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? You absence surrounds me every time 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 more

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 : Translated lyrics in English: Don't look for contradictory meanings As autumn ends and the waters foam The wound caused by your never-healing smile There is an abyss, there is an executioner every night A new war begins every night Pain becomes sound, sound becomes crazy rain Every place I take shelter is mentioned with your name I enter, the streets are patrolled. Your smile also adds to my identity The day ends, your smile remains with me more

Leicester's Jake Thompson is back with his next release 'Won't Break'. The song released on the 15th of March 2024 and is available on all steaming platforms, In my opinion, this is my best song yet and the most close to heart song that I have released. The song came together when I met up with Mark Elliott (Who actually taught me how to play guitar) for a session, he then came up with the opening piano progression which continues throughout the song, whilst coming up with lyric ideas the 'ooos' came out and we both loved it. We started building the song from there. I wrote this song for my girlfriend and it's about how life has been so much better with her, and you know you've found THE ONE. I hope everyone loves this song as much as I do. Available on all streaming platforms. Be sure to save, share, like, comment and add to your playlists 😊more
