The Reader was brought to me one afternoon in the summer of 2010 after watching the film of the same name.  I was moved by the story’s portrayal of how the past lives on inside us and how certain events will remain with us until the end.  I spent the next couple of hours at the piano, playing the changes over and over – transfixed by the beautiful sorrow I found in this simple theme. Eventually my playing became too exuberant for the many items sitting on top of the piano and down came an African stringed instrument, a large unframed painting and a white orchid in full bloom.  Miraculously I was able to catch both the neck of the instrument and the painted canvas, but alas, the orchid was sacrificed to the gods of song.

"Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life"
— Ludwig Van Beethoven ♫

کسی که ندیده است دستی را که با نوازش می کُشد، زندگی را خوب ننگریسته است.

فكم ذا أنت مَخدوعٌ وَحَتّى
متى لا تَرعَوي عنها وحتّى

When you buy a one-way ticket, you probably are certain why you're going. And what you will be doing there. But when the airplane flies towards the west it's not only the seconds that turn back, you also turn back. You turn so far back that all the old uncertainties return.

Where am I going?
Why am I going?

بلیط یکطرفه که میخری، لابد مطمئنی که چرا داری میری و اونجا چه کار خواهی کرد.
ولی وقتی هواپیما به سمت غرب پرواز میکنه فقط ثانیه ها نیستن که به عقب برمیگردن، تو هم برمیگردی. اونقدر عقب که تردیدها همه برمیگردند...

کجا دارم میرم؟
چرا دارم میرم؟

I make a living by Medicine, but I can't live without Music!
& I believe I'm a Musician in the parallel world regardless of the hard science I do in this world SO:
"Thank you Music for being there when no-one else was!"
(To Artists: Please do NOT unsolicitedly message your tracks  more than once, Thanks)

به خودش قول یک زندگی بهتر رو داد، رفت و هیچوقت پشت سرش رو نگاه نکرد ...
