After working on this selection of songs for six and a half years, I'm incredibly excited and grateful to be able to share them with you.  This album reflects a significant growth for me, as a singer and songwriter.  Combining my lyrics with those of my teachers, and drawing on diverse musical genres from Jazz, Blues and Hard Rock, to Arabic, Indian, Turkish and East African music, I have pushed myself way out of my comfort zone into unfamiliar genres and completely new territory as an artist.  I hope you enjoy listening to them even more than I did composing them, arranging them, and recording them.

12 - Jashne Amade Rasul (WATER, rel. 2015)

I drift when I sleep
Written, recorded and performed by Pages in Clouds 2025

I been walkin’ through the city like a ghost with breath,
Heartbeat loud but I’m already close to death.
Not the coffin type, nah, this a mental slide,
Smiles fake, so I learned how to live inside.
They don’t hear me when I speak, so I mumble to pain,
Street full of people but I’m alone in the rain.
THEY said “pray,” but my prayers feel tired,
God seen my messages, left ‘em on read, I’m wired.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,


I don’t fit in the daylight, too much judgment,
Every move I make they weigh it, give it punishment.
So I fade when the sun up, breathe when it’s dark,
Only time I feel human is alone with my heart.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed.
Hide from the living, they don’t understand,
In my dreamworld, yeah, I finally stand.
No lies, no masks, no weight on my chest,
If I don’t wake up, just know I’m at rest.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,

Dreamworld got colors I ain’t seen before,
Skies don’t judge me, doors open, not doors.
I talk to my younger self, tell him “hold on,”
Tell him “you ain’t weak, you just been strong too long.”
In real life they say “man up,” “don’t cry,”


I see faces I lost, they ain’t cold, they smile,
Tell me “you gon’ be okay, just stay awhile.”
No sirens, no bills, no chains on my mind,
No clocks tickin’, no pressure from time.
Out here I’m survivin’, in there I’m alive,
That’s the truth they ignore when they say “you’ll be fine.”

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed.
Hide from the living, they don’t understand,
In my dreamworld, yeah, I finally stand.
No lies, no masks, no weight on my chest,
If I don’t wake up, just know I’m at rest.

I ain’t suicidal, I just need escape,
Tryna find a place where my soul feel safe.
If I vanish at night, don’t panic, don’t cry,
I’m just learnin’ how to live on the other side.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,

Morning come fast, nightmares turn real,
Alarm clock ring like “back to the field.”
Same pain, same faces, same walls close in,
But I keep that dream like a secret sin.
One day I’ll build that world when I’m awake,
Till then I sleep just to feel okay.

Yeah…
If you feel this, you not alone.
We all got a dreamworld we run to.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep.

I drift when I sleep

The Nasiri Dua is from the pen of the renowned Susi Shaykh of the Shadhiliyya Tariqa. Shaykh ibn Nasir (d. 1085 AH) was a Shaykh of instruction who made an important impact not only on his time but ever since through his baraka(blessings), his learning, his writings and the great Zawiya(the Sufi place of worship) and Madrassah (Muslim School). His Zawiya in Fez became the fountainhead of the national awakening which led to the liberation of the entire Maghrib from French colonialism. Faced with the massive military strength of France, its trained and technologically equipped army as well as its air force, the ulama (the Muslim Scholars) recognised that in military terms there was no chance of victory. It must be remembered that during this time French planes were indiscriminately bombing and machine-gunning those villages and settlements that resisted the occupation. The French bombing of the Moroccan Muslims was the model which the fascist forces of Germany and Italy were later to use in the bombing of Guernica and, then, across Europe. It was in this situation that Shaykh ibn Nasir adopted his position of the most powerful resistance to the enemy. He created a Dua (Supplication)  which adhered to an uncomprimising Tawhid (The oneness of Allah), and at the same time that it declared the Muslims' utter helplessness, it confirmed the absolute, unrelenting and inescapable power of Allah, glory be to Him. He then embedded this declaration of absolute dependence in the luminous and dazzling confirmation that Allah, glory be to Him, was the Answerer of supplications. The Shaykh, being the true voice of the Muslims, called Allah, glory be to Him, to rescue the Muslim people from the tyranny of the French hordes. In the shortest time the Dua swept across the Maghrib until it was being recited in almost every Mosque. The decadent French provincial governors began to sense that a new wind of defiance and hope was lifting the Moroccan people into a pride and defiance they had not seen. Despite the alcoholism and depravity of the French High Command their intelligence forces quickly traced this new spirit to the recitation of the Nasiri Dua. In desperation they informed Paris of this new problem. An order came from the President of France authorising the French forces to issue an edict banning the public recitation in the Mosques of the Nasiri Dua. When news of this reached the ulama and Sufis in the Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fez their hearts overflowed in recognition of The Nasiri Dua that conquered the military might of France. So it was that , from that day, an inspired people moved inexorably to independence from the French, and the restoration of a Sharifi kingship. What was the position of the Maghribi Muslims in the face of the occupation is now the position of the world's Muslims in the face of that tiny oligarchy which has swept aside national and international law, while deliberately bringing about the destruction of the planet in their ruthless control through the wealth of commodities, media and the usury finance system. It is important that the Muslims spread this Dua until its reverberation undermines the foundations of the current tyranny. It is not, however, a pyramid letter the spreading of which alone will secure success. The value of the Nasiri Dua is that, once understood and recited, the modern Muslim begins to think and plan and act in the clear recognition that the enemy are not strong, that their money is worthless, that their systematisation creates chaos and not order. By this Dua, we become the ones who can construct the future on the ruins now strewn across the deserts of humanism.
La ghalib illallah, Edited from the text of Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir As-Sufi, http://www.shaykhabdalqadir.com, English translation available at this link https://bewley.virtualave.net/Nasiri_Dua.pdf
