Mamak Khadem feat. Chris Martin “Across The Oceans“

Poetry of Maulana Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī, Translated by Coleman Barks If you want to be a lover, give up trying to figure the odds on what you should do next. Be a moth!  Dive off the cliff! Become the fearless flame. Tear down your house. Live with lovers.  Wash your heart of any anger.  Wash it seven times! Be the wineglass.  Toast with yourself! You are the wineglass.  Toast with yourself! You are the wineglass;  The wine here is love.  This love Composed by Mamak Khadem& Jamshied Sharifi produced, arranged, recorded, and mixed by Jamshied Sharifi Mamak Khadem – voice Chris Martin – voice, piano Coleman Barks - poetry recitation Roubik Haroutunian – duduk Ivan Chardakov – gaida Marc Copely – acoustic and electric guitars Megan Gould – violin, viola Christopher Votek – cello, guzheng Jamshied Sharifi – keyboards, bass, percussion Alona Mor Freedman, Mirabai Gould, Kai Sakamoto Sharifi, Pema Sukhmani Sieber – children’s choir
