When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival)
أناشيد الألبوم
DESCRIPTION:
Experience the beauty and unity of diverse musical traditions with Sami Yusuf’s
latest release, ‘One.’ Recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022,
this piece showcases exceptional artistry from Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s own ensemble.
Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf,
‘One’ is a stunning blend of Western European vocal performance and the dynamic
rhythms of Andalusian, North African and Middle Eastern instruments including the ney,
violin, qanun, santur and percussions.
The German words by Meister Eckhart and Arabic poetry by Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari
speak of the Eternal I and the unity of vision, emphasising the separate beauty of
each path and their underlying unity.
Performed in E Flat with allusions to maqām Nahāwand,
‘One’ opens with Cappella Amsterdam’s hauntingly beautiful vocals,
transitioning to the richly textured and dynamic rhythms of Amsterdam
Andalusian Orchestra, culminating in a mesmerising santur and percussion performance
by Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.
‘One’ invites you to experience the oneness of the human spirit in art.

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.

I Only Knew Love (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.
This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry
as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music
to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales.
Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated
as in an intricate conversation with one another.
Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision
and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words.
Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics),
Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics),
Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics).
Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra,
and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.

The Fire Within (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.
Written by the Moroccan poet
Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century

DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Karitas (Live at the Holland Festival) – 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.

Circle:
The Circle is a symbol of many things to different people: purity, unity,
equality to name a few. There are no corners, no angles, just a pure arc that continues infinitely.
Inspired by the Sufi whirling dervishes, The Circle is another symbol in this album
that represents oneness with our physical presence on this earth and our spiritual presence beyond.

lyrics:
I see you in the wings that chase the night
Circling the warmth of candlelight
I hear you in the wind as the two poles spin
Whispering the truth your heart holds in
I feel you in the chill as the seasons turn
Laying down a seed, with its lessons learned.
The circle spins a perfect line
Free from borders, free from time
I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine
I feel you in the sand of the desert earth
You know my hunger, know my thirst
I hear you in the cry of distant rain
Coming back to answer the call again
I meet you in the centre of the sacred dance
Reminding me your truth is in my heart
The circle spins a perfect line
Free from borders, free from time
I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine

I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine

When the seasons change
In the monsoon rains
When a newborn cries
In a mother’s eyes
I think of You
ربنا الرحمن
مبدع الأكوان
صاحب الجلال
من له الكمال
لا رب سواه
لا رب سواه
(Our Lord the most Merciful
Creator of the universe
Possessor of glory
To whom perfection belongs
No lord but Him
No lord but Him)
Miracles
Are everyday
The moon will come
As the sun will fade
Forever this way
When the seasons change
In the monsoon rains
When a newborn cries
In a mother’s eyes
I think of You
I think of You
سبحان الله ، سبحان الله
سبحان الله ، سبحان الله
(Glory be to Allah
Glory be to Allah)
A seed that grows
From a tiny shell
Becomes a tree
Feeding you and me
Here for our needs
هذه الأطيار
تلكم الأزهار
ونجوم الليل
من صنع الله
لا رب سواه
(These birds
Those flowers
And the night’s stars
Are all Allah’s creation
No lord but Him)

I Believe (LYRICS)
When you’re searching for the light
And you see no hope in sight
Be sure and have no doubt
He’s always close to you
He’s the one who knows you best
He knows what’s in your heart
You’ll find your peace at last
If you just have faith in Him
You’re always in my heart and mind
Your name is mentioned every day
I’ll follow you no matter what
My biggest wish is to see you one day
Chorus:
I believe
I believe
Do you believe, oh do you believe?
Coz I believe
In a man who used to be
So full of love and harmony
He fought for peace and liberty
And never would he hurt anything
He was a mercy for mankind
A teacher till the end of time
No creature could be compared to him
So full of light and blessings
You’re always in my heart and mind
Your name is mentioned every day
I’ll follow you no matter what
If God wills we’ll meet one day
Chorus
If you lose your way
Believe in a better day
Trials will come
But surely they will fade away
If you just believe
What is plain to see
Just open your heart
And let His love flow through
I believe I believe, I believe I believe
And now I feel my heart is at peace
Chorus
I believe I believe, I believe I believe

Mixed & Mastered by Vishnu Rajan @ Andante Studios

lyrics:
Diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum
[Translation: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’]
Love to give!
To give is love,
And love the gift,
The gift of love.
No belief!
Without the love,
Believe in love!
The belief of love.
None of you truly believes until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself.
[A saying of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)]
Love to give!
The gift of love,
Give the other,
All your love.
What a relief!
To give my love,
I am now you,
And you are my love!

I wonder why you and me fight each other
Don’t you see the similarities between us?
Take a minute and see yourself in the mirror
You look like me, those eyes, lips, you can’t deny
Have you thought about why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family
It doesn’t matter if you live far away from me
You feel I feel, you bleed I bleed, you cry and I cry
We sleep and dream
Sometimes we’re sad sometimes we’re happy
You breathe I breathe
We love, walk, talk and we smile
Have you thought about why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family, family
I care about you and i wish you could realize
There’s no difference between us two
we’re part of one family
No matter how far you are are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one

Muhammad oh Muhammad

The final prophet and the messenger
Sent from Allah
This is the story so far
Deep in the valley in the town of Mecca
A child was born
Change your life forever
The sky lit up with beautiful weather
It’s where it all began
He grew up fast walking with olders
And when he spoke the people would gather
He had respect from everyone
The most trustworthy was
Oh Muhammad oh Muhammad
Solla Alaik Allah
The final prophet and the messenger
Sent from Allah
This is the story so far

Then the prophet went to the mountains of Mecca
To think about life and make his mind a bit clearer
In the middle of the night there was a shining light
The revelation then began
He was asked to read but he couldn’t do so
When he tried he spoke words so beautiful
When he was told he was the chosen one
Salawatullahi Alayk

Lyrics:
O People!
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day
O People!
Somewhere dark and out of the way
AIDS has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Durban,
For our sisters in Darfur,
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there,
Nice and cowzy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (2x)?
You might ask yourself:
“Why should I help these people?”
They’ll tell you why:
“We’re not so different from you.
We have dreams just like you,
But they were buried with the
Bodies of our loved ones.”
O People!
Are we dead, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?
O People!
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach but we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia,
For our sisters in Rwanda,
Show me what we’re going to do,
Are we just going to sit there
Nice and cozy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (4x)?

Gathered here with my family
…My neighbours and my friends
Standing firm together against oppression holding hands
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or if you’re young, old, women or man
We’re here for the same reason; we want to take back our land
Oh God thank you..
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we’re here together
Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We know you’re here with us
No more being prisoners in our homes
No more being afraid to talk
Our dream is just to be free, just to be free
Now when we’ve taking our first step
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we’re almost there
Oh God thank you..
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we’re here together
Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
I can feel the pride in the air
And it makes me strong to see everyone
Standing together holding hands in unity
Shouting out loud demanding their right for freedom
…This is it and we’re not backing of

Wanderer’s Lyrics :
In my mind
Foreign lands
Followed lines
On my hands
Tasted earth
Touched the skies
Swam the pools
Of my eyes
People talked
In their fear
Rumours always
Whispered here
Where and why,
From what shore
Who was I
Searching for
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
Pushed and pulled
Through these worlds
Winding roads
I crossed & curled
Pain & love
Hope & fear
In between
All unclear
Drunk on time,
Spin my thoughts
States of mind
Turning doors
Ask me now
Who I am
Turn your back
Take my hand
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
There’s a fire calling me
Burning me
Leading me
Into ecstasy
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
[Round round round round round round round round]

O Allah it’s you I adore
Without your mercy I’m no more
And in you I place my trust
Without your guidance I am lost
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah
Allah!

Lyrics:
They filled my path full of doubt
And wouldn’t hear me out
But still I chased my dreams
They told me to quit
But my heart could not resist
And from the darkness came a light
I will shine on tomorrow
Light the way for all to follow
From the darkness I will shine
Learning from the past I tried
To stare the world in the eyes
Find strength to pull me through
I saw through my tests and trials
A road that ran a thousand miles
At the end was only truth
I will shine on tomorrow
Light the way for all to follow
In the darkness I will shine
I will shine on forever
Take my chance now or never
In the darkness I will shine
I know I can if I believe
And I will choose my destiny
We’ll make the change we want to see
I know we can if we believe
And we will choose our destiny
I know I can if I believe

“All About Me” Lyrics:
Have I lost my mind, wasting time
Begging for the whole world to subscribe
Did I lose control of my ego
You know a selfie’s never good the first hundred times!
‘Cause I’m living my life all through a screen
Filtered friends, yeah I’m loving the dream
No I don’t want to wake to a world that is so real
I’m feeding my Me, keep me in this twirl!
Looking for likes in a lonely world
Trying to numb my pain just to know that I can feel
‘Cause you know what they say:
Hey! We’ve got the answer!
It’s all about me, and for my pleasure!
And you know what they say:
Hey! It just feels better!
It’s all about me, and that’s what matters!
Oh, hey! It’s all about me!
Oh, hey! It’s all about me!
Is it worth a post, if I can’t boast
About the views and comments that fill my eyes
Stuck in our own bubble. And even if it goes viral
Why can’t we speak heart to heart with an open mind
Because I’m living my life all through a screen
Filtered friends, yeah I’m loving the dream
No I don’t want to wake to a world that is so real
I’m feeding my Me, keep me in this twirl!
Looking for likes in a lonely world
Trying to numb my pain just to know that I can feel
‘Cause you know what they say:
Hey! We’ve got the answer!
It’s all about me, and for my pleasure!
And you know what they say:
Hey! It just feels better!
It’s all about me, and that’s what matters!
Oh, Hey! It’s all about me!
Oh, Hey! It’s all about me!
OMG! What’s happening to me
FOMO has kept me ironically
From being all that I could ever really be!
Am I living asleep because I love my screen
Hashtag friends, am I losing a dream
Shake me, wake me up to a world that I can feel!
It’s a feeding frenzy and a dizzy twirl
Lonely for likes in a busy world
We feel so connected but our brokenness is all so real
‘Cause you know what I say:
Hey! Nothing lasts forever!
Is it all about me, and for my pleasure?
Can’t you hear what I say
Hey! Trying to find the answers!
Going to shut my screen and like what really matters!
‘Cause you know what I say:
Hey! Nothing lasts forever!
Is it all about me, and for my pleasure
Can’t you hear what I say
Hey! Trying to find the answers!
Gonna shut my screen and like what really matters!
Yeah, gonna shut my screen, and share what really matters

So Soon – Lyrics:
Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
I still can hear your voice calling out my name
And I remember all the stories you told me
I miss the time you were around
I miss the time you were around
But I’m so grateful for every moment I spent with you
‘Cause I know life won’t last forever
Chorus:
You went so soon, so soon,
You left so soon, so soon,
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long,
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong,
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard,
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone,
Gone so soon
Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy
But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever
Chorus
There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking why
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return, oh
Chorus

Lyrics:
TO SEE YOU SMILE
GIVE IT ALL AWAY
SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE
SO PURE AND WIDE
JUST LIKE THE MOON IN THE SKY
SHINING SO BRIGHT
YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH
YOU GIVE ME LIFE
GIVE EVERYTHING DO ANYTHING
WHATEVER IT’LL TAKE, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
AND MY LIFE HAS MEANING ‘CAUSE OF YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
EVERY SONG I SING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE
SO PURE AND WIDE
AS YOU WELCOME ME BACK INTO YOUR ARMS
TELL ME I’VE WRONGED BUT IT’S ALRIGHT, IT’S ALRIGHT
THE ONLY THING I NEED IN LIFE IS YOU
SO LOST AND FRUSTRATED FAR FROM YOU
YOUR LOVE IS WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE
GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY, ANYTHING FOR YOUR SMILE
WHEN I’M AWAY
FAR FROM YOUR SIDE
I WATCH THE CLOUDS
COME AND GO IN THE COLD NIGHT SKY
THEY START TO PLAY
THEY COME TO LIFE
AND FROM THE DARK THE MOON APPEARS
JUST LIKE YOUR SMILE SHE SHINES HER LIGHT
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
AND MY LIFE HAS MEANING ‘CAUSE OF YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
EVERY SONG I SING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY, TO SEE YOUR SMILE

“One Day” Lyrics:
Lying here wide awake on my own now
Silence is the loudest cry
I’m safe but I’ve lost everything I’ve known
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day
CHORUS
One day, one day
One day, one day
