But I started searching about him, every time i found something i attached to him, I even want it to die so i can see him, oh good lord what a loss.

His life wasn’t so easy on him, he grew up with grandparents until he was 14 and he went to big city to work, even he is underage, I suppose part time work and school same time, when he was old enough he worked at bar he sing at the bar, he was bartender, we was waiter, he did everything in the bar.

It was so fun to listen from him what he did. He says I sing and i ran down to kitchen to make burger, run upstairs to serve drink to people.

he was hard working person, now we are looking at celebrities they are so snobbish, he wasn’t, I LOVE YOU BARIS, wait for us till we meet again, watch us from heaven and see how much we love you.

Rest in peace my love.

Here is the the klip from Baris’s last albume (Ayrilik Zamansiz Gelir) published after his death in January 2008
Song name is “Ruzgar” (Wind)

“He also gave many charity concerts for the children of leukemia for whom BARIS cared so much and tried to provide them the best he could.
He has a lot of fans whom called themselves BAG ( = The Ones Who Understand BARIS). They have supported him since he joined the Akademi Turkiye. Baris called them : ”my big loving family”.
It is still hard to believe that we have lost him… We have lost a wonderful musician, performer and we lost the future number-one rock star… but above all, we lost a great man, a wonderful person, a benevolent, breadth human-being !
We lost the person with a personality that is very rare to find and impossible to be replaced and his absence will always be felt.”

I did not even understand the words Baris sang, but I got the feeling that he was special…seems that he was indeed special.

I actually am not that fond of rock and I am from London, so there is a language barrier but there is something about his voice and presence which is totally mesmerising.

Anyway here is an English translation to Islak Islak…..

ISLAK ISLAK..

Did the dew of the night fall upon your eyes?
Just please dont look at me with wet eyes.
Pour your hair on my chest and tell me what bothers you,
Just please dont look at me with wet eyes.

I plough the fields made of clouds
I plant the rains into the sky
I brew your tea on the sun,
Filter it thru my heart, then serve it to you..
I interfere with the turning wheels of the fate,
I interfere with the turning wheels of the fate,
Please just don’t look at me with wet eyes.

I hope this is ok.
