All the precious moments, cannot stay...
It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay...
But I feel something's missing, cannot say...
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths just falling down, down, down, down...
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...
All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round, round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roaring
And the sky keeps turning gray
And the sun is set
The sun will rise another day...
We all walk the long road. Cannot stay...
There's no need to say goodbye...
All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round, round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
How I've wished for so long
How I wish for you today
We all walk the long road (3x)
Nusrat Fateh ali Khan (asaalam alaikum) was the foremost practioner/interpreter of qawwali the religious music of the Sufi muslims. The man was mystical, ethereal...his nephew Rahim Fateh ali Khan has taken the torch from his departed uncle (alaikum asaalam)
Thank You for the info.
Persian influence, but also Indian and Arabic influences. Qawwali is an ancient form of Sufi Islamic devotional singing that originated in the Punjab area of what is now India and Pakistan. Good stuff!
Thank You for the info.
I had the good fortune to meet Nusrat at the University of Washington where he was doing an artist's residency. My friend's mom was the director of "ethnomusicology" at UW and hosted him at her home. He and the Party performed several shows that were quite amazing. If you ever get a chance to see live Qawwall-- GO! Bring food to pass around. It's a total party-- everybody dancing in the aisles and the room is filled to overflowing with love and joy. All the cool little grandma's had to come up and tell me how tall I was and give me something to eat! It's a trip, and the music is hypnotic and compelling.
Cool story. Thank You for sharing it.
Eddie Vedder sounds to me like Dave Matthews in places on this track. Weird. Never thought them similar before.
Ugh.... Eddie is SO FAR above Matthews! No comparison imho
Best song ever
Perfect
I don't know about "best", but it is "VERY EXCELLENT"! Thanx RP!

I love learned people.
(And Nusrat unfortunately has to match.)
This is one of the few tracks w/ Eddie vocals that I like--and I love it. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a marvel.
Pun intended?
