Today my mom retrieved me an old cassette of mine :), back in time when I was young I used to buy blank cassettes and record my then favorite music on them so that I could have a tape full only of songs that I like and nothing else.
I would play those tapes on and on endlessly while I did what ever I had to do, play, cook, study , any thing . Today I relieved the situation again, it was like a deja vu :D cooking to my recorded music. It was great and funny in a way :D .
Funny because mainly I smiled at the cheesiness of some of the songs I chose to record back then :D :D I guess I can attribute that to the age I recorded it, the adolescence, little did I know about good music I suppose but probably my taste was under-development back then. I mean I had good music as well, but some songs in that tape I would never ever include in my favorite song's collection at all.
One of those Songs i'm sorry to declare is Lady, Kenny Rogers. I guess maybe in this particular song it is because it was almost a stable in every wedding I attended through the 1980s and early 90s , so may be I coupled it with romance as I imagined it back then :D :D Today If I'm choosing a romantic song to include in my romantic collection I'd probably not choose a song with that same atmosphere as "Lady".But then again, It might not be that cheesy after all and I just grew up and believe that romance is much more complicated than the simplicity of Lady ... don't know!.
ـ "... إن فى الإنسان منطقة عجيبة سحيقة لا تصل إليها الفضيلة ولا الرذيلة ، ولا تشع فيها شمس العقل والإرادة ، ولا ينطق لسان المنطق ، ولا تطاع القوانين والأوضاع ، ولا تتداول فيها لغة أو تستخدم كلمة ... إنما هى مملكة نائية عن عالم الألفاظ والمعاني ... كل مافيها شفاف هفاف يأتي بالأعاجيب فى طرفة عين ... يكفي أن ترن فى أرجائها نبرة ، أو تبرق لمحة ، أو ينشر شذا عطر ، حتى يتصاعد من أعماقها فى لحظة من الإحساسات والصور والذكريات ، ما يهز كياننا ويفتح نفوسنا على أشياء لا قبل لنا بوصفها ، ولا بتجسيدها ، ولو لجأ إلى أدق العبارات و أبرع اللغات ... " ـ
توفيق الحكيم
Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks, the laws and rules are never obeyed, and not a language is used nor a word is ever spoken.
It is a distant Kingdom, beyond words and meanings. With everything is a sheer murmur offering wonders in a blink. From the depths of which, suffice a single tone or a flash of mind or a scent of a perfum, to allow rise of emotions, pictures and memories, a rising that will shake our being and open ourselves to things we can neither describe nor materialize even if we used the most refined of phrases or the most skillful of languages.
Tawfiq Al-Hakim.

The Book of Secrets

I opened it to read a few old lines, they made me smile once again. Pity how things start.... to end.
I wondered, is it wrong to be simple?, is it an execuse to be taken advantage of?, or it's just that life is too complicated to be handled simply?.
For a moment, I thought I wanted to to act simple once again, but really, nothing is that simple anymore.
The strangest thing is, it reminded me that I mostly show up in dreams, in white !! so far it's a white jacket, white dress, and white blouse !! check that out meshmesha :)!?

صدفـة ـ عود
اغنية عايدة الأيوبي ذكرنى بها كلام قديم قرأته حالا ... و أغنية أحمد الحجار ظهرت بجانبها!
الأثنتان من أغانى المفضلة من زمن الحياة الوردية ، ومع أن عود من الاغانى الشجية جدا لكن للمفارقة مرتبطة عندى بذكرى كوميدية من أيام الكلية.
...
و الوهم مات...
على الهامش بالبلدي : الأتنين نموذج للى مالوش حظ . أنما ... محدش عارف الخير فين :)
صدفة - عايدة الأيوبي
عـود - أحمد الحجار

The Majida
If elegance and grace still have a name in the Arts in the Arab world, It's Majida Al-Roumi !.
I love this song very much but I never knew the co-singer till today, I liked this particular video because it's her own tribute to her father, the co-singer and the composer of the song, Halim Al-Roumi.

بالمناسبة
الأغنيتان الوحيدتان اللى اعرفهم لجوليا بطرس ويكفونى (لأنهم حلوين قوى لدرجة مش عاوزة أدور على أغانى تانية لها ). من فترة كنت قررت استعمل بصراحة فى تدوينة لكن لظروف ما تأخرت و نسيت وحرارة الموضوع اللى مش فاكراه دلوقتى راحت . لكن من يومين جاء ذكر جوليا بطرس و طبعا لازم اعبر عن اعجابى بصوتها و كلماتها و لحن ليش الحب الأول اللى حبيت هدوءه و لحن بصراحة المجنون اللى اضطريت استعين بصديق بيفهم عنى فى الموسيقى يقول لى اصله ايه ؟ وهو والعهدة عليه قال ان اصله عربى اصيل :) بس هو لحن بيفكرنى بحاجة مش فاكراها !! هههه ... المهم انى بحبه يمكن اكتر من اللحن الأول ـ
ياللا ...الأغنيتين أهديهم للصديق الخبير الموسيقى ... الله اعلم هو فين حاليا! :) - ولأى حد هاتعجبه الأغنيتين
وعيد سعيد على الناس كلها
ليش الحب الأول
بصراحة
