    In the lead up to the album, i thought it would be pretty sweet to do a little Q&A if you lot where up for it? Ask me questions and i might set something up where i can answer them on a video.
    P.s thank you to everyone who has been so lovely. You guys really are just out here making me emotional. Really appreciate it, it's so wonderful to see such a kind community here who just share the same love for music, that's what its all about.

    I've been struggling with myself, both as a human bean as well as 'musician'. Watching you has made me feel something come alive that's been missing, or was lost in a box somewhere. So yeah, thanks.
    You're amazing and simply authentic.

    Your voice & subtle choice of chord voicings.. & just everything about your approach in general, does this song so much wonderful justice. So stunningly beautiful, Eleni! And I really think that Lou would love this.. truly. Always always so intrigued to see what tune you've chosen - because you pick such great tunes that are always so very well suited to you. Keep on keeping on, chica. You really bring such a lovely touch to all of your covers.. it's pure magic & my heart always about jumps right out of my chest a bit whenever I see a notification for a new one.Much love & respect.😇Your voice & playing really hugely inspired me to keep singing & playing too (even just for myself, my own self-soothing & enjoyment).. as, (just to contextualize a bit with the very basic gist) not too long back, I'd been going through a sort of emotionally & psychologically trying time & rough patch in my life - that had started to affect my own creative path & much of my own inspiration/drive towards my own creative expression & in a profoundly negative way. Which really started to scare me & break my heart - as I've never been at a loss that way or confused or been confronted with any experience(s) that would have me considering stopping or discontinuing trying with it. I've been doing this since I was 8 years old.. it's such a huge part of my life, who I am & what had been keeping me going & striving through my entire life for as long as I can remember. Music & playing/singing has often been my best & at times only true friend, & often my one consistent source of comfort & healing, & the thing I've always been able to turn to in ways that would probably be more than relatable for another musician such as yourself but perhaps completely lost on or maybe even look a bit loony to the musical layperson etc. or just a typical appreciator of music from a strictly listener perspective. At any rate, you've been holding a light in the dark for me in that way & a real reminder of why I do it & why I love it. And of what it has done & continues to do for me, my heart & the quality of my life creatively. So, thank you Eleni, I really mean it so profoundly & sincerely. Without even being aware of it & just simply by being you, you've been a part of what has helped me pull through.. and so, I also really just wanted to show you some love here & support too & to say thank you thank you thank you.. just for simply existing & for doing you to the full & sharing it with us here. Appreciate you so much & bless ya to the stars & back💙

      Thank you for such a truly, truly, warming message. And thank you for taking the time to write it out.
      I cannot tell you, how it makes me feel to know that I’ve helped someone (even if it’s only a little) to continue being creative. As humans - I think it’s so vital to release all these creative burst from inside of us (however that may be) and to create music, is just one of life most joyous gifts.
      It’s people much like yourself, that give me the passion, and courage to continue on this path.
      So once more, thank you friend; for making my week with your wonderful words. Big love to you.
      Ps - I do hope whatever hardships your going through, subside soon, and you feel more inner peace come your way. Music has the ability to heal I believe.

    Sometimes I feel so happy
    Sometimes I feel so sad
    Sometimes I feel so happy
    But mostly you just make me mad
    Baby, you just make me mad
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Thought of you as my mountaintop
    Thought of you as my peak
    Thought of you as everything
    I've had, but couldn't keep
    I've had, but couldn't keep
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    If I could make the world as pure
    And strange as what I see
    I'd put you in the mirror
    I put in front of me
    I put in front of me
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Skip a life completely
    Stuff it in a cup
    She said, "Money is like us in time
    It lies, but can't stand up"
    Down for you is up
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    It was good what we did yesterday
    And I'd do it once again
    The fact that you are married
    Only proves you're my best friend
    But it's truly, truly a sin
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
    Linger on your pale blue eyes
