 | | "Just Me" Outlandish - 245 sec
It's finally here, baby! My music video for Outlandish's "Just Me" from Closer Than Veins Album. Enjoy, and share it with your peeps, okay!
Don't forget to rate it, so I know you're watching it!
Islamofascism, Jihadists, Islamic terorrists - This music video shows how US media use these terms and others to spread hate against and within Islam, Muslims, and Arabs.
Just Me
Switch on the TV what do I see
Yet another guy that looks just like me
Another picture, Another story, Another tale, Another piece
Some guy who got shot
Young guy left to rot
Lady got robbed
Some guys who got stopped
Open the paper in search of news and enlightenment
Met by some story 'bout hate and incitement
Half the stories in the paper 'bout us
Another woman got assaulted on the bus
There's a piece about young immigrants and thugs
Another article 'bout brother selling drugs
Turn the page hurt my eyes enough
Yo this bs everyday is tough
It's just me, just me
Yet again all the talks about me
Just me, just me
No matter what I do, you can't set your mind free,
Hear a lie enough times and you believe it for sure
Obstacles in your way make u wanna quit
And turn your back on everything
Shine a light up
Brothers and sisters going get brighter
Even though the media try to demonize us
Need to wiser
With eyes wide shut
We ain't gon' get nowhere
So man listen up
Raise your cup
It ain't half empty
It's half full
Life is a test
It faces many obstacles
Con la frente siempre en alto hasta el crepúsculo
Nunca esperando un milagrito mayúsculo
Soy ciego a los lamentos de aquellos que se aferran a ser victimas
Blanco, negro
Creyente no creyente
La belleza de este mundo es que somos differentes
Translation:
[Always facing the twilight
Never expecting miracles to happen
I have immunity to the wailing of those who insists on being victims
White, black
Believers, non-believers
The beauty of this world is the fact that we are different]
It's just me, just me
Yet again all the talks about me
Just me, just me
No matter what I do, you can't set your mind free,
Another day in parliament politicians speak
So call Guardians of the land protectors of the weak
Immigration this integration that
Minorities dissed again same ol' chat
Open the paper in search of news and enlightenment
Met by some story bout hate and incitement
Half the stories in the paper bout us
Another woman got assaulted on the bus
Theres a piece about young immigrants and thugs
Another article 'bout brother selling drugs
Turn the page hurt my eyes enough
Yo this bs everyday is tuff
It's just me, just me
Yet again all the talks about me
Just me, just me
No matter what I do, you can't set your mind free

| | Outlandish & Sami Yusuf "Try not to cry" 4 Children of Adam - 294 sec
Song featured in Sami Yusuf's "My Ummah" album, done with english text of the lyrics.
I made this after watching Sami Yusuf and Isam on a concert together performing this song. They pointed out that this song speaks of any troubled children in the world, even if some lyrics explicitly point to the Palestinian struggle. All of the videos on this song that I saw on YouTube represent that particular struggle only. I'd like to return to the concept of the creators of the music, and try to incorporate all of the world's children's suffering-- this is my attempt at it.
Please rate it and tell me what you think-- constructive criticism is highly preferred over blind offense, and appreciation is always welcomed.
If you want to help, give your time or your earnings to causes you believe in. It's not how much you give, it's that you give.
This is my preference charity outlet that I trust, but you can choose your own:

Corcerning Music and Islam:
After searching the quran and found empty on any banning of music, I turn to Hadeeth:
Hadeeth Shahih Muslim (excerpts from www.quran.net)
Muhammad, peace be upon him allows the enjoyment of singing and musical instruments. Hence, music is not haram.
Book 004, Number 1942:
" 'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came (in my apartment) while there were two girls with me singing the song of the Battle of Bu'ath. He lay down on the bed and turned away his face. Then came Abu Bakr and he scolded me and said: Oh! this musical instrument of the devil in the house of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)! The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned towards him and said: Leave them alone. And when he (the Holy Prophet) became unattentive, I hinted them and they went out, and it was the day of 'Id and negroes were playing with shields and speare. (I do not remember) whether I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) or whether he said to me if I desired to see (that sport). I said: Yes. I stood behind him with his face parallel to my face, and he said: O Banu Arfada, be busy (in your sports) till I was satiated. He said (to me): Is that enough? I said: Yes. Upon this he asked me to go."
Song/Music are just tools, like talking, that can deliver both good and evil. Talking can do a lot of harm (backbiting, gossiping), but Talking in general isn't haram - only backbiting and gossiping is haram. Music does the same, so why some people want to claim it Haram, when it is only a tool to perform good or evil. Listening to good music is like listening to talks of good and beauty of the creation of Allah, and listening to raunchy music is like listening to gossip. So claim haram to only those music that are lustful and profane, but not all music - especially good music.
Book 033, Number 6422:
"Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect."
King Abdullah claim title "Guardian of two Holy Cities" website reference:
"On the death of King Fahd on 1st August, 2005, the title of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was assumed by King Fahd's successor, King Abdullah." --- is from Ministry of Hajj, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia website:

| | Kom Igen by Outlandish - 265 sec
Full CD Song "Kom Igen" from Outlandish's 3rd Album "Closer than Veins". Still pictures with text translated to english. I made this because the music video by Outlandish omitted a big segment of the song out. I think it's because the featured artists couldn't make it for the video shoot. So, here they arein voice form. Video's lame I know, but I was focusing on music and text. So, there you go!
