I am here again with a mini album of 4 songs called “Eskiden”. I wanted this album to herald spring and decided to release it on March 1, 2024. Unlike the works in my previous releases, in this work, I included for the first time two of my compositions, "Eskiden" and "Yürüdüm Sokaklarda” whose lyrics also belong to me. You will hear more compositions with lyrics written by me in my future works. This mini album includes the album titled 'Ben' by dear İlhan Yabantaş, which was sung many years ago by my dear Kazım Koyuncu, which I have been singing in concerts for years. I hope you will listen with pleasure. I also composed and sang dear Ahmet Telli's poem titled “ Gülüşün Kalır Bende”("Your Smile Stays with Me".) As in my other works, many international talented musicians took part in this work. I owe an endless thanks to them. You will still hear my friend Ümit Armağan's arrangements and those beautiful guitar riffs. My friend made a great effort to achieve this. Again, my dear friend Cengiz Tural added a beautiful color to the work in three songs. Dear Joabe Araujo played the bass guitar of 3 songs from Brazil with superior virtuousness as always. Again, I thank you very much for this nice contribution. I would like to thank my dear Yiğit Alp Onat for the cello party he included in my work " Eskiden” (in the old days which was included in the album.

Kaç bahar geçti sensiz bu şehirde? Yokluğun sardı beni her seherde Sensizlikle geçer zaman Hasret bu, biter insan Yürürüm sokaklarda Ne zaman kaybetsem seni Bu şehir yendi beni Ne zaman kaybetsem seni Bu şehir yendi beni Yürüdüm, yürüdüm, yürüdüm sokaklarda Yürüdüm, yürüdüm, yürüdüm sokaklarda Kaç vapur geçti sensiz bu şehirde? Yokluğun sardı beni her seferde Sensizlikle geçer zaman Hasret bu, biter insan Yürürüm sokaklarda Ne zaman kaybetsem seni Bu şehir yendi beni Ne zaman kaybetsem seni Bu şehir yendi beni Yürüdüm, yürüdüm, yürüdüm sokaklarda Yürüdüm, yürüdüm, yürüdüm sokaklarda Lyrics in English How many springs have passed without you in this city? Your absence surrounds me every morning Time passes without you This is the longing, one ends I walk the streets Whenever I lose you This city beats me Whenever I lose you This city beats me I walked, I walked, I walked the streets I walked, I walked, I walked the streets How many ferries passed through this city without you?

Your smile also adds to my identity The day ends, your smile remains with me more
