This 1989 single, "Yaşarken Ölenler / Karar Sende," features two of Özdemir's most poignant and enduring compositions. The A-side, "Yaşarken Ölenler," is a powerful ballad of heartbreak, while the B-side, "Karar Sende," offers a more philosophical reflection on choice and consequence.
- "Yaşarken Ölenler" translates to "Those Who Die While Living," a title that encapsulates the song's themes of despair and lost hope.
- "Karar Sende" means "The Decision is Yours," reflecting its lyrical content about personal responsibility and agency.
- Released on the İnanç Plak ve Kasetçilik label, this single further cemented Özdemir's reputation as a master of Turkish folk music during the late 1980s.
