LOST IN PALESTINE – Jazz Noir Ballad

A slow-burning 6/8 jazz piece laced with smoky lounge piano, brushed drums, and echoes of Arabic melody. Lost in Palestine follows my journey to Haifa in search of my mother’s ancestral home—erased after the 1948 Nakba, when my family was forced into exile.

I grew up in America speaking Arabic, tasting the foods and hearing the music of a place I’d never truly known. When I finally returned, the streets were renamed, the houses gone, history paved over. Yet the scent of olives, the jasmine night air, and my mother’s lullabies still called to me.

This track blends upright bass, warm jazz chords, and a hint of oud to capture that longing—part memory, part resistance. It’s a love letter to a homeland that lives on in spirit, even when maps and borders try to erase it.

🎷 Style & Mood: Slow jazz ballad with modal Arabic touches (Dorian/Phrygian).
🎶 Instrumentation: Upright bass, brushed drums, jazz piano, soprano sax, and subtle Middle-Eastern textures.
✨ Theme: Displacement, memory, and the unbreakable bond to one’s roots.

Press play, close your eyes, and drift through the echoes of a Haifa that still sings beneath the silence.

LYRICS

Zee bop a zen
Un-nah min wen

Midnight air on an empty street
Maps don’t match the dust beneath my feet
Names erased stone by stone
I search for a doorway that was once my own

Every sign is a stranger’s tongue
But my mother’s lullaby still hums
Through the jasmine and the broken walls
I hear her calling…calling

I’m lost in Palestine where the echoes hide
Haifa dreams on a restless tide
Roots like smoke in a wind that won’t stay
Home is a memory they can’t take away

Grandmother’s laughter, a cedar night
Photographs faded to silver light
Seventy-Eight long years of exile rain
Still her heartbeat whispers my name

I’m lost in Palestine, where the echoes hide
Haifa dreams on a restless tide
Roots like smoke in a wind that won’t stay
Home is a memory they can’t take away

I’m lost in Palestine but my soul still knows
The scent of the olives the path where it goes
Streets renamed but the sky’s the same
No map no border can erase that flame

Zee bop a zen
Un-nah min wen

Take a trip back to the golden era of West Coast Rap, the 90s! This album is fully inspired by my memories growing up in Southern California, listening to the classics by OG's like Snoop, Dre, Warren G, DJ Quik, Aztec Tribe, and Lighter Shade of Brown. This album was made for cruising the blvd, and riding out to....produced by me, I put a lot of time, energy, and creative vision into the making of this project! Take a trip with me through the Westside, through the eyes of a San Diego Player riding low. Enjoy!
