This song was released for those who think about boycotting the elections in Egypt and those who want to vote to help bring back the regime that killed so many people. Mohammed Abbas is shaming all of those in Egypt at the moment by reminding them of the heavy toll paid by so many people to bring down the regime. Why would the living now bring back the same regime?
This is a sad song with good production. Lyrically rich, musically appealing. But this is a really smart song with a guy who does not lack passion. I did learn that this song is part of the Muslim Brotherhood push for winning the election. They want to turn out the votes, help get people rallied around them. Abbas is a Muslim Munshid whose earlier songs included a song where he refuses to leave Egypt to look for better opportunities.
They picked Mohammed Abbas for this task. He has a low profile yet a very capable song. The Muslim Brotherhood made the right call to achieve their goal here. they did not put their log on the song, but the song serves their cause. Notice, how the song also mentions the name of some Christians who also lost their lives in an effort to oust Mubarak.
وهانوا عليك | محمد عباس
