Fi Strive for greatness,we're never complacent -- insclife

Very interesting. In this piano piece I hear hope, tenderness, fragility and a lot of passion. In this sense, for me it is a fantastic sound pearl.

In the middle of last year I couldn’t stop writing hymns for whatever reason… every piece I wrote sounded like a hymn, every song I wrote was based on hymn-like chord progressions. I suppose it was my own way of playing some peace into the atmosphere when it seemed society was coming apart. It can be hard to know how to respond to things as an artist, but I have a deep belief that creating can bring about its own kind of healing—healing not just for the artist but for those who listen (or watch) as well. 

It’s compositionally my favorite track on the EP—I took a traditional-sounding progression and expanded it into something with a modern-classical flavor. I also just love how insanely creaky and old this one ended up sounding… like one of the dusty, forgotten, and out-of-tune pianos I’ve played in so many churches over the years. It’s also the most fun to play!

Standing Up Solo

New wars are raging, now in Gaza, I wish I could hug all the people who suffer them in first person, for all the hugs not given. Hold me close.


SI DEBO MORIR

Si debo morir, tú debes vivir para contar mi historia,  para vender mis cosas, comprar un trozo de tela y algunas cuerdas, (hazlo blanco con una cola larga) para que un niño, en algún lugar de Gaza…

mientras mira el cielo a los ojos esperando a su padre que se fue en llamas —y no te despidas de nadie, ni siquiera a su carne, ni siquiera a si mismo— Ve la cometa, mi cometa que tú hiciste, volando arriba  y piensa por un momento que un ángel está ahí, trae de vuelta el amor.

1979-2023 Refaat Alareer

Si debo morir  deja que traiga esperanza… deja que sea un cuento.
