The One I Love

Leviathan

There's a murmur.
On the breeze,
There is holding on as you float out at sea.
There's a love song.
That we waived.
There's a cradle. 
There's a grave.

There's a fractured melody.
There are people having riots in the street.
Life's a journey.
On the dole.
You do not get the time to work out any goals.
A quiet murmur.
Save your soul.

There's a murmur,
On the wind.
It's impossible to know where to begin.
Give your labour.
To your love.
You will always feel that judgment from above.

All the shouting,
From the screen.
When we turned it off, they did not have the means.
There is black,
and there is white.
There is half a chance that neither one is right.
Just a murmur.
Of a fight.

There's a man who.
Went to space.
When he crashed to earth, they didn't know his face.
There's a road to Mandalay.
Why are you so bothered what them people say?

Something changing.
For the good.
Someone helping you to navigate the woods.
Something growing.
Something strong.
It'll be alright if you ignore what's wrong.
Just a murmur.
Just a song.


Murmur

"A Page to Forget" is my debut song, a piece in which I poured all my heart and soul. Sung in three languages – Spanish, English, and French – this song reflects the pain, regret, and desire to forget a love that consumed me. I wrote this piece in my most vulnerable moments when I felt the weight of the past pressing on my soul, and the silent war within me needed to be expressed.

Through deeply emotional lyrics, I tell a story of betrayal, loneliness, and the struggle to move forward, even when your heart tells you it wants to go back. "A Page to Forget" is about those dark nights when you wrestle with thoughts and memories you wish you could erase, but which remain deeply rooted.

The fact that I combined lyrics in Spanish, English, and French is a tribute to how love transcends any border and language. I wanted every listener to find a part of my story to relate to, regardless of the language. Through this song, I tried to convey the intensity of the emotions I felt and create an atmosphere that makes you live each word and note.

I hope "A Page to Forget" touches the hearts of those who listen to it, just as it touched mine when I wrote it. This is the beginning of a musical journey for me, and I am eager to share more of my stories.

A Page To Forget

"Once Upon A Time" is not just a song; it is part of the story of my life and that of my parents, Samir and Amina al Khalidi. Together, we have lived through moments that changed us forever, moments of loss but also survival. Following the 2015 airstrikes on Damascus, carried out by the Russian Air Force, I lost both of my younger brothers, leaving me as my parents' only child. Together with my mother, we sing this duet not just for ourselves, but for all the lost voices and for all those who still hope for a better future after the darkness of war.

We left Syria in 2020 when I was just 13 years old, leaving behind a world in ruins, but carrying with us the memories and the desire to rebuild something new. Over the years, I have watched how my parents, especially my mother, have kept their courage and dignity, despite all the challenges. My mother's voice is strong and clear because she has brought not just harmony, but also the strength to move forward, even in the hardest times. Singing with her, I want to pay tribute to everything she has done and continues to do.

Through "Once Upon A Time", I want to show the world that although we have been devastated by the past, we are capable of rising from the ashes, rebuilding our lives, and holding on to hope. The lyrics speak of the longing for home, the silent tears, and the stories that only wounded hearts can tell. But at the same time, they also speak of light, of a new day that will come, and of the strength to continue, even when everything seems lost.

When I sing with my mother, I hope the audience understands this struggle is not just individual. It is the story of many who have been forced to leave their country, of those who have lost their family, but who have not lost hope. I want this song to be an emotional refuge for those who have gone through similar experiences. I want people to feel that they are not alone and that there is a light at the end of the road, no matter how dark it may seem.

For me, "Once Upon A Time" means remembering everything we were, but also preparing for what we can become. It is about rebirth, about love, and peace. When my voice blends with my mother's, I feel that this story becomes whole. It is as if together, we can heal the wounds of the past and transform pain into hope.

Verse I:

In the silent night I hear the echoes,
Of a land I left behind in flames.
Shadows whisper tales of sorrow,
Faces lost with forgotten names.

Verse II: 

بقلبي حنين لوطني الجريح،
شوارع الصبا وأغاني الفرح.
دمعة تسيل على الخد بصمت،
وصوت ينادي: متى يأتي الصبح؟

Chorus:

From the ashes we will rise,
With the strength to touch the skies.
Carry hope within our eyes,
Let the dawn heal our cries.

Verse III:

خطواتي ترسم طريق النجاة،
والأمل يشرق رغم المآسي.
نغني للحياة بعد الظلام،
ونرسم غدًا بألوان الأسى.

Bridge:

نرفع الأيدي نحو النور،
نرسم حلمًا يداوي الجروح.


Verse IV:

نبني من الحطام صرح الأمل،
وننسج من الألم ثوب السلام.
نطلق من القلوب نورًا جديدًا،
ونكتب بالحب أعذب كلام.

Chorus:

From the ashes we will rise,
With the strength to touch the skies.
Carry hope within our eyes,
Let the dawn heal our cries.

Interlude:

Though the nights are long and cold,
In our hearts, a story unfolds.

Chorus Arabic:

من الرماد سننهض دومًا،
بقوة نبلغ بها النجوم.
نحمل الأمل في عيوننا،
ويشفي الفجر كل الهموم.

Chorus:

From the ashes we will rise,
With the strength to touch the skies.
Carry hope within our eyes,
Let the dawn heal our cries.
