The Baby

discovered this song years ago and it still gets me every single time. feels like such a gorgeously abstract piece, especially with her grandmothers voice at the beginning of the song, introducing us to the touching, nostalgic & ethereal theme of the entire track. there’s just so much here. it feels like the kind of music that would play as i pass into the afterlife. samia, you are a genius !!! سامي، سامي، سمسومة” سامية حلوة ومهضومة الله يخليلي إياكي أنتي روحي وعيوني سيتو بتحبك كتير وأنتي بتشيلي همومي سامي، سامي، سمسومة سامية حلوة ومهضومة I said, "Lovin' you is bigger than my head" And then you dove in And then I said, "I'm afraid that I need men" You said, "Need me then if you are already scared With your mouth up in the air Then try to breathe under the water through this tube" How long do you think we can sit here Before we have to move? We don't talk much in the morning Or beginning when you've just arrived I find that I've forgotten why I did it And I know your middle name But I might know you if I didn't In the moments when you're kissing Like a baby in the kitchen How long? How long? How long do I have left with my dog 'Til I start forgetting shit? (How long?) 'Til we're rich and then we're not And then we're rich? How much longer (how long?) 'til I'm taller? How much longer 'til it's midnight? How much longer (how long?) 'til the morning? Are my legs gonna last? Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Is it?”
