well it sounds like a version of the stuff they play out of their loud speakers on top of minarets at dawn in muslim cities.
i have no idea what the words mean.
so anyway, i understand it was not a joke.

You are the one who must be joking.

You sound to have something against everything Arabic and you see islam in every Arabic song, the rhythm has nothing to do with the mosque's praying calls you are referring to, this song in particular has more of western rhythm than Arabic or Islamic rhythm.

It's a new cover, that's the original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GofswozSaK4

you are not very eloquent tonight it seems.

here is what i have corrected your comment to mean....

"You sound (as if you) have something again(st) everything Arabic(,) and you see islam in every Arabic song." the rest of what you said is legible.

so i know arabs are smart and stuff, but i never liked their music. nothing against you.

maybe i will try to learn it. they sing in a similar way to indians and asians.
never heard any song of that genre that captured me.

except for frank zappa of course, and he didn't even have a drop of arab blood in his veins.
this is a touching song. it is a ballad of a muslim who can bridge the religion gap and want's to have a jewish girlfriend.

yeah...

here is a serious song that peter allen wrote and olivia newton john sang.
i don't like either of them, but this was a work of genius by peter allen.

it is about some girl who falls in love with someone far too old to be their partner.

i do not know about all that.
i guess if i knew the language it may make more sense to me.
i do not mean to denigrate the song you posted. i just was not sure whether it was a joke or not.

do arabs play in the western style chromatic scale? arabic songs are bloody hard to play on the keyboard because there seems to be no note who's frequency equals those in an arabic type of song.

i that "there is no accounting for taste". that is so true when you think about it.

That's because arabic music instruments are not typically keyboards, they're more of the cord-type and drum-type, look at these instruments here, this is a traditional Aleppo music:

Quote:
Translation: "oh you, who's leaning against the tree branches, my beloved, and tanned, you've stolen my heart
passion has burned my heart, oh it has done more than that
they named you and haven't done just to you, my love
they named you the softest name
you're genuine between the trees (special)
you are put above heads (respected)
the sand can't be kneaded (sand=skin or body/she's original)
and the thorns can't be kissed (means she's conservative)
and the secret is only kept by the righteous people

oh you, who's leaning against the tree branches, my beloved, and tanned, you've stolen my heart
passion has burned my heart, oh it has done more than that
hey girl, come back, and keep your promises
love and loyalty turned to sorrow, don't break your promises
your presence around me is my salvation, and my death is in your silence/absence
the sips from the glass of good old days bring me back to life

oh you, who's leaning against the tree branches, my beloved, and tanned, you've stolen my heart
passion has burned my heart, oh it has done more than that
even among the palm trees you would meet me
at night and morning you would give me your love
you're eyes are beautiful, my love
and you are all i can see
layla, Buthayna, and jamil can hear our songs (famous ancient arab lovers)"


The guy on your right is playing on Qanun, this instrument is very similar to piano but played directly on the cord, not via key-hammers like in the piano. It would be very hard to use piano for traditional arabic music like the above.

Quanun, oud and violin are the most common instruments there.

But it's not impossible for more westernized arabic music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ualwuV_bwAs



Quote:

If you are of the words-listening type of music listener rather than rhythm-listener then yeah, you won't grasp it.

Honestly, i think it's too culturally alien for you to grasp.


Anyway, what do you think of this song it is the latest hit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejvpVhvKesM

well none of it rhymes. i suppose that's not a requirement for arabic lyrics.

(that's a joke by the way)

i very much wanted to mentally incorporate an arab song and work out how to play it. on piano (and a bass)
so i listened to a song called mohammad something or other, and i played it. (will post it at the end of my reply)

i am not interested in lyrics at all. it is all structure that i take notice of. it is too culturally different than what i know.

this may give you the s**ts mr boo, but

My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows.
You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows,
And someday for my sake, she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose.
