"their big dream.": a song related to Nakba!!

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 Today I’m going to share a poem/song, no song recommendations, sorry. Probably Li Beirut, but for this time, the focus is on my poem/song.

their big dream.🫒

they grew olive

by the dear river

looked for knowledge

it hurts, my liver

no food, it's sadness

sorrowful story

lies no forgetness

under their lost glory

their big dream, still remains

to let live and to just live

they won't ever budge to leave

Nakba still gives pains

i won't budge with your reasons

under these ruined seasons

my home burns metaphorically

while Gaza suffers literally

"no pains no gains"

what a lie

their food's off, and soon's july

"you lie, you lie"

don't say that!

as you chill inside your flat

or house, with no fear to die

their big dream, still remains

to let live and to just live

we won't ever budge to leave

Nakba still gives pains

through the starving days,

Nakba still gives pains,

to their lives, their wives, their everydays!

through inhumane silence,

we see the violence,

we believe that they shall live.

oh ah, oh ah

(shalom, salam, lam. shalom, salam, lam.)

ah ah...

but oh well, oh well, oh well.

oh well.

their big dream

still remains

to let live and to just live

we won't ever budge to leave

Nakba still.. stains.

 Written today, by me, BluePuffin, Friday May 16. Yesterday was Nakba Day, and this is my way of remembering it. Nakba was when about 750 thousand Palestinians were displaced in 1948, with many of their villages destroyed. Nakba made Israel become a country possible. They aren't able to return to their houses or towns, even now, hence how Nakba still stains the present of injustice. I later changed the lyric "pitiful story" to "sorrowful story". I think I can share the emotional depth more clearly that way, without sounding like I'm seeing anyone as weak. The Palestinians may be anything, but they're not weak. So much years and so much suffering, and they're still here. 

 I made this because the few Palestinian songs I know aren't calm enough for me. I normally can't handle really moved lyrics. Therefore, I made it a bit calmer, but still revealing for those willing to care.
 Below is a raw singing audio. Sadly, it still has the wrong lyric there.
 Not polished, but at least I have a melody.

songs of the week🎶

 One of the songs, the one called Thérèse, by Maya Hawke, really touched me. I heard it many times nonchalantly as a background song in TikTok or Insta vids, but only today I found out what it really means. It refers to this painting, called Thérèse Dreaming.

 I don't understand quite well why THIS drawing, probably because some may see it as voyeuristic or sexually appealing. Maya Hawke made a music video where the woman body was shown naked, but as bodies, not sexual objects. The chorus refers to Thérèse as not belonging to whoever the song was dedicated to, though saying the cars and horses and cowboys do. The song also says, simply "She's just Thérèse.". This song may be hard to interpretate, but I simply see it as Maya saying "women are merely women, not something to be immediately seen as sexual". I couldn't agree more. It may be hard to objectify, specially with the porn culture, but I promise that you'll feel much better when you start seeing every human as a human and not as a sexual object.
