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.

Devils Reap by Barrel Dawg

Devils Reap by Barrel DawgA Dark Country/Blues song about the Grim Reaper collecting a person's soul because they once signed a deal with the Devil. According to traditional folklore the pact is between a person and the devil. The person offers their soul in exchange for a specific wish, fame, power, fortune etc. It has a bit of of an old wild west vibe, it's a bit of dark folk & dark country.
