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 BOTH BIG AND SMALL........
THINKING OF EACH ANGEL BOTH BIG AND SMALL
KNOWING THAT THE LORD IN HEAVEN TAKES CARE OF YOU ALL
WE WISH SO MUCH WE COULD HAVE YOU NEAR
TO UNBURDEN OURS SOULS AND NEVER HAVE ANY FEAR
IT GOES WITHOUT QUESTION THAT WE MISS YOU WITH EACH BEAT OF OUR HEART
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS WHY WE HAVE TO BE APART
KNOWING THAT EACH ONE OF YOU ENTER HEAVEN WITH SO MUCH GRACE
ALLOWING THE LORD IN HEAVEN TAKE YOU INTO HIS EMBRACE
WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN ALL LOOK DOWN AND YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE
THE BROKEN HEARTS LEFT BEHIND FOR AN ETERNITY
NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME AS IT WAS BEFOR
BUT WE KNOW YOU WILL BE WAITING FOR US AT HEAVENS DOOR.........

Tributes For Week Starting 9th November
FOR MONDAY
Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
FOR TUESDAY
Loving you is easy,
We do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
FOR WEDNESDAY
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
FOR THURSDAY
Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane I so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.
FOR FRIDAY
Wings Of The Angels
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.
Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.
On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.
FOR SATURDAY
If I Had One Last Day
If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied
I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart
If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.
FOR SUNDAY
Cry Not My Friend
When you wake up tomorrow
And I am no where to be found
When you scream out my name
To the emptiness around
When every beat inside your heart
Is skipping and unsure
Cry not my friend for I am here,
Inside your love so pure
When the waves that used to touch our feet
Have gone back out to sea
When everything you once held dear
Was lost when you lost me
When the sun that once lit up your face
Is setting far away
Cry not my Friend for time shall pass,
But my love for you will stay
When age arrives and children play
And pain creeps up on you
When loved ones show you happiness
That your life never knew
When all of your expectations are met,
No matter what the pain
Cry not my friend, for I am waiting
To hold you once again
When beauty in your eyes turn grey
And all of the rainbow, white
When strong undying hearts
No longer feel an urge to fight
When winter snows become more pain
Than beauty in your heart
Cry not my friend, for I am here
And we will never ever part

SENT WITH LOVE BY HALINA.GODBLESSS BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS ANGEL,LOVE HALINA XXXXX9TH NOV 09
My long lost angel, why did you go?
There's no answer, I may never know.
Smiling so bright, like white shiny gold.
Then you were laying there still and cold.
"God, please give her back, I need her here.
I will die here without her, I fear.
There's an emptiness deep in my soul.
With her gone, I'll never be whole."
This aching pain is so much to bear.
When I wake up and you are not there.
You were with me for just a short while.
I'll never forget your sweet little smile.
You staying here wasn't meant to be.
God needed an angel and gave you wings.
You'll always have a place in my heart.
When my time comes, we won't be apart.
My world is dark, no sun and no moon.
Wait for me angel, I'll be with you soon.
Briana Hall
can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings–Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fall
By Karl Fuchs

My Dear Family
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
***********
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
***********
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
***********
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...
***********
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
***********
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
**********
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...xxx
