Lyrics:

After what was said
I can't help but sleep with one eye open
The integrity of what we share
Is now unconvincing
The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said

After what was said
The things you really think of me
That's fine
Cause I think that you're pathetic really
Just like your family
The words break free
Much too easily
My best friend
I can't forget
What was said

There's a hole in everything
And I have yet to see the proof
Of friendship 'til the end
And not 3/4 the way through
Of love that perseveres
When seen in close-up too
My dear friend

A heart cannot be true
Not completely, so what to do?
I've always left just as the leaves were changing hue
Why give life the chance
To make another mockery 
Of our dear romance
Better to come and go
Honor the weeds as they are meant to grow

There's a hole in everything
And there's nothing you can do
It's always out with the old
And in with the new
No love without the whisperings
So why pretend it's otherwise
Better to be on the road
Than in a house of cards and lies
I rid myself of friendships
With fungus on the rim
Of love that had gone sour
A merciful killing
Rid of insincerities
And rid of all poison
I sent them all to hell
And nobody was left

The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said

Faran Ensemble is a three player group, who joined each other in a
spiritual quest, expressed in music and sounds. It has been years now that
these players have deeply engaged themselves in studying the musical
instruments and the theory of music with the best teachers in the country
and abroad.

The instruments played originate from esoteric and ancient traditions of
the East.
KAMANTCHE is an ancient musical instrument whose origins are
rooted in Azerbaijan.
OUD, one of the most ancient string instruments, is found anywhere it is
customary to have very strong and dark tea in a small cup.
The Percussion which have been in use since the first human heartbeat.

The ensemble members grew up and come from different places,
backgrounds and sceneries. From the very dry desert to the luscious green
through the hectic noisy city sounds. The composed works reflect all of
these as they were composed together by the four ensemble members.
Both the composition-works and the musicians are deeply influenced by
the Eastern musical system called 'Maqam' .
Maqam in translation means all at once a physical place in the musical scale,
the fingers' placing on the strings and the melody which expresses this.
But more than that, 'Maqam' refers to a meditative place. A state that the
player must be attended so the music will be played as it should be.
In ancient cultures each Maqam has its own particular hour in the day,
season and a specific ceremonial connection.

Faran, is a dry desert wadi, which fills with water and life only in rainy
winters; and in the hot season, otherwise silent. It crosses Israel on its
way from Sinai, ignoring all borders.

Music for us is a journey.

Constantinople est un ensemble musical qui a choisi de faire du voyage son fondement – voyage géographique, historique, culturel, intérieur –, de s’abreuver à toutes les sources et de viser les horizons lointains. Empruntant son nom à l’ancienne cité phare éclairant l’Orient et l’Occident, l’ensemble a été imaginé comme un espace de rencontres et de métissages par son directeur artistique Kiya Tabassian et fondé en 1998 à Montréal.

Constantinople is a musical ensemble that chose the journey—geographical certainly, but also historical, cultural and inner—as its cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and aims for distant horizons. Inspired by the ancient city illuminating the East and West, Constantinople was founded in 1998 in Montreal by its artistic director, Kiya Tabassian.
