Νόστος / Nostos

 

Nostos 

~Thoughts on a rainy evening~

One minute conceptual poetry in the notion of nostos, nature, future and dreams.

The word nostalgia is learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος

(nóstos), meaning "homecoming", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain" 

or "ache", and was coined by a 17th-century medical student to describe the anxieties 

displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away from home. Described as a medical 

condition—a form of melancholy—in the Early Modern period, it became an important 

trope in Romanticism.

Lyrics

Νοσταλγία

Nóstos

Is the feeling that sailors get while they travel away from home

My home is love

My home is nature

My home is freedom

Futura Natura

Is the place full of dreams that came true

One day I will brake the glass

One day I will fly above the crystal forest

Νοσταλγία

Nóstos

Is the feeling that sailors get while they travel away from home

Futura Natura

Is the place full of dreams that came true
