Arabic Songs Sound Like "Here Without You "



Ever wonder what do Arabic songs sound like to those who do not speak the langauge, to translate the words is easy, but the capture the feeling of a song is almost impossible. So if you are ever asked about Arab songs tell them there are many great American songs that talk about the same things Arabic ones talk about.

Here is one song that I think is very similar to a great deal of love songs in Arabic. The honor goes to 3 Doors down and their hit song "Here Without You", the energy and the atmosphere of the song as well as the mode is very close to the Arabic song experience. Yes, it's all in the drama and the sad stories of the broken heart who cannot move one.

If you are a student of Arabic language or the music, you might have a better way to telling the similarities than I do. While, I feel that folks and country music are very close in terms of the story line to Arabic songs in the 60s,70s especially. Some Blues song also draw the dark pictures many Arab singers work hard to come up with.
