Compact Grey - S.A.Y.

Intro – whisper and wind]
يا واحةَ السماءْ... يا واحةَ السماءْ  
جئنا من البُعدِ، نحملُ الحكاياتْ  
(“O Oasis of Heaven... we came from afar, carrying stories.”)

[Verse 1 – male lead vocal]
الرملُ صارَ ذهباً، حينَ لمسْناهْ  
والريحُ صارت نغماً، حينَ سمعْناها  
في عيونِنا ضوءُ المدى  
وفي قلوبِنا ظلُّ الدعاءْ  

[Chorus – male & female choir, rhythmic, joyful]
يا واحةَ السماءْ... يا واحةَ السماءْ  
نَحنُ الّذينَ عَبَروا الظِّلالْ  
يا واحةَ السماءْ... يا واحةَ السماءْ  
في مائِكِ نَغسِلُ أرواحَنا  

[Instrumental – qanun & oud duet over daf rhythm]
(qanun plays cascading melody, oud responds; daf builds festive tribal groove)

[Verse 2 – female voice, soft, spiritual]
نَسيمُكِ طيبٌ كالحُلمْ  
يُعيدُ للقلوبِ السكونْ  
يا واحةَ النُّورِ، يا بيتَ السلامْ  
فيكِ نولدُ من جديدْ  

[Refrain – male chorus + handclaps]
واحةُ السماءْ... بيتُ النُّورْ  
واحةُ السماءْ... بيتُ النُّورْ  
(“Oasis of heaven… house of light.”)

[Bridge – ney solo + rhythmic chants]
يا... يا... يا سلامْ  
(chant repeats 3x with crescendo percussion – daf, udu, darbuka)

[Final chorus – full tribal celebration]
يا واحةَ السماءْ... يا واحةَ السماءْ  
فيكِ نَحيا... فيكِ نَحلمْ  
يا واحةَ السماءْ... يا واحةَ السماءْ  
صوتُ الرّوحِ عادَ إلى البيتْ  

[Outro – fading wind and distant choir]
[Intro – whisper and wind]
يا واحةَ السماءْ... يا واحةَ السماءْ  
جئنا من البُعدِ، نحملُ الحكاياتْ  
(“O Oasis of Heaven... we came from afar, carrying stories.”)

DI-RECT is an alternative rock band from the Netherlands, founded in 1999. 

They've played over 2000 shows, recorded 7 studio albums and topped the charts numerous times. With its explosive, energetic live shows and melodic songs, DI-RECT is a highly appreciated act in and outside the Netherlands.

In 2009 Marcel Veenendaal joined the band as the new lead singer. The first single in this new line-up was ‘Times are Changing’, which became the band’s first number 1 hit. A dream start which unleashed a whole new era of creativity. Over the years DIRECT is praised for the capability of frequently reinventing themselves musically, while maintaining a distinctive sound.

In 2015 DI-RECT celebrated their 15 year anniversary with a hometown gig on the beach in The Hague for 12.500 people.

Recently the band released their new album "Rolling with the Punches". An exciting new record on which DI-RECT expresses themselves with a completely new sound. Contagious grooves, hot riffs, well crafted songs and a lot of energy. In the fall of 2017 DI-RECT presented this new album during their biggest club show to date at the AFAS Live (Former Heineken Music Hall). 

Recently DI-RECT received an Edison (Dutch Grammy) award for their latest record "Rolling with the Punches".
