The song cycle Lia’s Songs was composed between 2012 and 2021. It is the product of the collaboration between Athanasios Zervas (composer) and Lia Siomou (poet). In the song cycle the poem “My heart knows” was written by Xenia Stamoudis, daughter of Lia Siomou. The character of the song cycle is lyric and nostalgic, with six of the songs in Greek and four in English. In the CD, after the songs, Lia Siomou recites the poems in Greek and in English.
