Muitos sabem muito. Ninguém sabe tudo. César sabe quase tudo.

A medida do amor é amar sem medida.

"Sovereign" is an instrumental recitation of Shahnameh (The Epic of Kings) i.e. an extensive Persian epic poem written by Ferdowsi as a collection of Persian mythologies. Here you will find western rock instrumentation with eastern flavor. Some songs, I think, are apt to be adapted for traditional Iranian dance; especially “Sovereign” and “Harem” tracks. Actually, I am looking forward to the choreographic performance adaptations for this work whenever possible. Imagine Iranian "Coffee-house paintings" and belly dance with distorted guitars performing cheerful rhythms... Unusual combination? No, to me that sounds all natural!

O Senhor me abençoe e me guarde.

"Encontre o caminho"

"Siga meu destino"

"Siga minha sorte"

"When There is More Beauty in the Contrary", Negar and Salim's single released on 1/1/11, is an oud and electric guitar instrumental. It is a portrayal of ancient east versus modern west.

"Combining traditionally dissimilar forces into one cohesive composition", this song reflects its composers' backgrounds in Persian contemporary and progressive rock genres.

È il mio desiderio scrivervi per parlarvi di noi, per conoscere altre persone e per condividere i nostri punti di vista e il nostro stile.

"Abrahadabra" is a reflection of my exaggerated personal feelings. It is the first endeavor to my idea of “pictorial rock” - i.e. composition of sounds that recite a sequence of mental pictures. Actually all of these instrumental tracks have a real-life story behind them. There are very vague allusions to these stories in the CD booklet. e.g. “Route” is the story of a death ceremony and recites the mourning over the dead in a way that is done in eastern culture. Or “Told to the Bird” is the story of my own confession to a bunch of flying birds in a ritualistic way... In one sentence, while composing this album, I felt very lovesick, idealist and outraged.

¿Cuándo estarán corregidos los exámenes? Hace ya 12 días que fue el examen y solo éramos 4 alumnos. Soy estudiante extranjero y debo volver a mi país el día 13, ya escribí varias veces por email para preguntar esto (con distintas cuentas de correo por si el email no llegaba) y no me fueron respondidos

I dream... and dream... and dream...
I live in my world of fantasy.
Walking in this world, I compose as I hear, and rest as I quiet.
Pictorial rock is a term I use for my music that is usually based on series of mental images, a nightmare or maybe dreams of a sound sleep... As a listener, you have to wait for the pictures to materialize in your mind!

-Lad os synge på skibet.

It is like the bikini; what it reveals is interesting, but it is what it does not reveal that is intriguing.

Du har ikke en chance. Grib den!

The way is shut! It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it. The way is shut. Now you must die.

Mãe, tu és parte de mim,
Mãe, tu és eterna no meu coração,
Mãe, tu és a minha força.

Tu, sempre tu e solo tu nella mia mente... il più dolce dei pensieri... tu uomo che mi hai colpita dritta al cuore, tu che ora possiedi la mia anima... qualunque sia la strada che mi aspetta, è con te che voglio percorrerla, per tutta la vita.

Tudo é uma questão de manter a mente quieta, a espinha ereta e o coração tranqüilo.

ζήσε την κάθε μέρα σαν να είναι η τελευταία σου

You may hold my hand for a while
But you hold my heart forever
