Lyrics: Michal Elia Kamal
Composition: Michal Elia Kamal, Julien Demarque, Metehan Ciftci
Istanbul
Crowded street
Someone push, someone breathe
Looking at with a tired face
I'm not smiling
Smog is over the autumn flowers
these are the sight of the west
which I don't belong to
and if you love me
release me from the pain
and let me go
in a far away sunny land
i will be waiting for you
when you will come back
from the fall
and Istanbul -
is shaking
look, I'm not afraid
it`s true, I don't have to,
But I love you (her) still

insanın hayatını değiştirecek tarzdan insanlar bunlar kız Fars, asıllı gitar calan arkadaş Fransız, santur calan ise Türk. İstiklal caddesinde rast geldim onlara durdum gözlerimi kapattım ve sadece dinledim sanki bir dünya turuna çıkardılar beni.Müzisyen oldugumdanmidir nedir tanışmak konusmak istedim yaptıkları müzik gercekten büyüleyici geldi bana. Albümleri varmis aldım hemen bitane bütün şarkıları defalarca dinledim. Bu insanlar natural kalma peşinde kimseye eyvallah etmeden sadece yaptıkları muzikten zevk almak ve saygı görmek istiyorlar. Sokak muzisyenligi gerçekten saygı gormesi gereken bir yaşam tarzi. onlara iyi bakin..

You definitely are my favorite band EVER! I always tried to find a musician/ band who could create deep music, but also lyrics written with the soul, but I never found what I was looking for. Until now. You are so perfect. I have read all the lyrics on your official website, listened to everything you have released on UKposts. You all three are truly divinely inspired, believe me, I know, I am an empath, I can feel the amount of light from a person. Please don't let the illusion of fame get you in the future. You are perfect exactly how you are. I replaced my daily meditation and prayers routine to listening to you, it connects me directly to God. Thank you for offering us your inner treasures.
