Moustafa Amar Best Pop Song Ever Is "سكة العاشقين "


Or the Path of Lovers. It might be the most special and most personal song of this Egyptian singer's entire career. To begin understanding this song, Moustafa started his career as a composer, he was that hip kid everyone wanted to work with him. Then naturally, he started to sing and he made a lot of good choices in light pop songs that lived on and told us about this young, charming and good looking Alexandria boy.

Early on his career, he has found a song that will cement his career. It was a pop song unlike any other. For starter, it's close to 8 minutes long, so it's a story, not just two notes and chorus. The length of the music video allows us to watch back story for the music video about people falling in love.

I was listening to this song this morning, and I noted how the mood changes and so does the energy and the musical notes. This is a feature of American songs more so than Arabic pop ones. It plays like a guy talking to himself or thinking out loud about something and with that comes ups and downs. The story of a romance that can go bitter, but then things get sorted out. You will laugh, you will dance and you might tear up while this song plays.

Look at Moustafa and his youth, he had it back then and this song was every man's song...all the cool kids were singing it.
