Well for me, I would like to introduce a friend to the songs of Abdel Halim
i don't know from where to choose or begin with his tracks:
for example:
"
في يوم في شهر في سنة" : for someone who can't be with his love ... great song ... so sad
"
أحضان الحبايب" : for someone lost w don't know from where to seek relief ... saddest song i ever listened ... and most beautiful lyrics i heared ...
"
أهواك" : magnificent music ... outstanding "
تلحين" from abdel wahhab ... the transition between the 2 parts of the song is just great ... as if hearing 2 completely different songs wihtout loosing the essence and meaning of song ...
"
رسالة من تحت الماء" and "
قارئة الفنجان" : great poems for the lovers of "Nizar Kabbani" ... with remarkable "
تلحين" from M.Mougi ... for those who loves the style of "um kulthum" but with improved tuning
"
موعود" and "
حاول تقتكرني" and "
مداح القمر" and "
زي الهوا" and "
أي دمعة حزن": excellent work between the poet Mohamad Hamzah, Baligh Hamdi (simply a genious when it comes to music) and Abdel Halim ... never heared such compete piece of work (
كلمات ولحن وصوت) ... very romantic songs
"
جبار": best music introduction u'll ever hear ... just crazy ... with excellent lyrics
"
نبتدي منين الحكاية" and "
فاتت جنبنا" : it's like living a story with the song ... just can't let it go ... you want to know the end of it ...
and not forgetting the many happy songs as "
ضحك ولعب وجد وحب" and "
قاضي البلاج" and "
جانا الهوا" ...etc and many others for different occasions
as well as the hundreds of patriotic songs sang by Abdel Haim ...
Really i don't know from where to start or end ...
there is a saying "
فيروز عند الصباح ..أم كلثوم عند المساء .. وعبد الحليم في جميع الأوقات"
Thank You ...
