...i am very much in love with your music.
*sighs*
the lyrics are mostly only about superficial love really.. :)
but the melody... masyaAllah the melody is a beautiful gift Allah gave to these arabs.. they are really talented. they can combine the use of percussion.. and wind instruments... and guitar... and violin (!!! i really love the violin! :D) and create something so... beautiful. (unlike those memekak rock songs my sister likes so much :/)
and also of course... their language.. the lugha arabiah is a melodious language all by itself. :) eventhough you dont understand what the singer is saying, but its nice to the ears.
some of other arabian things i like besides their music:

-clothes.. they come in so many designs and colours.. and the best thing is they cover the aurad.. :) [ever noticed arabian couples on honeymoon? look at the wife, so pretty right! :D]

-perfumes... some can really smell like majidil haram and annabawi... ma'thar fawah.. you must get it at bin dawood if you go there... it will help when your heart aches from missing the two mosques..
another one is buruj al khaleej.. but this one you need to burn the coal and is smokey... but the smell's nice.
unlike ma'thar fawah, in which you just need to spray. spray in an airconditioned room when you are about to pray. masyaAllah you will feel you're almost praying in madinah.

-kahl aka eyeliner. made of the finest black kohl. i saw the mountain where they took the kohl in the desert :D no eyeliner can match the beauty of this kahl. [and can improve your eyesight too]

-house designs. uses a lot of spotlights, colourful cushions which are unmatched, rich carpets, sitaar or separators instead of walls (separates men from women), perfumes, blue and green tall lamps, carved windows, embroidered sofas mostly just big cushions on the carpets. nice~

-desert nights now thats romantic :p

k.... i miss arabia thats it...
