Never Be That Tough (Don't Turn Your Back On Love)

by Simone White and Samuel Bing
Produced by Adam Samuel Goldman
cover art design by Alex Mata

when I first met you
back in December
I think I thought I knew
I knew better

but now spring is around us
feels like a change is really happening
and everything is possible
I should know by now
you have to surrender to love

don't turn your back on love
'cause you could never be that tough

when I looked at you
it's like I could remember 
that this goes on and on
forever and ever
there's nothing we could do 
to make it better

don't turn your back on love
'cause you can never have enough

one day you'll find
maybe this time
you could lose everything
and it would still be alright

don't turn your back on love
'cause you could never be that tough

Don't Turn Your Back On Love

This is my first collection of voices of Iranian women. It contains music produced by Iranian female singers and musicians, whose voices have been suppressed in recent years. They are forbidden from singing alone and can only sing along with men.

This is my contribution to reversing this cycle. These songs only have female singers and men -at most- just play along.

I hope you enjoy these beautiful voices and peaceful sounds as much as I do. And if you do, please share it with other friends! Of course I also welcome any feedback. 
Follow me @moji-taali for more upcoming sets.

Voice Of Iranian Women #01

from the album Yakiimo (Honest Jon's 2009, on the digital version only)

Freight Train
by Elizabeth Cotten with lyric changes by Simone White

freight train freight train
going so fast
freight train freight train
going so fast
please don't tell what train I'm on
so they won't know where I'm gone

when I'm dead and in my grave
no more whiskey will I crave
place the bottle on my head and feet
tell em all I've gone to sleep

when I'm dead lord bury me deep
underneath that old apple tree
I'll be in the fruit you eat
and it will taste mighty sweet


Freight Train (Elizabeth Cotten cover)

A melodic ambient cover of the Johnny Cash song "Balshazzar" from the forthcoming album "CASH and CARRIE".

"Simone White has a voice like ether. It's sweetly airy and hypnotic. Hearing it can pull you under to a strangely beautiful, glittering world where nothing seems real." - NPR 
Here are some of my songs that you might not find elsewhere (B-sides, demos, remix, live, guest vocalist)  xo
