Yehuda Poliker (album 2- update) - Day dreamer



After many many years waiting for this, I have finally bought, received and listened to Yehuda Poliker's second solo album. 

It was released in 1986, like I mentioned, and was very difficult to find.

I was a bit surprised to hear that the album was actually recorded live - which wasn't announced anywhere on his website, nor wikipedia. The liner notes, however, do specify this detail. 


All 12 songs have Greek melodies, several instrumental pieces and Lyrics are either in Greek or translated from it in.

Yehuda Poliker (album 2) - Day dreamer




I don't yet own Yehuda Poliker's second solo album. It was released in 1986 and is one of the rarest to find, and its price hasn't been affordable when I did find it... I'll probably have to search for it more actively to complete my collection before it disappears.

Yehuda Poliker (part 0)





I’d like to introduce you to my favorite singer of all times: Yehuda Poliker. I believe the first song I heard was ‘’the shadow and me’’ from his 4th album ‘’less but hurts’’ from 1990. As far as I know, that song was written about a homosexual’s wish to live in a better world where he wouldn’t have to hide in the closet – to cast light on the shadow so to speak. Although not concerning my personal case, I had to lead a double life and thus had my very own shadow. The hope expressed in the bridge ‘’let’s soar high above, you’ll be my wings’’ spoke to me greatly as I, too, wished for freedom – and that’s how my love for Poliker’s music and songs was born and never waned.
