Naked Legs

A song I recorded at home. 

i am a tree, i am a loner, i am my enemy, i am my soldier. but why are we fighting someone else's war? why are we fighting someone else's war? i am a tree, i am a loner, i am my enemy, i am my soldier. but why are we fighting someone else's war? why are we fighting someone else's war? war? WHY? WHY? no war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war.

No War

This song is part of a side project in Arabic that I am working on. The first half of the song is in English and the second half is in Arabic, featuring a Mahmoud Darwish poem. Follow to get notices when more releases come out soon.

Lyrics:
I'm down by the sea door
I'm down there now, by the sea door
Take my hands

You flash to me a light
To help me cross
You pull me up by the arms
Like some infant babe

Come down, Come down by the sea door
Come down by the sea door

You in infinite space
Endlessly erasing my earth days
You dressed in orange haze
Pull me up like
Some infant babe

(Arabic part, starting at 2:31)

وكأنني قد متُّ قبل الآن
… أَعرفُ هذه الرؤيا، 
وأَعرفُ أَنني أَمضي إلى ما لَسْتُ أَعرفُ. 
رُبَّما ما زلتُ حيّاً في مكانٍ ما، 
وأَعرفُ ما أُريدُ …
سأصير يوما ما أريد

(As if I had died before now ... 
I know this dream, 
and I know that I'm walking to the unknown.
 Maybe.. I'm still alive somewhere and I know what I want!
someday I’ll be what I want!)
Arabic Poem by Mahmoud Darwish.

Disappearing Hearts

Charls Ava is a border-dweller of the highest order--her music art lives where continents meet and cultures transact. Born and raised in the USA to Egyptian immigrant parents, she had a long run in New York City working as a session singer, mainly singing big commercials. She had some moments: singing backup for M.I.A. and once performing for French first lady Carla Bruni. Ultimately, she began to feel a scream within, to move on and create her own music in a new environment. She left and moved to Cairo to live and make music. Cairo, a crowded city, is ancient and modern, with a million people going their own way on any given street. A place fusing noise, improvisation and an underground creativity. It was the right place for the journey ahead.
