At times, I listen to songs I love in voices I know won’t shatter my fragility. There are two songs .. 1-"يبكي ويضحك لا حزنا ولا فرحا" " cries and laughs, not sadness or joy " 2-"زروني كل سنه مره" "Visit me once a year " I love both...In "Fairuz" voice her voice doesn’t quite match the essence of either story.... it’s too tender There’s a quiet pride in her tone, a heart that holds its distance, too dignified to beg. I find comfort in that distance she creates, in the delicate thread of pride that keeps her from surrendering fully to the lyrics. That space, that restraint... they work like" brakes" keeping my own fragility from falling apart.
