This song is one of the earliest examples yet found of a complete musical composition from the ancient world. Although other songs have been found that pre-date 'The Song of Seikilos' by many centuries, they only survive in fragments.
Seikilos carved the song on a grave pillar in dedication to his wife.
The Grave was discovered in 1883, near Aydin in Turkey. Archaeologists believe it dates between 200 BC and AD 100.
Seikilos also inscribed a poem on the gravestone, it reads:
"Hoson zēs, phainou
Mēden holōs sy lypou;
Pros oligon esti to zēn
To telos ho chronos apaitei."
In English:
"As long as you live, shine,
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure.
For your life is short,
and time will claim its toll."
From the Atrium Musicae de Madrid directed by Gregorio Paniagua, recorded in 1979.

Second Die Among Strangers song.
Filmed in Snowdonia and Père-Lachaise.
Words by Lord Tennyson (1809-1892).
Sweet is true love tho' given in vain;
And sweet is death who puts an end to all pain:
I know not which is sweeter, no, not I.
Love, art thou sweet? Then bitter death must be;
Love, thou art bitter; sweet is death to me.
O Love, if death be sweeter, let me die.
Sweet love, that seems not made to fade away,
Sweet death, that seems to make us loveless clay,
I know not which is sweeter, no, not I.
I fain would follow love, if that could be;
I needs must follow death, who calls for me;
Call and I follow, I follow, let me die.

First song of my Neofolk project Die Among Strangers - a cover of a Levellers song.
Images from Tarkovsky's Nostalghia.
Life... a number and a name
Don't know what to think, don't know what to say
Stand on the moon
You want it all too soon
You must give it all away
It's the price that you must pay
Love... sometimes easy, sometimes strange
Like the pictures that you paint, sometimes clear and sometimes grey
Well love is like a book, with your writing on the page
But the words that you write, are not the words you wanna say
Time... time just drifts away
Like the ending of the line
Like the parting of the way
Well time, time will never wait
Like the thoughts all in my head
