You came to me
In that hour of need
When I was so lost
So lonely
You came to me

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

You Came to Me ( Farsi Version ) – Sami Yusuf


Call My Name’s Lyrics :
Remember the time
when you and I were all alone
When we were so shy
now it feels so long ago
Whispered my name
soft as the falling snow
Close in my arms
promised I’d never let go
There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Remember the time
when everything moved so slow
As if that one night
was all that we’d ever know
I’m still there waiting
hoping your voice will show
(Cos) wherever you are
that is where I call home
There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
I’m right here
Beside you
I know you can’t see
Beloved
I’m waiting
For you to remember me

راج ناداه ( توزيع موسيقي ) – هيثم الحلبي


About the Performance
Sami Yusuf’s instrumental composition ‘The Meeting’ is an intimate
and deeply personal work. Direct and non-linear, the melodies,
rhythms and vocalisations sustain and support
one another flawlessly as the music moves fluidly between the Western
aeolian mode and the Persian dastgah shur. Solos by Sami Yusuf on tar,
Guo Gan on erhu, and Asad Khan on sitar circle each other
to create an embracing ambience where each melodic line is a subtle gem,
strong and fragile in equal measure.

حلم التخرج ( توزيع موسيقي فقط ) – ندى الهويدي


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.

Awake ( Instrumental ) [ Bonus – Track ] – Barakah (Deluxe) – 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.
