Outlandmoro

Filed In: General      

ok, so since i have time to post here, lemme post about what i’m in love with these days: Outlandish..


now, i’ve loved this band a long time ago.. but their latest album (Closer Than Veins) is amazing..
their first album (Bread & Barrels Of Water) was more cultural than religious.. this one HAS culture but there are more religious references or ideas than the first one.. their song “Look Into My Eyes” is like a letter to ppl in America and Europe, asking them to see things through muslims’ (specifically ppl in Palestine) eyes.. it’s actually quite meaningful and nice.. begining of the song says:

Look into my eyes
Tell me what ya see
U don’t see a damn thing
Cuz u can’t relate to me

U blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to u
I’m the persecuted one
U the red, white and blue

Each day u wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thankin’ God He let me rise

Ya worry ‘bout your education
And the bills u have to pay
I worry ‘bout my vulnerable life
And if I’ll survive another day

Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket
As ya cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that’s just left
Will turn around and come back

Another song, called “I’ve Seen” is about what we’re going through.. or as they put it, what this “Ummah” is going through.. part of it goes:

What happened to the ummah
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can u tell
Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech
People came from afar just to hear us teach
Yo what happened to the ummah
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can u tell
Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen we feel secure
‘Cause our mansions are locked

one last song i like is called Sakeena.. it’s about women in general, and they show how women AREN’T being oppressed or that they’re underappreciated.. and one last time, it goes:

This ain’t a love song
This is a life song

Woman, ur my equal, my wife
We be tight like
2 perfectly matching calligraphy lines

We don’t wanna build our house of earth, water and stone
But of wisdom, pure intentions, conversation
Compassion, and action, with purity of heart
We might get somewhere, become light
Fast and burn like a candle, right
Intertwined, u give me peace of mind
I cloak u and u cloak me
Responsible I feel with honesty
Between us God has put affection and mercy
Praised be He who created u
Cuz all I see in u is beautiful

So this is what i’m listening to these days.. it’s a good way to show ppl who think that all muslims are terrorists or don’t have brains that we actually have a way of life and we’re not idiots.. we know what’s happening in the world and we know what we’re going through ourselves..
so anyways, lemme get off my soap box and tell u that u should all get the album cos other than the lyrics being nice, their voices and songs in general are all very nice :D
so.. yea… i’ll see y’all lol
