Anastasia
Once upon a time, one day,
I glide within the wind
And the music from the past
Whispers softly, I love you.
I dance with all the shadows,
Through time so loud and clear;
The memories turn into light,
And my love appears again.
A light is guiding me
To a world of magic dreams,
A memory softly weaves
Like a diamond’s precious gleam.
Someone’s holding me so close
In the silence of the breeze,
And my heart begins to flutter,
As if I’m there once more.
Like a wave that crashes ashore,
Inside the wind is breaking;
The stars across the sky
Awaken with a spark.
And the wind’s own melody
Is heard again once more…
The light is guiding me
To a world of magic dreams,
A memory softly weaves
Like a diamond’s precious gleam.
Someone’s holding me so close
In the silence of the breeze,
And my heart begins to flutter,
As if I’m there once more.
Μια φορά κάποια στιγμή,
μες στον άνεμο γλιστρώ,
κι η μουσική απ’ τα παλιά
ψιθυρίζει, σ’ αγαπώ.
Χορεύω με τις σκιές,
μες στον χρόνο δυνατά
οι μνήμες γίνονται φως,
κι η αγάπη μου Ξυπνά.
Ένα φως με οδηγεί
σε έναν κόσμο μαγικό·
και η μνήμη σιγοκλαίει σαν διαμάντι ακριβό,
Κάποιος με κρατά αγκαλιά,
στου ανέμου την σιωπή, και η καρδιά μου φτερουγίζει σαν να είμαστε μαζί.
Σαν κύμα που σπάει στην ακτή,
μέσα μου άνεμος ξεσπά·τ’ άστρα του ουρανού, μια αστραπή ξυπνά και η μουσική του ανέμου ακούγεται ξανά…
Ένα φως με οδηγεί
σε έναν κόσμο μαγικό·
και η μνήμη σιγοκλαίει σαν διαμάντι ακριβό,
Κάποιος με κρατά αγκαλιά,
στου ανέμου την σιωπή, και η καρδιά μου φτερουγίζει σαν να είμαστε μαζί.
Why I Created “Anastasia”
I created “Anastasia” because something deep inside me was stirred by the memory of that animated movie I loved as a child. It wasn’t just the fairytale — it was the feeling of a lost identity, of searching for where you belong, of hearing whispers from the past saying, “you are loved, you are remembered.”
When I wrote this song, I wasn’t just writing lyrics; I was opening a window into the parts of myself that long for connection, memory, and truth. The music became a bridge between my past and present, between the landscapes of my home in Vonitsa and the emotional landscapes inside me.
What I felt while creating it was a mix of nostalgia, sadness, but also wonder — as if I was dancing with old shadows, but also inviting light back into places that had been quiet for too long. This song is not just about the character Anastasia; it’s about the parts of all of us that search for home, for belonging, for the moments when we feel seen.
For the creation of “Anastasia,” I used Suno AI to compose the music, generating both the instrumental base and the emotional tone I wanted. The lyrics (both Greek and English) were written by me, shaped carefully to match the mood and the visuals.
For the visual side, I filmed original drone footage using DJI Air 2S and DJI Avata 2 — capturing the landscapes of Vagia for the Greek version and the lakes of Linovrohia, Vonitsa, for the English version. All footage was edited by me using Adobe Premiere, where I synchronized the imagery with the song, adjusting color grading and pacing to match the emotional flow.
This was a fully independent project — concept, writing, music creation, drone filming, and editing were all handled personally by me, blending technology with personal inspiration.
