Istanbul müziğinin gururusunuz! Sizi çok seviyorum Light in Babylon!

[@lightinbabylon]

Çok teşekkürler!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@CKD3332]

Light of Babylon last year literally blew my mind away. They are one of the most unique bands i've ever heard. Amazing song once again. Bravo, Light of Babylon.

[@lightinbabylon]

Thank you. with love from Light in Babylon

[@Zelienop1e]

I agree. They feel like a coke fueled elevator ride to 200 yrs ago! They are a modern amalgam I really enjoy.

[@mehmeteking]

Istanbul street music :) I used to listen to them on Istiklal Street.

[@sedamorde]

I am an Iranian and I am telling you that Hayedeh is one of the best singers in Iranian history. "Sal Sal" (Year Year, سال سال) is one of her best songs and you performed it amazing. Thank you. 😍😍❤❤

[@lightinbabylon]

Thank you so much! ❤️ and we love Hayedeh too!

[@ForestCM]

I saw them for the first time on Istiklal in Istanbul in 2011 and been listening since. Their spirit hasn't changed. Love them!

[@MassimoSchiavetta]

you guys are great, and Michal could sing in every language of the world and her voice would sound mesmerizing all the times ❤

[@lightinbabylon]

Thank you! ❤️

[@MCowie]

I have been watching them for at least eight years. It has been fun to watch how far they have come since their early days as street performers. Michal is getting more beautiful every year.

[@josecintron85]

I have been hooked with the sound since the first time I heard Hinech Yafa several years ago.

[@michaelsmullen9891]

My favourite too!

[@oreilly1237878]

Utterly unique.A band and singer second to none.A delight to the senses.

למדתי את השם שלך לפני שהתקדמתי למוזיקה שלך. עכשיו רק הקול שלך יפה, אבל גם השם שלך מיכל! בבקשה אל תפסיק לשיר! אתה מהווה השראה לכל מי שמצא את העבודה שלך! מאת יצחק. תמיד לצחוק ולשמוח! ❤

[@lightinbabylon]

See you ❤️ not on İstiklal street anymore obviously but we promise to come again for a concert in Istanbul.

[@eriktux]

Happy and proud first viewer here! And yet another great song by Light of Babylon 👏🏻

[@lordkamaelpkk]

i'm a game developer and i'm making a game that takes place in the sahara, more specifically right in the richat structure, the eye of the sahara, if i raise enough money i'll definetelly contact you guys so we can collab. i've been a fan of your songs for years, you guys are precious.

[@rekianime]

Kipur sounds very thematic to me. I'm roleplayer and this song kind of breathing with desert vibes :)

[@lordkamaelpkk]

@@rekianime makes sense right? i think it would be fantastic to have her voice and such beautiful instruments in my game, it would be such an honour. i hope i can raise enough money.

[@eveosiris3039]

Reach out anyway. Then you know how much they want and if you might be able to settle for a smaller amount with a royalty rights to a percentage of the games sold

[@lordkamaelpkk]

@@eveosiris3039 you're right i'll probably do that, but the game is on early stages i still have some time

[@donbass4426]

Watching their music videos from Germany for about 10 years.......what to say?.....They are so great.....hoping for a live show around my home town.....;-)

[@shadwmankareem3314]

I tense emotions and references the renowned Iranian singer Hayedeh. It suggests a hypothetical scenario where Hayedeh, if alive today, would be deeply affected by the depicted circumstances, potentially leading to repeated self-harm. Despite the dark themes, the songwriter expresses respect for the subject matter. The lyrics also allude to a period of tragedy or turmoil, using the phrase "sal sal" and mentioning "crushed and accidents." Overall, the song appears to grapple with themes of loss, tragedy, and the weight of existence, drawing inspiration from Hayedeh's emotive legacy.
