Moğollar (Mongols in Turkish) is one of the pioneer bands in Turkish rock music for about 40 years and one of the founders of Turkish folk rock (or Anatolian rock). The major goal of the band is to prove that folk music has a multi-layered soul and folk music's dynamism is very close to pop music's dynamism.
The band was founded in 1967 by Neco (Nejat Tahir Özyılmazel), Aziz Azmet, Aydın Daruga and Murat Ses who were previously members of Silüetler (silhouettes). However, Neco left the band at the end of 1967. Also, Cahit Berkay, who was a member of Selçuk Alagöz Band, and Haluk Kunt, who was a member of Vahşi Kediler (Wild Cats), both joined the band. Later, Haluk Kunt was replaced by Hasan Sel, who was a member of Apaşlar (Apaches) in 1968, and Aydın Daruga was replaced by Engin Yörükoğlu in 1969.
In 1970, Hasan Sel was replaced by Taner Öngür, previously a member of Meteorlar (Meteors) and the Erkin Koray Quartet. The band tried to fuse the technical aspects of pop music with the melodies of Anatolian folk music in late 1960s and early 1970s.
the shock in her eyes
words that echo my thoughts
your blood in my veins
a subhuman roar.
uh, trash me for my life
beyond this world that we despise
uh, you give me such a joy and I -
I kiss the darkest places
and you embrace me like a toy.
the shock in her eyes
rules that we do not need
your blood on my cheek
a subhuman roar.
uh, trash me for my pleasure
beyond this world that we despise
uh, you give me such a joy and I -
I kiss the darkest places
and you embrace me like a toy.
the shock in her eyes
words that we do despise
rules that we do not need
your blood on my cheek
my blood in your veins
