Composed in Kelachan village, Iran, Fall 2020. This is the second piece from a collection titled “Unspoken”. As for the dramatic aspects, this piece was inspired by a poem called “The Common Love” by the contemporary Persian poet Ahmad Shamlou (1925-2000):

I am not a story you could narrate,
Not a melody you could sing,
Not a sound you could hear,
Or a sort you could see,
Or a thing you could know…
I am the common pain,
Cry me out!

“Zagros” is the name of the largest mountain range in Iran. The bases of Zagros have been the location of several dynasties and civilisations, and the birthplace of many ancient Persian myths since thousands of years ago.
