now my heart knows what it's like
To lose it all...
I would find myself alone
Facing your daemons as well as mine
Wishing for the past that words cannot find.
But somewhere in the night
The music in my mind comes alive
I hear love's haunting lullaby.
And it sings of a time we once knew
A time when all I could breathe was you

13. THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Life is a miracle,
There's a theory for everything..
Like a flower that is growing up from a stone,
I want to protect you,
I want you to flourish,
But some directions you have to
Figure out on your own
Ahhh,ahhh,ahhahaohahha
I wonder how freely you would imagine the scenery,
You'd write a kingdom, you were a princess of love..
But time can get jaded,
People will wonder
Cause there is a theory for everything,
Right or wrong
..ahhha,ahahaha,
A theory for everything, a theory for everything
All the memories the music,
And all the music the future
And the Theory of Everything is nothing without love...
The theory of everything is nothing without love...
Ooo...Ahhhh
Ooo...Ahhhh
I love who you are
The theory you want to be
Of all the choice in this world
I hope you will believe...
Everything, everything, theory of everything,
Everything, everything, theory of everything,
Ooo...Ahhh
Ooo...Ahhh
The theory of everything is nothing without love...
The theory of everything is nothing without love...
