Thanasis Papakonstantinou. A touching farewell to fans of his music
In his concert at the Vrachon Theater, which ended the “Dionysian Circle” tour, Thanasis Papakonstantinou thanked the fans for their support and announced that their next “meeting” will be a record one.
“Well, I want to thank you very much. And you who are here today, and those who were in the past… The greatest thing you have done is to overlook my faults; damn yes And you get to the point. Thank you very much. This is not easy. We will meet next time, even for the record label.
But I want to say the following, I say it all the time, I will say it one more time. I think the response was there and the love… I think it was too much. Listen, listen, I will explain one more time. What I was doing, that is, I was doing songs, well, it was a need that I couldn’t control. I realized, however, that I do this for my existence. So that I can stand on this hard road that is life, right? So, in short, creativity is a selfish process. I always say, what crowns human existence is sacrifice, guys, and I didn’t feel like I sacrificed anything. So keep the songs and forget me.
I also want to thank my colleagues very much. Both the present and the former who put up with me. I see different faces here, in front and among colleagues, sad and upset and so on. Don’t be sad, live the moment. Live in the present. As if there is no tomorrow. But, but, but… Don’t be stupid, always remember those who came before us and those who come after us,” said Thanasis Papakonstantinou at the end of his concert in a typical way, receiving the applause of the gathered fans. to follow him.
