First Song Ever – Khalee Hom (Indie Folk Original)

Описание: I wrote this song about my mom, about how I’ve molded into the same person she is. And as much as I’m proud of that, I see the weight she carried through hardship, love, and loss and now I carry it too.

I’m Arab. I grew up watching my mother move through this world with so much love, so much urgency, always giving, always running. And now I see myself doing the same thing. I love hard. I move fast. I jump quickly. Maybe the world isn’t always ready for that kind of love. Maybe writing this song was my way of letting go of patterns I didn’t know I had.

She always said خليهم khalee hom “leave them,” let them go. But I never really learned how.

This is my first-ever song, written, sung, and produced on my own. I don’t know where this will go, but if it finds you, I hope it means something.

Lyrics

Mama, I’m driving too fast
Hands tight on the wheel
I’ve seen it all, but I still don’t know
How to let go

Thinking of dad and the war
And the nights when you disappeared
Same roads, same fears
I’ve seen it all, and I still don’t know

Mama said khalee hom
Let them go and don’t look back
But I keep chasing ghosts
Loving too hard and losing track

Took every turn just to end up here
Different roads, but same old fears
Every love feels like a past life
They always leave ‘cause I don’t get it right

I hit the gas, I don’t survive
I’m always running and you’re behind
Guess I learned that from you, guess you learned that from me
Or we’re just too blind to see

Mama said khalee hom
Let them go, don’t look back
But I keep chasing ghosts
Loving too hard and losing track

Spinning wheels, same mistakes
Tell me mama, what does it take?
I’m driving too fast
I’ll slow it down
Your past is mine, and I can’t go back

[Chorus]
Mama said khalee hom
Let them go, don’t look back
But I keep chasing ghosts
Loving too hard and losing track

I’ve seen it all,
I’ve seen it all,
And I’m still alone
I’m still alone
I’m moving fast
I’m moving fast
Mama, I can’t
Mama, I can’t go back
