Gobustan
The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).
The sound of these stone drums are incorporated into this extraordinary piece.

Happiness (Arabic) – Sami Yusuf
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence is a breathtaking musical odyssey through a rich
artistic and cultural heritage. The music was composed, arranged, and directed by Sami Yusuf
for the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
in Baku on June 30, 2019. The performance was directed by the renowned creative director Andrei Boltenko.
This newly created cultural treasure comprises nine themes; each theme
expresses an aspect of the ethos of Azerbaijan from the land’s earliest
inhabitants some twenty thousand years ago to its contemporary realities and aspirations.
With fifty-seven highly skilled musicians under his direction,
Sami Yusuf displays his mastery of a complex musical language while
staying true to the traditional sounds of the region. The instruments
used (except the piano) are traditional instruments from the region including the tar,
an instrument so significant that it is said to have taken a role in shaping
the cultural identity of Azerbaijanis; the kamancha, the stringed instrument related to the Byzantine
lyra and European violin family; and the balaban, a double-reed ancient wind instrument with a plaintive, solemn sound.
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence mesmerises with its dazzling musical range
from the subtle to the powerful and from the evocative to the majestic.
It is the soundscape of a region that displays an underlying universality.
These inspired compositions by this renowned musician evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners
no matter their cultural origin.

When I was so lost
So lonely

Now all I want
Is to be with you
You are my one true love
Taught me to never judge
Now all I want

You Came to Me ( Farsi Version ) – Sami Yusuf
Pearl:
As an album ‘The Centre’ takes us through a spiritual journey. ‘The Pearl’ is at the heart of this journey,
the hidden beauty that is revealed once we peel back these layers of self discovery.
Lying in darkness at the bottom of a deep ocean, protected by a hard shell,
The Pearl is waiting for anyone with the determination and patience to find it.

lyrics:
I spent a thousand sleepless nights
In wait of dreams I could not find
I walked a thousand empty roads
In search of signs to bring me home
With every breath I spoke your name
And heard it rolling in the waves
Beneath a veil of ocean blue
I broke illusion from the truth
You said, walk to me and I’ll find you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you
Music
And from the pulse beneath my skin
You called me to a source within
Where every layer revealed one more
A secret brighter than before
And at the heart there lay just one
The root of all that I’d become
I watched the surface start to break
Free of form, free of shape.
You said, walk to me and I’ll run to you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you.

Lyrics :
A humble slave I am of an almighty Lord
No work is too hard for that One who’s adored
But though I’m a beggar who cannot afford
To claim any strength, sure and strong is my Lord
He says, where He wills, when He wishes a thing,
just “Be”, and it is, by the might of a King
The ruler whose edicts and wise rulings bring
All blessings and grace by the might of a King
I haven’t got the force,
No strength between my sides
Why feel such remorse
when the Maker provides?
[Arabic:]
I’m but a humble slave, what should I worry about?
All affairs are ordained, of this there is no doubt
My Lord sees everything, while my sight leaves much out
In the womb, He formed me from a drop
O Allah, send your blessings on The Chosen One
Our beloved Muhammad, Peace be upon him
[English:]
I’m safe in the shade of his all-knowing height
And no strength have I — His all power and might.
So glory to God, his bounty shining bright,
All gratitude and praise are His due and His right.

Lyrics:
All I own, my whole life
Is worth nothing if I’m not free
I will fight tyranny
I’ll break the shackles holding me
If we can reach the stars above, even though they seem so far
We’ll change the world, we’ll overcome, revolution starts with me
Pre-chorus:
In the face of evil, the way of danger, yeah
I will be strong
Yeah the storm clouds are coming, and no we ain’t running
Yeah, we’ll fight on!
And I will say
Chorus:
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Freedom ain’t free
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
I’ll fight for you and me
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
God made me free
And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ain’t nobody gonna take that from me
If we stay silent
We’ll see injustice spreading wide
When freedom calls, I’ll be there
Stand by my side it’s our time to fly
I’ll stand my ground till my voice is found
It’s either death or liberty
O Lord above, give us strength
And grant us victory!
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
God made me free
So who’s gon’ stop me ?
I’d give my wealth, my life
‘Cause it’s my destiny
I was born a fighter
Come on let’s stand together
Make the world better
Pray for sunny weather
It’s time to let go
Of your inner ego
Stand by my side my brothers
Come on and let’s go
To a higher ground
Where peace and love is found
Storms are rolling, we’re coming
We ain’t gon’ back down!

Lyrics:
We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oases
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought and couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor coz we couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we’d paid our dues
But in fact to ourselves we were just lying
Chorus:
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame for my place
I’m walking with my head lowered for my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the West
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We were told what to buy and we bought
We went to London, Paris, and Costa del Sol
We made sure we were seen in the most exclusive cafes and shops
Yes, we felt so very satisfied
We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honour
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were so busy feeling so satisfied
Chorus
We became individuals without a soul
Despite the heat, our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness, we bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars and bling will make us satisfied
My dear brother and sister it’s time to change inside
Open your eyes, don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes when there’s no where to run or hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah is watching you: Is He satisfied?
Is Allah is satisfied?

I’m So Sorry – Lyrics:
If my time would end today would I be ready to go?
And leave all the things I’ve worked so hard for
And all my friends and everyone I’ve known?
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality
Chorus:
I’m so sorry, if only I had just one last chance
I’m so sorry, but now it’s too late to change the past, oh
I lived my life in the fast lane, I only lived for today
And never, never really thought about anyone else
It was all about me, myself and I
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality, oh
Chorus
And now, now that it’s over
I wonder if anyone will remember me
If I had the chance to turn back the hands of time
There’re so many things that I would change
I’d live my life every single breath for You

I’m So Sorry – Lyrics:
If my time would end today would I be ready to go?
And leave all the things I’ve worked so hard for
And all my friends and everyone I’ve known?
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality
Chorus:
I’m so sorry, if only I had just one last chance
I’m so sorry, but now it’s too late to change the past, oh
I lived my life in the fast lane, I only lived for today
And never, never really thought about anyone else
It was all about me, myself and I
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality, oh
Chorus
And now, now that it’s over
I wonder if anyone will remember me
If I had the chance to turn back the hands of time
There’re so many things that I would change
I’d live my life every single breath for You
Chorus
I’m so sorry, so sorry
Please forgive me

“Alhamdu lillah” Lyrics:
I’m cruising on my journey
With it all the good and bad, hmm
His blessings that I don’t see
‘Cause I want Allah to love me
I’ll thank Him for whatever I have
Alhamdu lillah (praise be to God)
No matter what comes my way
Alhamdu lillah (praise be to God)
My heart will thank and praise
And every time I’m feeling down, or out of place
Alhamdu lillah (praise be to God)
Everything is gonna be OK!
This dunya (worldly life) can deceive me
When nothing ever goes as planned, hmm
And when I can’t remember,
My heart will surely understand
I ask Allah to guide me
I’m starving for His mercy
So I’ll thank Him for whatever I have
Alhamdu lillah (praise be to God)
No matter what comes my way
Alhamdu lillah
My heart will thank and praise
And every time I’m feeling down, or out of place
Alhamdu lillah
Everything is gonna be OK!
Alhamdu lillah, alhamdu lillah
Alhamdu lillah, alhamdu lillah
Alhamdu lillah (praise be to God)
No matter what comes my way
Alhamdu lillah
My heart will thank and praise
And every time I’m feeling down, or out of place
Alhamdu lillah
Everything is gonna be OK!
Alhamdu lillah
No matter what comes my way
Alhamdu lillah
My heart will thank and praise
And every time I’m feeling down, or out of place
Alhamdu lillah
Everything is gonna be OK!
Alhamdu lillah
Everything is gonna be OK, yeah!
Alhamdu lillah
Everything is gonna be OK!

Oohh… Oohh.
Oh you, Came in to this life
Brought up as an orphan child
Through a time of deep despair, O Muhammad!
Your days at work began
As a fair and honest man
You showed just how much you cared
And one night in that cave
When the Archangel came
And your life in this world
Would never be the same
Rasool’Allah, Habib’Allah
Your light is always showing me the way
Rasool’Allah, Habib’Allah
I’m longing for the day I see your face
Oohh.
You brighten up my day
Oohh.
And in my heart you’ll stay
Ooh.
With every breath I take
Oohh…
I’ll never leave your way
Eyes that could light up any soul
You became the Chosen One
To proclaim the world of God, O Muhammad!
In the brightness of the Sun
Or the Stillness of the night
You would never ever stop
Being kind, Giving Hope
And serenity and love
To a divided world
That didn’t have enough
Rasool’Allah, Habib’Allah
Your light is always showing me the way
Rasool’Allah, Habib’Allah
I’m longing for the day I see your face
Oohh.
You brighten up my day.
Oohh.
And in my heart you’ll stay
Ooh.
With every breath I take
Oohh…

لاجئ ( توزيع موسيقى فقط ) – عمران البقاعي
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.
