Oh Abufares … what absolutely wonderful words. I read it twice it is so lovely. Waxing Poetic …
I am not even certain that there is anything I can add. I am sure as I read it over again. It will come to me. But for now I let your words dance in my head like there own powerful song.

Ah Isobel
The music is ever so enticing, daydreaming so liberating but the eventual fulfillment of reality is the one that is rewarding the most.
Our lives are shaped, to a certain extent, by words we say or write. Words changed my life forever and made it such a beautiful and serene oasis in the middle of a desert.
Lost and clueless in a sandstorm I was brought back to safety with the power of words, or was it the power of love...

Music is the life blood of the soul as far as I'm concerned, Abu Fares. Wonderful post. I was intrigued by the mixture of music, daydream, and reality. Its amazing how the first two serve to effectively soften the latter as the three blend together. :)

@Dubai Jazz
It's a beautiful song and thanks for introducing me, yet again, to music I didn't know existed.
Music's greatest contribution to the human race (IMHO) is to increase our inner sensitivity.

As we lawyers say: "ubi societa ibi ius", i.e, wherever there is society, there is law.
The same can be said about music. I guess it is inherent to the human nature.

Abu Fares, IMHO, the flow of good music will never stop as long as there are human beings toying with their guitars and trying to convey a message through the words: here's one of my favorite songs of all times:

...........

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done!!

"A man walking alone on a deserted beach, brandishing a lantern in his outstretched hand might be a fool. But, for a ship that went astray on a stormy night, the same man is a savior."

2009-04-18T01:06:00.000+03:00

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Dont give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, Im coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what youre told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

[click of tv being turned on]
Well, only got an hour of daylight left. better get started
Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?
Itll be a lot less safe to stay here. youre fathers gunna pick up our trail before long
Can loca ride?
Yeah, I can ride... magaret, time to go! maigret, thank you for everything
Goodbye chenga
Goodbye miss ...
Ill be back

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And shes buying a stairway to
