Music For Iran

Sorry all, for the late update. I've been busy and I've been facing some major sleep problems as of late. I know I was supposed to have this up by the following day, but it's been an unbearable few days. Now, before I move on to the main topic of my post, as some of you know it's the Holy Month of Ramadan - where Muslims everywhere observe by fasting from dawn 'till dusk. The month is spent refraining from 'carnal habits' such a sex, smoking, etc. A way of purifying the body and demonstrating to the devil he has no power over them. They ask Allah for forgiveness for wrongs they have committed since the previous Ramadan. It's a very interesting observation, practicing self-discipline and self-control. I hope this year's Ramadan will go well for all of you in Iran, I know it's a very tough time and protesting will take a lot out of you. So take care of yourselves, please be safe!

If I made any errors on Ramadan, please by all means, you are very welcome to correct me. I'm still learning about Islam, and I'm trying to get a better understanding of it and educate the ignorant.

Now! For today's update: we all know that music is the universal language. Even if the lyrics are in a different language we can still understand the mood and the message. Music sways our moods, brightens our spirits, brings the hearts of people together. We communicate through music better than we would with the spoken word and the message goes even further. Thus I've been surfing through YouTube some more, and have seen videos of people making videos who have written songs and dedicated their performances to Iran. Not all of these are original songs by them, but their dedicating their performance to Iran is there. I felt very touched that people would do something so nice and so wonderful. So I went around collecting these incredible videos share with you all, and help send out the message these great musicians are putting out in support of the protesters. Hope you enjoy. :)






Truly, wonderful. This one is my personal favorite of this collection.













Hope you've enjoyed this collection, and hope you've gotten their message of support and hope. There were many songs dedicated to Neda, and I wish I'd started this blog sooner to dedicate a collection of all the songs written for her on the 40th day memorial. I know there's more music for Iran around, and if I find more I'll be happy to share. Have a goodnight (or morning). :)
