Mora Sti Fotia - To Pehnidi 1988

Mora Sti Fotia is a Greek rockband, formed in 1984. The self-titled debut album was released in 1987. It had a great impact and is today considered one of the most important albums of the Greek rock scene. Their importance lies in the Greek lyrics, rare for the time, the intense socio-political content of the songs and Stelios "Salvador" Papaioannou's distinctive voice. Their first album in particular contributed significantly to the rise in popularity of Greek-language rock during the 1990s. A long period of absence from the studios followed, with many changes in the lineup and only Salvador as a constant member. The second album, Theatrinoi, was released only in 1999.

The song "To Pehnidi" portrays a gritty, atmospheric story set in a dangerous city, where the narrator is armed, paranoid, and avoiding shadowy enemies. It explores the dark underbelly of society, corruption (such as the black market), and the concept of "everyone against everyone" in the harsh game of life. The lyrics deliver a powerful existential nihilism mixed with a rebellious resolve to play the game as well as you can, knowing that everyone ultimately ends up defeated.
