I am releasing this track to help bring attention to the ongoing protests in Iran. The people of Iran, particularly the women, have been fighting for their rights and freedom for far too long. The recent death of Mahsa Amini in police custody has sparked a new wave of protests and has brought to light the ongoing oppression faced by the Iranian people.

The Iranian government has a long history of suppressing dissent and violating human rights. The people of Iran have been denied their basic rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of the press. The Iranian regime has also been known to use violence and intimidation to silence those who dare to speak out against their oppressive policies.

But in the face of this oppression, the people of Iran have not given up. They have risen up and taken to the streets, demanding their rights and calling for change. The women of Iran, in particular, have been at the forefront of these protests, leading the charge and inspiring others to join in.

These protests are not just about one individual's death, but also about the systemic oppression and human rights violation that have been happening for decades. It is about the long-standing struggle for freedom and equality.

We must support the people of Iran in their struggle for freedom and democracy. We must raise our voices in solidarity with the protesters and call for an end to the repression and violence inflicted on them by the Iranian government.

Let us stand in solidarity with the people of Iran and demand an end to the oppressive policies of the Iranian regime. We must support the women of Iran who are leading the way in the fight for freedom and democracy.

"Tavanayi-haye-hijani" (توانایی های هیجانی) is the name of this track because it reflects the powerful and resilient spirit of the women who are leading the protests in Iran. The term "Tavanayi" means capability, it represents the ability to take control of one's emotions and harness them to achieve positive outcomes. The term "haye hijani" means emotional, it represents the emotional struggle that the people of Iran are facing as they fight for their rights and freedom. This name encapsulates the sense of determination and resilience of the protesters, and the sense of urgency and seriousness of the situation in Iran.

The use of breakbeat dance music as the genre for the track is fitting as it reflects the energy and passion of the protests. The upbeat and uplifting nature of the music captures the spirit of the movement and encourages listeners to join the fight for freedom and democracy in Iran. The use of these sounds and style also reflects the spirit of resistance and defiance, as it is a genre of music that is often associated with counterculture and social change.

Tavanayi - Haye - Hijani ( توانایی های هیجانی )

یک روز تو تهران
بارون می باره /گرد و غبارو
می شوره از رو دلایِ مَردم /یک روز تو تهران
بارون می باره/ بارونِ بوسه، بارونِ لبخند، بارونِ گندم /یک روز تو تهران
بارون می باره /یک روز که ابری تو آسمون نیست/ یک روز که رویِ سرِ ترانه
سایه ی ترس و خط و نشون نیست/ قطره به قطره بارون می باره/ تویِ هر قطره صد تا کبوتر/ صد تا ستاره نم ...نم می بارن /رو سرِ نسلِ با هم برابر /قطره به قطره بارون می باره/تویِ هر قطره صد تا کبوتر /صد تا ستاره
صد تا ترانه /رو سرِ نسلِ با هم برابر /یک روز تو تهران
بارون می باره
یکی از همین روزایِ ساده /هرکی گرسنه ست میشه سیرِ سیر /هرکی سواره ست میشه پیاده
بارون می باره، بارون می باره
اون قدر که این شهر
سبزِ سبز بشه /اون قدر که زیرِ بارون گم بشه /دستی که رویِ گل خط می کشه /قطره به قطره بارون می باره /تویِ هر قطره صد تا کبوتر/ صد تا ستاره نم نم می بارن
رو سرِ نسلِ با هم برابر
