Song Description – “The Sacrifices”

The Sacrifices is a jazz-funk track with a groove that carries more than rhythm—it carries a story carved out of betrayal, broken trust, and the raw weight of human emotion. Written back in 1994 and inspired by a true story, the song reflects on a friendship tested and shattered when loyalty gave way to temptation. The lyrics cut like confessionals, detailing the pain of watching someone you trusted step into the arms of the one you loved.

First released in 2014 on my debut double album Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams, the track has always stood as one of the album’s most personal moments. Now, in 2025, The Sacrifices returns as an AI-reimagined version, built upon the 2014 recording but re-envisioned with fresh textures, sharper production, and a deeper cinematic edge.

This new release doesn’t erase the original—it amplifies it. The funk basslines still throb with tension, the rhythm still walks that line between bitterness and swagger, but the new AI production allows the track to breathe with the clarity and power it always deserved.

At its heart, The Sacrifices is about choices, regrets, and the cost of losing sight of what truly matters. It’s a story that began in the past but feels just as relevant today.

THE SACRIFICES

[Verse 1]
I heard a rumor
They say you are alone
No one to run to
No friends on the phone
So tell me

[Chorus]
What you gonna do now your love has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Verse 2]
The girl and I were over, it wasn't meant to be
But I trusted you, you were a friend and I told you everything
You listened like a friend should and helped me through it all
But I hear it through the grapevine, see you walking out her door

[Chorus]
So what you gonna do now your love has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
So how am I supposed to feel when I told you everything
When I see you drive up, then watch the bedroom lights go dim
So I hear you blame me, your friends are not around
I've put the knife right in your back and no one's to be found now

[Verse 4]
But don't go blame me, it wasn't like that at all
And don't find excuses, you make yourself look small
It wasn't me who changed them, it's you, can't you see
You left without a trace and you didn't care for anything

[Pre-chorus]
You thought the grass was greener
You thought she'd make you smile
So tell me 

[Chorus]
What you gonna do now your love has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Chorus]
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong

[Outro]
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Who you gonna call it's been so long and so wrong
What you gonna do now the girl has gone
Sacrifices you have made now everything is wrong
(Yeah)

لو زغرد صوت البارود - رامي الهندي / يحيى باطا

في عرس قريبتي، واحنا بدار أهلها، مشغل الأغاني ما اشتغل، ست العروس علشان حفيدتها تبرعت انها تبلش بأغاني تراثية لحفيدتها عشان تحل مشكلة المسجل.
هاد الصوت صوت ست العروس، حبيت اني اسجله وأنشره حفظا لتراثنا الفلسطيني

كلمات الأغنية:
وشو طلب بيّك، طلبه على الراس...
طلب ميتين بارودة ومعمّرات رصاص...
وشو طلب بيك، طلبه عليي...
طلب ميتين بارودة عحبى عنيي...
********
كتينا السمسم باب العلالي
واحنا تربينا وربانا غالي...
كتينا السمسم باب العلّية
واحنا تربينا وربانا غيه
كتينا السمسم باب المضافة
واحنا تربينا ربانا شرافي

لا تطلعي يا آلاء تا توخذي المية
هيلج بارود مجوهر على كتوف الفدائية
هيلج بارود معمر مع الفدائية
