LYRICS
Nightshade blooming in my garden
Love I found on my way
Taking root when all was darkened
Scarred in me always
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land
In my mornings, waves have taken
What I thought was there
I left you in time forsaken
(With) flowers in your hair
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land

You:
You is a devotional song based on the 99 names of God. It links directly to the qualities of God,
but far from being exclusive there is also a parental association with ‘You’,
serving as an homage to those who have nurtured and protected us throughout our lives.
I am what I am
Because You made
I have what I have
Because You gave
My love is strong
Because You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
I see what I see
Because You shine
I know what I know
Because You Tell
My love is strong
Because You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
Abiding in silence
With patience and guidance
Aware when I need You, the light when I seek You
Justice, forgiveness
The strength in my weakness
And my love, and my love, is strong because
You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
Lover, Taker
Guider, Saviour
Endless, Greatest
Timeless, Patient
Bringer of the life You gave us
Patron of the world You made us
You are Grateful, my Receiver
You are Watchful, the Perceiver
You are Mercy, my Forgiver
You restore me, my Healer
Because You are, because You.

Crazy’s Lyrics :
Staring at full moons
Lost in the mazes
Following footprints
Leaving no traces
Talking to myself
Words with no meaning
Walking through real life
Thinking I’m dreaming
Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
You made me you made me
Lose my mind
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
Ever since you let me
Drink from your wine
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
(So) fill up my cup one more time
Fill up my cup one more time
Stared in the sunlight
Only the one time
A moment of madness
Lasting a lifetime
Now I’m hearing noises
Taking me places
People and voices
All of them nameless
Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders

This powerful new composition begins with the haunting and resonant vocalizations of Sami Yusuf,
then adds instrumental, rhythmic, and vocal layers to create an epic unison section
that evokes the many-faceted aspects of the arc of Azerbaijan’s history. This piece features
stunning vocal solos by Sevda Alekperzadeh, Tayyar Bayramov, Samira Aliyeva, and a beautiful tar solo
by Sahib Pashazade that leads into the majestic outro.
Written in Bayāt-e Shīrāz mugham, its sweeping melody is inspired by the story of this region
from its earliest times to its hopes for the future.

Ateshgah – Sami Yusuf
‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.

The.Dawn ( Live in New Delhi ) – Sami Yusuf
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.

كلمات العمل :
ها قد مضى في سلام
يومٌ كباقي الأيام
به بعض حلوٍ ومُرّ
به بعض خيرٍ وشر
خذ الذكرى، خذ العبرة
ولا تدع الهمّ يمر
لغدٍ جديــد .. حانَ المنـــام
نوماً سعيد.. نم في سلام
نم في سلام
ردّد بحلوِ الكلام
قولاً كمسكِ الختام
فالغدُ يبدأ منذ اليوم
تحديداً ما قبل النوم
فَقُل خيراً.. تَجِد خيرا
وَمَنّ النفسِ بما يَسُرّ
لغدٍ جديــد .. حانَ المنـــام
نوماً سعيد.. نم في سلام

كلمات العمل :
ها قد مضى في سلام
يومٌ كباقي الأيام
به بعض حلوٍ ومُرّ
به بعض خيرٍ وشر
خذ الذكرى، خذ العبرة
ولا تدع الهمّ يمر
لغدٍ جديــد .. حانَ المنـــام
نوماً سعيد.. نم في سلام
نم في سلام
ردّد بحلوِ الكلام
قولاً كمسكِ الختام
فالغدُ يبدأ منذ اليوم
تحديداً ما قبل النوم
فَقُل خيراً.. تَجِد خيرا
وَمَنّ النفسِ بما يَسُرّ
لغدٍ جديــد .. حانَ المنـــام
نوماً سعيد.. نم في سلام
نم في سلام
