A compilation of various live performances by The D/A Method.

The D/A Method Live

A solo rendition of Khudhafiz performed and recorded by Usama at Mauerfall Kollektiv in Berlin, Germany. Mastered by Umair Dar at A for Aleph in Karachi, Pakistan.

Khudahafiz originally appeared as the second track on The D/A Method's sophomore album, 'The Desert Road'. 

Lyrics (Siddiq)

Oh God, please do explain
Why my hands are trembling as I lay in bed
I see a shrouded head and I’m feeling
So ashamed

Why should we say goodbye?
To you before it’s time for you to leave
With your beliefs, I feel there…
Was more to see (from you)

Why do I never learn?
They’ve left no stone unturned to plague my land
But I’m a selfish man, I’ve been fooled
That was not the plan

And now I sing for you 
A song that makes me blue
But I can’t pretend that you weren’t my friend
Even if I was the end (for you)

I’m tired of going through it all
In my head, this time, the world just falls right underneath
The surface of my skin
This love and hate just pulls me in

I wish for someone else
But I can only blame myself
Keep telling me I'm innocent
And why would I be born in sin?

I'm sorry but I don't believe
A single word you've said to me 
'Cause if we're being honest
This is not what I was promised 

In my simple words now I must tell you
All about the lies they sell you blindly 
You just soak them in
Expecting to be born again 

Born again

Khudahafiz (Usama Solo Version)

Lyrics:
There must exist a combination of words I could say,
That would make everything okay,
And as I kissed the scars on your wrist,
Did something inside you come back to life?

What can I do to convince you to keep breathing x2

Your cold feet on marble floors and dirty paws of your closest dogs
If there's a way to begin a new life from the start, you'd know it

What can I do to convince you to keep breathing x2

Breathe

The first track off our album 'The Desert Road' Performed live at Angel Recording Studios in London, November 2016.

(Dar/Alvie)
Sirens cry into the night
When darkness falls
Violent days are up ahead
There is no hope
There’s an evil all around
These hearts of stone
Fires rage, the city breaks
We need a home

There’s still time to change it all
A brand new start
Colours fade to green and white
The flags of our fathers
Throw your chains, stand on your own
A dream not far
Turning back the clock again
A brand new heart

I don’t want to walk away (don’t look back)
Walk away (don’t look back)
There is nothing in the black
Running through (world unknown)
I’m running through (this world unknown)
Will we ever find our home?

Dream Sequence
(Alvie/Siddiq)

There’s so many things I can’t deliver
Even if I try I just need to hide…
Behind closed doors, I might forgive her
But each time I try she just hurts my pride

“Show it off” you told me, “never”
But even when I want, I have nothing to flaunt

Look what it’s done to me (I can’t believe it)
A blackened reality (I can’t believe it)
It’s right in front of me (I can’t believe it)
The freak everyone can see

As the sun comes up I start to shiver
Just as they foretold, is how things unfold
When I was young I was so clever
But I sure as hell was not... a belated thought

I’m a liar, I’m a sinner
I am any one of them
Face me at my worst how can you
Say you are my fucking friend

Look what it’s done to me (I can’t believe it)
A blackened reality (I can’t believe it)
It’s right in front of me (I can’t believe it)
The freak everyone can see

I feel it, it’s happening again
This feedback in my head
(I’m barely moving, I am consumed)
I feel it, it’s happening again
This feedback in my head
(I’m barely breathing, I’m so confused)
I feel it, it’s happening again
This feedback in my head

Dream Sequence (Brooklyn Remix)

The first-ever live performance of The Desert Journey recorded at Alliance Francais, Karachi on 13 February 2016. 

Last night I lost my head
A quarter after ten
I wish I could tell someone
Exactly how that felt
But in this desert land
Nothing will be know
For in this desert sand
Nothing can be sown

That's how I lost my head
A quarter after ten
I wish I could show you all
These demons and regrets
But in this desert sand
Nothing should be sown
For in this desert land
Nothing can be known

Guest musicians in this performance - 
Waqas Hussain: Sitar
Gul Muhammad: Sarangi
Zohaib Hussain: Tabla

The Desert Journey (Live in Karachi)

One of our earliest performances of Angels & Djinn live at The Premises in London in April of 2015. For this session, we had Adil Azim on bass and Raheel Manzar Paul filling in on drums for Istvan.

(Dar/Alvie)
Hey, I heard you call my name
I heard you went insane
Life is not a game
Wish you were here to stay
In your messed up way
I heard you call my name

Won’t you take a ride?
Won’t you kill some time?
Can you find a way to me?

I don’t have a lot of time
The whole world is mine
Give me a sign
Let me know you’re mine
Maybe just a smile
Let me in a while

Won’t you take a ride?
Won’t you kill some time?
Can you find a way, to me?
Won’t you take a ride?
Won’t you kill some time?
Can you find a way to me?
