The gradual incorporation of natural instruments and the parallel musical experimentations of the band members have given No Clear Mind its distinctive sound which emerges in their latest album ‘Mets’. ‘Mets’ is an amalgamation of cinematographic sounds psychedelic folk and improvisational ambient with a general mood to bring forward the pure melodiousness and the rhythmical perception of the 70’s. No Clear Mind’s first album ‘Dream is Destiny’ is a set of unrefined home-produced recordings and was distributed for free for many years.
No Clear Mind’s comeback with live appearances as a complete group coincided with the addition of Kostas Chaliotis, Babis Theocharis and Dimitris Pagidas to the original band members Vasilis Dokakis and Lefteris Volanis.

By Your Side
No Clear Mind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
take your crown
and slip
into
my lake
don't come late
my love
and no time
to loose
time no time we'll never get old
dive and find your self as your fall
time no time we'll never get old
love like wine gets sweeter gets strong
like you
by
your side
The lyrics of "By Your Side" by No Clear Mind are dreamy and metaphorical, exploring the idea of surrendering oneself completely to love. The vision of "take your crown and slip into my lake" suggests a willingness to let go of one's ego and allow oneself to merge with the beloved. The lake can be seen as a symbol of deep emotional intimacy and vulnerability, where the person can let their guard down without fear of judgment or rejection. The phrase "don't come late my love" implies a sense of urgency and a desire to be fully present in the moment with the beloved. The mention of "no rules and no time to loose" further reinforces this idea of living in the moment, without worrying about the consequences or the future.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the timeless nature of true love, where time is an illusion that doesn't matter. The lines "time no time we'll never get old, love like wine gets sweeter gets strong" suggests that love only grows stronger with time and that the connection between the lovers will never fade away. The final line "by your side" brings the song full circle, highlighting the importance of being together and the feeling of completeness that comes with it.
Overall, "By Your Side" is a beautiful and poetic ode to love, celebrating the transformative power of surrendering oneself completely to another person.

I've been depressed for so long. I haven't smiled or listened to music in months and I come across this and I get the largest smile I've had in so long... I feel happy. I genuinely feel happy. This song has touched my heart with it's beauty. It makes me proud to be Greek!

Finding music with this power, one experiences a strange unity with all the people with the vision to appreciate it and post cool comments. Silly maybe as they're spread over a couple of years, but there's magic here. Thanks for the great music guys.

“Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?” - Haruki Murakami
