about

3rd Single off the 'Nasi' Album.

Three things to know about this song:

1) 90% of the percussion sounds for this song were crafted using ski pants, a sweater, body parts, and ikea-packaged items.

2) These two descriptions of Alb Maskoon can be true. It just depends on your mindset when you listen, and which meaning of 'Maskoon' appeals to you.
- A pendulum, a dance, a heart forever 'inhabited' with love.
- A pendulum, a dance, a heart forever 'haunted' by love.

3) Did you know that a pendulum never stops swinging in a vacuum? That's what I was thinking about when I started writing, while playing the two-note phrase/theme that you first hear in the cello intro.

lyrics

كيف بتاخدني وبترجعني؟
دقات قلبي بتوديني لوين ما تكون
كيف بتاخدني وبترجعني
وين ما تكون؟
كل دقة صارت رقصة خطواتها بتحرك قلب مسكون

رقاص الساعة إيقاع مفتون، كأنه رواية بدون نهاية، في قلب مسكون
مهما تتأمل تنساني صدى صوتي بيضله يعيد وإنت بعيد
كيف بتاخدني وبترجعني
وين ما تكون؟
كل دقة صارت رقصة خطواتها بتحرك قلب مسكون
رقاص الساعة إيقاع مفتون، كأنه رواية بدون نهاية، في
قلب مسكون
