Sunrise - Marjan Vahdat

The song "Sunrise" from the album Our Garden Is Alone tells the story of forced displacement and the longing for a homeland. The garden—the world, the Earth—stands alone, waiting for the hands that will care for it, despite the harm and neglect caused by those in power. The images capture a time when Marjan was still living in Iran. The video is made by: Tahmineh Monzavi Sunrise Poem and melody: Marjan Vahdat Arranged by Bugge wesseltoft You are the cry hiding in my chest, You are the twilight in the throat of the red sky of home. Over there the moon looks at you in a different way, The intoxication has been has been encapsulated in a different grapevine. The lonely plant rooted in the desert, how should its pain of longing be cured? The echo of the melody of your voice is wrapped by my soul. You give life to the sun rays of my vision, You bring the sunrise to the shadow of the clouds of my chest. I am the blue sky of your realm, I am a cloud of hope in your mirage.
