Marijan`s specialities are very authentical compositions as mixed Medieval/Renaissance and Celtic styles with Rockelements. <br />

I was 10 years young when I got my first guitar. Since this time I play autodidactly this wonderful instrument tune by tune.

Story behind the song

Life is not endless

Lyrics

When I am dead,my dearest 
Words by Christina Georgina Rosetti (1830-1094)

When I am dead,my dearest
Sing no sad songs for me; 
Plant thou no roses at my head, 
Nor shady cypress tree: 
Be the green grass above me 
With showers and dewdrops wet; 
And if thou wilt, remember, 
And if thou wilt, forget. 

I shall not see the shadows, 
I shall not feel the rain; 
I shall not hear the nightingale 
Sing on, as if in pain: 
And dreaming through the twilight 
That doth not rise nor set, 
Haply I may remember, 
And haply may forget.

When I am dead,my dearest
Sing no sad songs for me; 
Plant thou no roses at my head, 
Nor shady cypress tree: 
Be the green grass above me 
With showers and dewdrops wet; 
And if thou wilt, remember, 
And if thou wilt, forget.
