Labreez (Overflow),
The music of thoughts and feelings
The music of Labreez was made for a collection of
poetry about the sea. As a metaphor each piece speaks
of an inner voice that cries out in blues or turmoil
like tide and flow of the sea, the rhythms the tune
the tempo and over all harmony is to express the pain
& sorrow, joy & trill or even the silence of the sea
within each one of us.
This music guides us to go beyond our ordinary
expectation and think in a deeper way. Its purpose is
not only for easy listening nor being used for another
background music, but to break the usual boundary of
repetition and bringing a new vision to the music of
Iran. Although the base of this music is rock and
metal, but it is in correlation with the language of
the poetry or in another words; this is to combine the
old profound but simple words of Fereydoon Moshiri's
poetry to a new way of listening for the young
generation's ears. Maybe this approach will reach
inside each individual, and by letting it in, more
thoughts and feelings in a deeper sense will be
aroused.
Here is a brief explanation about each track:
1. In conversation with the sea, like a child tells the
Mother about his loneliness and hinderer.
2. Loosing a Jewel like Love in the sea is hidden in
the music...
3. Awaiting for years, as a long dark night seeking
the break of the morning light.
4. The storm and hurricane has taken all he had, and
the music cries from the mouth of this almost drowned
fellow, towards the stormy sea.
5. The tired fellow is now in the shore reaching the
sleepless Mother but this time to be cleans by her
wave with hopes of annihilation in her deep sea.
6. In all the struggles, running and falling, trials
and errors, not to loose hope at the end of all the
hopeless attempts, resembles the struggle of the shell
that produces a pearl of hope inside.
7. In the rain shower, hearing the sound of each rain
drop and feeling their excitement as they mix with the
sand, in order to bring sparkling beauty to the
gardens and valleys. To join with the other rain
drops, to loose themselves in the love of one another,
and above all become one unit, the sea.
8. The Moon looking at Earth with tears in his eyes
for all of the wars and shedding of bloods he sees,
for the pain of not being able to hear the voices of
innocents and pure. The destruction of this world that
once was built by our own hands causes a tide like
overflow (Labreez) of sadness to the point that even
the soil of earth, can feel all the pains and
sufferings, and wishes to be drowned.
9. Hearing the sound of the sea, as the water strikes
the rocks at shore, the poet remembers the storm of
with in, calling to the sea for purification to be
free of all unjust....
