Fish Out of Water

OFFICIAL PLAYLIST

Eric Metaxas infused Fish Out of Water with a cornucopia of references to music. From Ki Ypermaho Stratego, the song he sang with his father when he was six… to the indelible ethnic-American popular hits of his Queens, New York and Danbury, Connecticut youth… to the classical music references that underscore Metaxas and his Mother’s return to East Germany… Fish Out of Water literally overflows with musical context.

About Ki Ypermaho Stratego, Metaxas writes:

It is a prayer from the Greeks to the Virgin Mary (the Theotokos), asking her to deliver them from the the Ottoman Turks, who were besieging Constantinople in 1453.

So it is only fitting that Metaxas is memorializing the publication of Fish Out of Water by releasing his own, hand-curated playlist. At once epic, wistful, and hilarious, it is nothing less than the soundtrack to the first half of a heroic, first-generation American odyssey.
