I had been to a concert…

Saturday, October 11
t was perfect! My favorite Iranian singer is Alireza Asar…. He has a very strong voice… & miss poetess had bought us the first row tickets! He was singing in front of me! Very great time I had there tonight.
& yes Shirin Ebadi won the noble prize for peace! She is a lawyer & she had done so much for children welfare & manages some NGOs over here…. Tonight Asar had special thanks & well wishing for her….
Today seems very good day for me the news of the noble prize & listening to noble music is really charming! One of the songs played was “that’s not the shape of my heart” OSD of “specialist”… my friend briefly told me about the story… I can’t tell you how I felt … very much moved by that!
Actually it’s always like that with me. I let the music to take control of me…. Sometimes I feel I had traveled in time & space when a melody is in the air. I know nothing of music. I don’t ply anything. Yet it doesn’t stop me from drowning in notes, floating with rhythms or breathing with the beats!
Though melody & harmony are very important, I find lyrics (for the song only) as fundamental. Just some words & you feel your heart starts to race…. Tonight there was a song played about death… very moving. First I started to tremble but by the end of the track I was shivering holding my friends hands tightly… & my heart was beating like a bird….
Asar played some of his old compositions & there was one special song I really loved it goes like this:
Who is totally mad?
Who dies for your tune of laughter?
Who, when you are thirsty
Explore all the clouds
& dies but won’t let you in?
It’s me!
It’s me who sang your eyes poem
There are tears in my eyes still,
When I remember you!
You still strode in my dreams
In my dreams
In loving nights
I whisper to the lord above
I wish she would be back!
This music, this special song makes me wonder if any one can love me like this…. Except for my dad! (This is a song from a dad I guess)
My, we met one of the best songwriters in the hall… Shahkar Bineshpajhoh… (His name means “well-done” in English)!
Got to go to bed I cant lift my eyes… good night!
