THE EXODUS
A Story of Current Events
I recently returned from one of the most amazing journeys of my life! I was in Egypt and Greece. While in Cairo, I made an effort to go to the pyramids to film. It was an adventure getting there, riding a horse full speed across the desert while looking at 5,000 year old pyramids in the distance, I’ll never forget that moment!
When my friends and I arrived at the location, my thoughts were simply to film myself singing through a few of my songs. My goal was to get 30 seconds of good footage that would be used for a promotion. So for an hour, I filmed. The Great Pyramids were in the background and every now and then camels and horses would walk by, it was perfect! Totally unplanned, totally unrehearsed. No special lights or gear, no film crew, just a simple hand held camera and lots of passion! Every now and then people would stop at the top of the hill to look at a madman in the desert who was singing his songs with no music being played (I had in-ear headphones pumping the music to me so I could synchronize my mouth and motions to each song).
When I got back to my hotel room and looked at the footage I was in awe! I suddenly began to realize that without thinking about it I had actually just filmed the music video for The Exodus! I was flying to Greece the next day so I decided I would go to the Acropolis in Athens and film there too. Both Egypt and Greece are important to the true story that inspired the birth of The Exodus.
I completed the video edit yesterday and amazingly the headlines in the news were about “the exodus” that is literally taking place in Egypt right now! I don’t take this lightly. And also on the same day, the Greek Prime Minister made the first official visit to Turkey in 50 years! All of these things are important to me. You see, my Greek family fled for their lives from Turkey in the early 1900’s because of war, they left behind homes, businesses, everything. So for Greece to be seeking “…permanent improvement in relations…” with Turkey means much to me and to countless others! Then during WWII, my family once again fled for their lives, this time it was into the deserts of Egypt where they lived as refugees for several years. The timing of the completion of The Exodus and all these current events just amazes me.
For years I have known that God has been preparing me to go to nations to deliver a message of hope and love to their people and leaders, to sing a song that they can feel and connect with. I went to Egypt for no other reason than because I felt it in my heart to go, and after the decision was made and the ticket was booked that is when things began to unfold and happen. First, an invitation to sing on a national radio show, then in a moment of inspiration a few hours before I was leaving Cairo I shot the footage that has now became the music video of The Exodus! The same was true in Greece, after decided to go, it was then that I was invited for an interview on a national radio show and then as a result of the show I ended up doing my first live performance in Athens and also had the opprotunity to film footage at the Acropolis! Imagine having several dreams all come to pass in 48 hours. It was magical, I felt like time stood still. I feel very guided and that my trip had a purpose that cannot be put into words.
The Exodus is about pain, loss and persecution but it is also about resolution. The Exodus is the story of current events. This video is RIGHT ON TIME. There’s nothing "slick" about this music video, it’s raw and passionate. There are no words in The Exodus, only expressions and cries of deep feelings and emotions. Someone said to me today, "If a picture paints a thousand words then The Exodus paints a thousand languages." The Exodus is a story of HUMANITY and it speaks in an unknown tongue understood by all. ~ Niko

well Niko I guess it didn’t need a cast a handy cam did all the job it’s a gr8 one it became more expressive that way good work man as an egyptian you gave me another view of the pyramids hehehe nice one buddy…the egyptian desserts were honoured for having you arround :D…keep it up.
Hi niko,
I love this song, the music vedio is great job, I know how hard it is to edit pics your song.I liked camels and native people in the background.
anyway as much as I appreciate ur cool music, I want to share my views on this music video: when I listen to this song I do not associate it with your image singing it,I would like to see the crowd of people, thousands, maybe in the desert moving to an unknown mysterious destination, pyramids do not necessarily resembel the exile for me,consider all destinations in the world even very usual ones like a street , your pain still can be felt. anyway I liked the scenes you grabed the sacred soil. Again sacred soil is not just in Egypt , but anywhere that the blood of thousands of inocents are being shed. your journey has just begun!
Lots of Love
Madi

hi my frind
Well Nico,
I’m very impressed by what you do here.
This is so totally different than I know you.
You captivated me which is something that doesn’t happen all the time.
This what you show us doesn’t need any more then what’s to see.
It’s in a way old fashion oriental mystery, which is to be a complement.
I love it, go on!!!
With all my support and to your success,

Nicholas,
I have been eagerly awaiting this divine creation! It has truly been beautiful to see what you were able to capture on your journey now combined with the music of Exodus. I see and receive this as a Battlecry of Humanity! As I listened to and watched the video, my question behind the battlecry is and has been……what is their story? The people that suffer,fight, and die every day for the sacred soil all over the world. This battlecry gives honor and dignity to a suffering people who may have at one time, felt they had lost everything. You are right my friend-RESOLUTION INDEED - ONE THAT COMES FROM WITHIN AND IS AN EVERLASTING PEACE THAT NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY!!!!! I stand on HOLY GROUND with you and the rest of the world. May we all keep going, keep walking, keep running, keep loving, keep caring until we can no more.
Con mucho Carino,
Cenaiyda
