Ineffable Experiences.

[Bastemhet]

Age spreads through leaves and consumes green,
as branches, upward, supplicate.
The chilly air kisses goodbye
the sun, for now it grows too late.

Feraghi. I prefer the acoustic, but it still pulls my strings. I wish my Farsi was up to snuff, because I can only pick out words but not meanings. :/ Forgot how much I liked Niyáz.

And: Rejoice, for he knows the truth, he knows that bliss begets bliss.

That second link is awesome. I love this type of music. Thank you.

Very much welcome. smile

I like Niyaz a lot too. Found them using stumble. icon_smile.gif

I initially found Azam Ali because I was trying to find the vocalist who did "Inama Nushif" from the Dune soundtrack. smile The Niyaz myspace is also attached to Azam Ali's solo work, and her work with Vas. As part of Vas, she did an excellent rendition of the Izgrejala, a Bulgarian folk song. biggrin

What do you do when no matter what battle you win or lose it can't change the fact that you've already lost the war?

The sharks are searching. It is only (and always is just) a matter of time.

Cu, that video was amazing. Lifted me right up.

Make a valiant last stand with those men (and women!) who chose to stand by you, in the defense of what you know is right, and just, the consequences be damned.

Or, sue for peace, salvage what you can, and try to make the best of it. If there can be no surrender, gather up a rag-tag band of survivors, spool up the FTLs, and Battlestar it across the galaxy.

Did I mention that surrender just means dying more painfully than normally?

Battlestar it. cry Definitely.

Here is another song, again, I wish they posted an acoustic.

Niyaz, the Hunt.

Here are lyrics, in Persian and English. Sorry it's transliterated Fiddler. wink

Fruit trees... and a hearth... a hearth in need of repair, but when I'm done, it will be our hearth.

It gets better. Even our own betray us, for a multitude of reasons.

It swells the heart to love.

Sir!

I DEMAND that you pull that knife out of my back and insert it into my chest like an honourable fellow!

There are only five options in war.
Attack if you can.
If you cannot Attack, Defend.
If you cannot Defend, Flee.
If you cannot Flee, Surrender.
If you cannot Surrender, Die.

We all die. It is the fate, or mayhaps destiny, of all life. The power we sometimes have, is to decide the circumstances of that transformation.

Also, remember, another may take your life, but only you may give up your pride.
