182 votes
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.

Prelude/Thriving
This is the introduction and 1st track off of my album 'The Longer Now' which was released in June 2024. It began as a reworking of one of my old pieces called 'Longmarsh'. I had been asked by the incredible tabla maestro, Pandit Sanju Sahai to perform with him and an ensemble of other wonderful musicians at the opening concert of the Thrive Festival 2023 in the Great Hall at Dartington, an absolute honour, and an experience that I will never ever forget. Sanju Ji asked me to bring one of my pieces, which is how 'Thriving' came about. It became the opening piece for the concert that we played together.This is my solo reworking of this piece.
