In his song, Mohamad is singing about how strange life is, how harsh the nights are: ‘Oh this life is so strange... our home became very far. Very far.’ But before he can finish, he is overcome by homesickness and with his head in his hands, he cries. He is crying for his beloved country and for the father he left behind.Abu and Mohamad are residents of Zaatari, a refugee camp located just a few kilometres east of Mafraq, Jordan, near the Syrian border. Originally established as a temporary settlement in July 2012 for Syrians fleeing the civil war, Zaatari is now home to an estimated 79,000 refugees and stretches over five square kilometres.The Jeeni Refugee Aid channel supports refugee aid and charities across the world.

Who Knew - Daisy Chute -Window Sessions IV
It’s the first original song in the series and is called “Who Knew”. It's a solo banjo and voice and was recorded direct to tape at the brilliant brand new analogue Studio Silo in East Iceland.Here are the lyrics: You were only looking at me looking back at you Now you’re lonely, wondering ‘bout me wondering ‘bout you too And you don’t see, how you hurt me, what you didn’t do So I won’t be, who you come see when the day is through, Who knew? And I pray you’ll find someone to worship you And I hope that you’ll love her the way that she’ll love you I do
