They'll take your hope
They'll take your soul
Grow old watching your dreams go up in smoke
But at least, I don't live in Russia

just came across this beautiful rendition of siúil a rúin by irish-palestinian artist roisin el cherif. this song has always been close to my heart, especially after it's use in the nightingale, a film that explores the (ongoing) colonial violence on the island that i call home.
i really love the way that she weaves the arabic language into this song, as well as the influences from both irish and palestinian styles of music.
all the proceeds of the release are being donated to the doctors without borders gaza emergency regional fund so if you love her rendition as much as i do i would really recommend purchasing it on band-camp (i've linked it above).

"What would your life be like without music?"
Miserable. I'd rather bite the sidewalk and have someone stomp on my skull than not have music.
