A Rock Star Like Melhim Barakat "على بابي واقف قمرين"



If you were to ask me, what is one of the most memorable music pieces in Arabic/Lebanese music for the past 20 years, I would have to put Melhim Barakat's music that he composed for this classic hit of his.

Barakat seems to have really gotten board with the business, there are simply too many mediocre talents out there. I know this song was so hot, that no one around was singing it. The music he composed is so magically charming, and it offers so much instruments as the notes bring joy to one's soul.

Aside from the music, the lyrics of the song are so beautifully simple. Many might think to themselves, I can write this kind of stuff. But so far no one has manged to com close to this classic. As far as performance goes, this was one of the few times, Melhim put everything he has on the line...he is so good in this song, he hits all the notes. His song connected with all listeners, the young get a dose of energy and quick lines, the old, get musical satisfaction and get in the tarab zone.

ملحم بركات-على بابي واقف قمرين
