Hayedeh / Faryad

There is nothing to say anymore... But..

They are not numbers, they are lifes, they are stroies,.!

Today a bomb exploded in my city, İstanbul. Before Ankara .. Believe me I dont know what to say. I'm just so much sad because of all this thing. I'm not a kind of political person. I even dont like talk about politics. Not my style. But I'm in full of sick. I mean, I am afraid that one day me or one of person who I know gonna die because of nothing! And I know nowadays lots of person feel exactly like that in this area. But unfortunately there is nothing so much to do. Maybe we share someting on social media to sharing our sadness ( and also this is not kind of my style) and of course praying for died people and rest of us.

'Turkey is a one of middle east country, So not big deal'

I heard somethings like that quite recently. Yeah , I know this geography is never be one of peace land on earth but again this things what recently happend is big deal, at least for me. I dont wanna get used to this attacks. I dont know Turkey is one of a European country of A Middle east country. And already this words just  rubish . Both of side is deadly . İn a political way, if you say I'm at Middle side, you will lost your life, or you say I'm at European side most likely you will lost your Humanity...So I think both of side is deadly as much as each other.

Summary I'm so much sad. For Turkey, For Middle East Country For European Country... All of us as a civil public.. we are lose... one of us lose life's one of us lose meaning of life, humanity. I just dont want to heard any single innoncent person is died news , no matter which part from the world

So I think 'Faryad (Cry)' is relevant for today ?

Souad Massi / Raoui

  Oh, Storyteller, Tell Us A Story

Today , I would prepared to tell another song but I change my decide this morning. This day I'm gonna talk about Souad Massi's fabulous song ; Raoui. But first thing first, I want to share with you why I changed my mind.

Two days that we have left behind is very odd. ( Maybe, odd is not the fit for this situation but I could not find a word to better description). One day you wake up and people who around you, television, social media, I mean, all media channel talk about War III possibility. Look like that two war is not enough for human being in history. Already lots of people from whole over the world died or still dying. But I said this is not enough, we need more and more. Also ,weirdest part of this situation is that all this person killed/ or died for better world, peace, or democracy..İt seems that democracy should be machine what work with innocence human blood. Because I cannot see any logical reason for world right now situation.

Anyway I'm not a politican or someone like that. I hope everything will be okey for my country and for all world. I'm passing my today song; Raoui.  Raoui is the one of incredible song of Massi. She has a lots of amazing song and I love all of them. İn the next days I will talk about them. Belive or not, I met with Massi's songs because of a war.

Because of a war ?

Let me tell you the story. it is not complicated. I heard one of souad massi song in a cafe at kadıköy. untill this moment is everything usual . I learned this cafe one of my friend's Tunisian friend. This cafe name is Arthere İstanbul. the cafe run by Syrian artist. Cafe's Owner is Omer. He is a Syrian Photographer. The cafe is also art a gallery and you can meet with lots of painter at Arthere. All lovely person who create Arthere came from Syria and this is and of story .Anyway if you learn more About Arthere I'll give a link in below.




The Dictator 

Finally, I want to talk about a movie ; The Dictator. Clearly the movie is not one of my favorite. But in some way, it is worthwhile to watch and The Raoui is playing one part of the movie. Most probably best part . But my favorite part is that "main characters describing dictatorship". Somehow this description is very familiar. And this is that description of dictatorship;

"You could let one percent of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes and bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests"
