My Favorite Arabic Song
The music industry is huge with a very wide variety of artists, some depend on their own voice, others depends on the music or the beat thy are using and so on, but in Arabic music realm, most of the artists, if not all, focus so much on their voices, that doesn’t mean they don’t care about the quality of their music though. So, for today, I will be talking about a very popular song in the middle east, and I will try my best to explain why it got this popular. The song is called “انتحل شخصيتك" in Arabic, which means I will mimic your personality. First of all, the song starts with an instrument we call Oud (عود), this is the instruments that is known that Arabs love to play in their traditional songs. The sound of it is between a guitar and a violin, it is usually played in soft/ slow pace songs. In fact, there is a whole genre in Arabic music that is associated with Oud. Anyways, the oud plays for few seconds then a keyboard tone is added to the oud, which gives the song an even more calm vibe to it, then in the middle of the verses a violin is played. I guess by now you already guessed what the song is going to talk about, it is love. The singer starts singing by saying, and I translate here:
“I will mimic your personality
And I will stand by my mirror
I will hug me, I will love me
And I will tell me what the world has sone to me”
I do not know if “mimic” is the right word to use, but what he means is that he will his lover, as if she was with him, and hug himself and speak to mi self as if she was with him. I think just the first verse of it make get attached to the song and kind of want to keep listening to it. Then after the first verse, which lasts until 2:10, the oud keeps playing but in a different tone for twenty seconds or so, then the second verse starts. The second verse is exactly similar to the first one but with different lyrics, that talk about he misses his love and prays to god bring them back together. The singer’s voice is incredible, it is not like those type of voices where you would expect to make very clear high notes, but it is a voice that would deliver the emotions to the listeners. His voice makes you feel his pain and thus you continue listening to it until the end of the song. But for me, the main two things that made this song very successful are the oud played in the background and the lyrics. Yes, it has a simple oud play in it, but it really does give you the vibe of sadness/ missing someone. And the lyrics are so sad, I will state some of the best lines in it.
1) “you made me drown in your love, but you made my flag white
I have given up, but filled with hope that I’d come to you and filled with love to you”
2) “didn’t I tell you? Ever since that time, I’m praying to god
to make you closer to me, and god gives me hope and will help me.
even if you were not meant for me , I’d still stand in front of my mirror
and will mimic your personality and tell me what the world has done to me”
If yo think of giving it try, I will leave the Spotify link for it, I really hope you enjoy it.

Hi!! I did a year of violin a couple of years ago and left because I felt embarrassed of practising at home and I wasn't getting any better. Now I'm not embarrassed any more and practice a bit almost everyday. The problem is that I can't afford an instructor right now and I wanted to ask you If you have any tips I can follow to get better and know I'm playing it the right way (:
Hi!
Are you at school? If you are, you can find the music director and ask them to give you a couple points. Find a few violin beginner books. Go to a music store or a sheet music store (keep ‘em in business!) and see what they could offer in terms of self-teaching violin books.
Bow position: pink on the screw of the bow, don’t let your fingers touch the hair.
Shoulder rest! Make sure you’re holding the violin so that you can hold it up with just your chin and shoulder, no help from your hands.
Left wrist should curve around away from the neck. Don’t collapse your fingers. Everything should be pretty relaxed.
