Desert, I ask you

Where are the traces of our friendships?

You are a mystery, you are confusion,

What will come? I do not know.

You bear witness to silence,

Under the stars and the moon.


Desert, I ask you

Where are the traces of our friendships?

You witness the thirst for water,

Yet the waves show no mercy.

You witness the struggle,

Where truth is lost in lies.


Desert, I ask you

How much time is left?

We are all mere mortals,

We wander and learn life's lessons.

Those who rise, those who fall.

Desert, desert,

Desert, I ask you.





Thank You for the lyrics!

Sometimes my first instinct is to hit the fast forward button, but then I remember why I listen to RP in the first place. Rarely is there anything not worth listening to played on RP... This song has a lot of merit, even if I don't understand the lyrics.

GREAT TUNE!  I gave it a TEN. RP introduced me to them.  Now, I have 4 of their tunes on "My Favorites" List.  That is why we come here.  Thanx RP!

Seen them live 3x. They're spellbinding. Hearing them live you'll appreciate them for life.

I've loved these guys' music since I first heard them back in the mid-00's on The Essential Guide to World Music (2006). (Remember CDs?!?) I've seen them perform live four times now. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, their music is visceral and sublime.  Watch the video for this one here.

They don't speak English. It's not four chords. It's different.

It got me singing along, peddling to the bass lines and the backbeat...maybe this will attain godlike status.
