دل اگر دير زمانيست جدا مانده از اين روح بلند
ريسمان است كه از دست كوته بوده
جان اگر خالى از اين عشق از اين پر باريست
كاسه مهر تو از كنج لبم كم بوده

بهتر آن نيست تو بردارى از آن دورقدم
دست بندازى و از دل گرهى بگشايى؟
بهتر آن نيست در اين بى مهرى
تو بجنگى، تو بميرى، تو كرم بگذارى؟

وقت بگذشت و در اين شهر بلند
همچنان مانده به اميد تو، دلباخته، افسرده، پريشان، دربند
بهترين داده اين زندگى كوته را
به تو بستم انگار
كه خودم بگزينم
كه خودم بردارم
كه خودم بگذارم.


و نپرسيدم از اين خويش، از اين وجدان درآخر روز
من چه كردم كه شعف انگيزم دردل تو؟
من چه كردم امروز؟ 
من چه كردم امروز؟

شعر: آیدا شاه قاسمی

همه چیز تقصیر باد است

Kelly Thoma's debut album.

The word Anamkhara derives from the Irish Gaelic language and means "friend of the soul".

All of the tracks on the CD are composed and arranged by Kelly Thoma, who is one of the core members of Ross Daly's "Labyrinth" ensemble for the past ten years. Her chosen instrument is the Cretan lyra which she plays in her own unique way, reflecting the rich experience which she has gained in Labyrinth through her collaborations with master musicians from various countries. Her compositions reveal a rich imagination and a wise and mature balance between the indispensable discipline and austerity which characterize the traditions she has studied, and the creative expression, free of dogmatic attitudes, which is the fundamental need of any young artist. The sound of many bowed instruments in combination with the exceptional percussion work of Zohar Fresco is the hallmark of the album.

Four other significant musicians of international stature participate on the album, Efrén López on the vielle a roué, Pedram Khavar Zamini on the Iranian tombak, Ahmet Erdoğdular with a vocal improvisation in the Turkish gazel style, and Ross Daly on the tarhu and Cretan lyra.
