This is Erkin Koray, from his amazing psychedelic self-titled album. An example of Anatolian Rock, this tune has lots of cool elements. The first 30 seconds consist of a bass line with percussion and tambourine, joined up by a little electric guitar. Then it slows down, leading into the opening lyrics:
Çılgın bir rüzgarla
Geçiyor mevsimler
Aramızda mesafeler
...Mesafeler... Mesafeler
According to Google, this translates into English as:
a crazy wind
Going through seasons
Distance between us
... Distances ... Distances
After these words, and a bit of psych guitar atmosphere, at about 1:20 it's time to break out the cowbell and start rocking out with some excellent psychedelic guitar. The main lyrics are repeated again, and well, OK sure, you can slow it down if you want, Erkin, it's your tune. That bass really shakes my speakers. Let's start rocking again, I need more cowbell!!
There's Erkin on the right, hanging out with John and Yoko.
