Stin Kardia Mou Mono Thlipsi
"Stin Kardia Mou Mono Thlipsi" (Greek: Στην Καρδιά Μου Μόνο Θλίψη; en, In my heart there is only sorrow) is a song recorded by Greek-Swedish recording artist Helena Paparizou and written and produced by Grigoris Petrakos. It was released as the fifth and final single from the original edition of her debut album, ''Protereotita'' (2004). The song is a downtempo laïko ballad which lyrically speaks of sadness after a break-up and wishing the person to return. It was released in early 2005 shortly after the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation's (ERT) announcement of Paparizou as Greece's entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. The song was not heavily promoted and a proper video was not filmed; rather the video was made at the set of a television interview special she had done in Stockholm. It failed to impact the charts and stands as one of her least successful singles in Greece and Cyprus. She has performed it in a few of her concerts and residency shows. T ...

Ballad
A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music. Ballads derive from the medieval French ''chanson balladée'' or ''ballade'', which were originally "dance songs". Ballads were particularly characteristic of the popular poetry and song of Britain and Ireland from the Late Middle Ages until the 19th century. They were widely used across Europe, and later in Australia, North Africa, North America and South America. Ballads are often 13 lines with an ABABBCBC form, consisting of couplets (two lines) of rhymed verse, each of 14 syllables. Another common form is ABAB or ABCB repeated, in alternating eight and six syllable lines. Many ballads were written and sold as single sheet broadsides. The form was often used by poets and composers from the 18th century onwards to produce lyrical ballads. In the later 19th century, the term took on the meaning of a slow form of popular love song and is often used for any love song, particularly the sentimental ballad of pop or roc ...

Other prominent artists to emerge in the style include Boards of Canada, Nicolas Jaar, and Bonobo.
