For You Shadi By Fairouz



My best friend in college is Shady and one of the most touching and dramatic songs by the timeless Lebanese diva Fairouz has the title of Shady. The song still remains the only one in its kind to bring friendship, war and childhood into such a personalized way.

This is a song about growing up in Lebanese where unrest and wars took a heavy toll on the people of that land. This song picks no side, but rather shows you the tragedies of war when people are separated from each other and losing track of loved ones. This story is very common in Lebanon and Palestine.

so for you Shady, who I do not get to see as often as I would like goes this song by the first lady of Arabic music.
