Laleh was one of the performers at the memorial service for those killed in Breivik attacks, Norway. Her delivery creeps up on you and touches your heart ever so gently. I don't salute the program directors for having selected an Iranian-Swidish singer. I am honoring them because they wisely chose an act that in her ever so gentle and subtle style of delivery, managed to help heal the wounds of the audience and throw a blanket of peace and comfort upon them. I invite you to experience it for yourself. Laleh: "Some Die Young" I will tell your story if you die I will tell your story and keep your love the best I can I will tell them to the children if we have some, if we have some But I've always felt a feeling we would die young Some die young Some die young Some, some die young But you better hold on so many things i need to say to you Please don't, don't let me go and we said we would die together Some die young but you better hold on so many things i need to say to you Please don't, don't let me go and we said we would die together Some die young I will tell your story if you try but along with your thoughts a valley stay green when the world you were born in changes with seasons Will you run with this dream, will you run along or will you run against and finally reveal why some die young Why some die young Why some die Some die young but you better hold on you better hold on So many things i need to say to you Please don't, don't let me go and we said we would die together Some die young but you better hold on So many things i need to say to you Please don't, don't let me go and we said we would die together you said we would die together Some die young but you better hold on but you better hold on So many things i need to say to you Please don't, don't let me go and we said we would die together Some die young
Laleh, is to put it correctly Swedish, or Iranian-Swedish Artist. To label her Iranian, would be wrong. Like labeling late Iren as Georgian or Armenian because her parents were Armenians from Georgia.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I should have written Iranian-Swedish.
DeleteThank you for pointing that out to me.
