BARIS AKARSU
'' BARIS'S MEMORIAL WEEK / BARIS AKARSU CULTURE and
ART FESTIVAL ''
( 29 JUNE - 4 JULY / AMASRA - TURKEY )
BARIS's OFFICIAL WEB SITE :
www.baris-akarsu.com
BARIS AKARSU was born on the 29th of June 1979 in Zonguldak from the happy marriage of his mother
Hatice Akarsu with his father Selahattin Akarsu. He has a sister named Nesrin. Akarsu family named
him BARIS which means PEACE and in his father's own words : ''He had this name to bring peace to the
country and to the whole world, which is more and more needed''. He and his sister, Nesrin, grew up
in Amasra, Turkey, where the family moved soon after his birth. Akarsu’s parents still live in
Amasra.
BARIS completed his elementary, secondary and high-school educations in Amasra.
When he was in high-school, he was a fond of sailing and he decided to do this sport professionally
in Amasra Sailing Club.
His interest in music was started in the early ages of his short life that was full-of-love and
breadth.
He used to point out that he remembered himself walking on the streets of Amasra with the
block-flute in his hand when he was in the elementary school.
However, his real acquaintance with music was with the influence of the musicians who used to come
to Amasra for live performances and this is when he started to play the guitar and the harmonica.
Cem Karaca, Ruhi Su were the artists who were continuosly listened in the home of Akarsu Family.
Starting from those days, BARIS AKARSU continues to listen the rock, hard-rock and heavy-metal
groups of the 70s and 80s and he has continued to do so until the end of his short life.
Amasra is well-known with it's beaches and natural settings.
Beaches of Amasra were the first places where he learned to play guitar with his friends and made
his first stage debut also took place on the same venue.
After graduating from high school, BARIS also worked as an animator and as a musician in Antalya.
Later he performed at clubs/bars, local televisions and radios in Ankara and Karadeniz Ereglisi for
a period of 4 years. Then, he decided to go back to Amasra.
It was this period of time when BARIS AKARSU returned to Amasra and when several of his friends
encouraged him to participate in the 2004 debut of the reality television program called Akademi
Türkiye (The contestants are selected through auditions nation-wide. They stayed in a house called
“Akademi” and spend their whole time practicing songs, acting and other activities that are
related to perform music.)
BARIS decided to apply because he saw an opportunity to get trained by professional trainers. In
July 2004 BARIS won the highly publicized “Akademi Turkiye” and together with this, he fell into
the hearts of the millions in Turkey not only as a musician, singer and performer, but also with
his wonderful character and always-friendly behaviours for every one he met.
Soon after winning Akademi Turkiye, BARIS released his first album “Islak Islak” and on August
2006, he released his second album “Düsmeden Bulutlarda Kosmam Gerek” both produced by Seyhan
Music. He has music videos for his songs “Islak Islak”, “Kimdir O”, “Mavi” and
“Amasra” from his first album.
He also has music videos for his songs “Vurdum En Dibine Kadar” and “Yaz Demedim” from his
second album.
“Ben” and “Yeter Be” from his second album were written and composed by him.
During 2006, BARIS was the lead-role actor in the television serial named “Yalanci Yarim” (which
was broadcasted all year long and continued during 2007 until we lost him with one of the most
unfortunate car accidents took place in Bodrum) and at the same time he gave many live concerts in
several parts of the country and with every day passing, he added thousands of fans from all age
groups. He also gave many charity concerts for the children of leukemia for whom BARIS cared so much
and tried to provide them the best he could.
He has a lot of fans whom called themselves BAG ( = The Ones Who Understand BARIS). They have
supported him since he joined the Akademi Türkiye. BARIS called them : ''My big loving family''.
It is still hard to believe that we have lost him... We have lost a wonderful musician, performer
and we lost the future number-one rock star... but above all, we lost a great man, a wonderful
person, a benevolent, breadth human-being !
We lost the person with a personality that is very rare to find and impossible to be replaced and
his absence will always be felt.
We lost him on 4th of July 2007 after 5 days of deep coma in Private Bodrum Hospital which he was
brought after having a car accident on the same day he was born and on the way to his 29th birthday
party in Bodrum.
Millions prayed for him to survive while he was in coma in the hospital for five days after the
car-accident.
But we lost him !
We lost him while he was getting ready for his third album and when he was planning to make his
place certain on the top !
Thousands of people attended his funeral in Amasra ... thousands of people cried after him while
millions of people were sharing the same feelings while watching his funeral on the Television.
Rest in Peace BARIS !
Maybe you lived a very short life and maybe there were many things you planned to do.
However, you have showed to everyone all of the ethical values which people seemed to forget.
You have been the best sample for everyone !
Thank you for all you have done and thank you for the values you have showed and added to our
lives.
We will never forget you BARIS !
We will always remember you with your smiling face !
WE LOVE YOU...

Angels Blessing
♥****♥****♥****♥****♥
An angel blessing just for you
To pick you up when you feel blue
To love you and to guide you
Angel stars they shine so bright
For they are with us always
Until dawns first light
They sprinkle us with angel dust
To let us know theyre near
Then shower us with kisses
To wipe away a tear
For angels never leave us
Although we had to part
I KNOW
Because their footprints
Are stamped here on my ♥HEART ♥

NOTHING ON THIS EARTH WILL EVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU
I LONG TO FEEL YOUR ARMS AROUND ME HOLDING ME TIGHT
HELPING ME GET THOUGH EACH AND EVERY NIGHT
MY HEART ACHES WITH SADDNESS I LONG FOR YOUR TOUCH
HOW HARD IT IS TO LIVE WITHOUT SOME ONE THAT I LOVE SO MUCH
EVERY MEMORY YOU LEFT IS MINE TO KEEP
COME TO ME IN MY DREAMS WHILE I SLEEP......

✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿
✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿
✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿
✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿
✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿
✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿
✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿
✿'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your Son-- did he come back alright?'✿
✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿
✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿
✿ Lest we forget......✿

Love Shines Through
Like a shadow in the moonlight
Like the whisper of the seas
Like the echoes of a melody
Just beyond our reach
In the shadow of our sorrow
Past the whisper of goodbye
Love shines through eternity
A heartbeat from our eye

TIME WILL EASE THE HURT
by Bruce B. Wilmer
The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time,
And meaning to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can't hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away;
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind;
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won't let the sadness
Simply slide away,
The echoes will diminish
Even though the memories stay.

Memories ?
Memories fill the empty space
Where you used to lie
Tears flood my eyes
As I see your face
Your smile
I hear your voice
The humour
I smile...
God Bless You Beautiful Angel
With me all the while
My memories
Take me straight to you
Bridge time and space
Uniting us forever
In an unbroken embrace
Have A Lovely Week My Friends.
With Love Always Linda.xxx

~Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.
