Yiannis Chryssomallis (Greek: Γιάννης Χρυσομάλλης, Giánnis Chrysomállis; born November 14, 1954), known professionally as Yanni (/ˈjɑːni/ YAH-nee), is a Greek composer, keyboardist, pianist, and music producer who has spent his adult life in the United States.
Yanni continues to use the musical shorthand that he developed as a child, blending jazz, classical, soft rock, and world music to create predominantly instrumental works. Although this genre of music was not well suited for commercial pop radio and music television, Yanni received international recognition by producing concerts at historic monuments and by producing videos that were broadcast on public television. His breakthrough concert, Live at the Acropolis, yielded the second best-selling music video of all time. Additional historic sites for Yanni's concerts have included India's Taj Mahal, China's Forbidden City, the United Arab Emirates' Burj Khalifa, Russia's Kremlin, Puerto Rico's El Morro castle, Lebanon's ancient city of Byblos, Tunisia's Roman Theatre of Carthage, India's Laxmi Vilas Palace, and the Egyptian pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza.
Yanni (birth name Yiánnis Hryssomállis) is a Greek musician.

(Break Away) IT consumes your life
Everything you do revolves around it
Is this a privilege or a disaster?
(Break Away)
What once was true
Now seems that it’s fucking foul
Are we closing in on the final hour?
A once red hot flame
Seems to smolder away
So do we carry on
Or watch it slip away
So Break Away- Or see it through
Snap the chains
Is this what we should do
So break away 0 or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
Day in day out
The sacrifice is immeasurable
The lengths to which
You’ve gone to make this work
Will never be understood
It’s so funny how you can feel on top
Of the world one minute
And want this dead and gone the next
Now let fate take it’s course
You would give your life just to have it all
Can you see
The writing on the wall
Is this what you deserve
For all you have given
Is the end near
Or has paranoia set in
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is what you should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My vision is so hazy tonight
My minds been diluted with hate
Help me escape
Hey hey
Do you think that this is the end
It seems like that this is the end
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is that what we should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My minds been diluted with hate
