Ahwak Laou Ansak

We never released this remix , but i like it ! 

the song was written with Yasmine Hamdan , Rabih Mroue , Walid Sadeck and me . 

We were sitting doing a composition game , one gives a chord , the other gives a melody , the other  a piece of lyrics and after a few minute a song exists. 

Wadih Saffieddine ( our manager at the time was typing on his computer at this time and we were asking him to join , the song was called after him at the end ! i hope u enjoy...

I ve always been a huge fan of Mohamed Abdallah from EL MOraba3  , i asked him to co write this track with me . 

"Oulouleh leh" means tell me why 

Tell me why , i don t deserve a little bit of love ,
grain per grain , why ?

قولولي ليه قولولي ليه .. ليه ليه .. ليه

ما بيحقلي شوية محبة ليه .. حبة حبة .. ليه ليه
 
ما عندي بيت احميه ما عندي جرح اداويه  تخليت و ما حسيت ..  اذا غربتي بتحميك غربتك ما بتسعني ليه ليه ما 
تسعني ليه ...
قولولي ليه قولولي ليه .. ليه ليه .. ليه
ما بيحقلي شوية محبة ليه .. حبة حبة .. ليه ليه 
ما بصحّلي لحظة وحدة ليه بتكفيني صمت العالم اجمعين
ما بيحقلي شوية محبة ليه .. حبة حبة .. ليه ليه

Mannak same3        U re not hearing 
Srkhet el khei            the scream of the brother

Saf2it Slah                      a load of weapons
mallet bawakher            filled ships

Music and Lyrics by :Muhammad Abdallah  ,Tanjaret Daghet  and Zeid Hamdan .

B'يT ( Home ) is a project by Muhammad Abdallah ( Palestine )  ,Tanjaret Daghet ( Syria ) and Zeid Hamdan ( Lebanon ) 

B'ي T (Home)  was born from our desire as artists from the MENA to create a common plateform that transcends physical borders where we could put our musical  ideas together , a simple tasteful musical collaboration baked in the intimacy of our home studios . It s the first step of a developing project that will translate hopefully into many more collaborations.

بيت

Zekrayat

this is one of the themes i have composed for " Roundtrip " , a film by  the Syrian director  Meyar Al-Roumi.
this piece was recorded between Beirut and Fraizer Park California .
I recorded Buzuk , guitalele , kalimba and melodica 
Miles Jay recorded Lyra , accordeon , contrebass and percussions.
This version is different from the one in the movie. I hope u ll have the chance to see it at the Dubai film festival , if it wins a prize it will hopefully be screened in some theatres around the world. ( finger crossed )

Round trip  theme 1

“بيت” مشروع إبداعي بين ثلاث من أهم الموسيقيين على الساحة الموسيقية المستقلة. بالرغم من أثرهم على الحركة الفنية في أوطانهم، لم يجدوا مكاناً لاحتضانهم في وطن.
البحث عن الهوية، الحدود و العائلة هم مفاتيح هذا المشروع الموسيقي الحر من القيود و المنفتح بين أفراده.
 
Home is the merging of 3 essential live acts of the Lebanese Syrian and Palestinian Arab indie music scene . Although they have had an important  impact on  their respective communities , they still don t have a place to call home.
Through this open collaborative  plateform they have built a musical project that questions the concepts of identity , borders and family.

Lyrics :

تحت الورد
نيّم، نيّمنا
العريس و ودعناه
ثوب العرس لبّس
لبّسنا
و قلنالو وينك يا
وينك يا بو
الوج الحلو
و الغالي
على قليبي وحدك
عالصخر مهدي

————

تحت السما
جنينة روحي
و فضة و دهب
نزين داري
هالي صحابي
و ناسي
يرجعوا مرة يقولوا

قوم إمشي
و تعالي
يا مين ودّع حبيبو
يرجعلو حلو ملبس
ورد و مزين
و نرقص بالعرس
نرقص بالعرس


Lyrics by Lynn Adib

Lyrics:

ُلو كان قلبي معي ما اخترتُ غيركم
و لا رضيتُ سواكم في الهوا بدلا

لكنه راغبٌ في من يعذّبه 
و ليس يقبل لا لوماً و لا عدلا

يا من حوى ورد الرياض بخدّه
وحاكى قضيب الخيزران بقدّه
دع عنك ذا السيف الذي جرّدته
عيناك أمضى من مضارب حدّه
 
كلّ السيوف قواطعٌ إن جُرّدت
وحسام لحظك قاطع في غمده
إن شئت تقتلني فأنت محكّم 
من ذا يطالب سيّداً في عبده
