this is probably the greatest unexpected musical performance I've ever seen in a movie. this will always be special.

I raise you From Her To Eternity by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in Wings of Desire by Wenders (1987), and also Lorrando (Crying) by Rebecca Del Rio in Mulholland Drive. But this one still makes the top 3 😉

Here is a Translation of the Lyrics for those who are interested : i adore you, even if a day passes by without seeing you. i forget you ? how come this time i drew you. the Longing moves the nostalgia in my heart the night gets longer and the day passes backwards oh my fragile heart the separation is killing me i have no solution (hal) i have no solution the heart only loves once (2) oh my fragile heart the separation is killing me i have no solution (hal) i have no solution the heart only loves once The heart only longs once

Once i watched this film at 20 , i didn’t like it , 6years later one of my friends explained the mood of Jim Jarmoosh films and the way of he make films , then i found out what a perfect film i watched and i didn’t get it that moment , only lovers left alive is talking to artists and kinda tell people only art can save you so only artists will survive(mentaly from this chaos in this world)

[@Janellabelle]

Eh. If you didn't like it when you watched it, the way he makes movies just isn't your thing...and that's perfectly fine.

I've only seen the movie once, but it was incredible. I'm a musician and the vision of music through the vampire was so poetic omg, hard to describe. Here I loved the use of an ebow witch is pretty new to me when associated with oriental languages.

I bought ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE sight unseen several years ago, and was mesmerized by the film, and this song. As with so many other commentators, I don't speak Arabic, but this song spoke to me, of themes universal, poetic, even tragic. Some things transcend translation.

Yasmine has to be one of the most beautiful women to ever exist🔥💖

[@saroyafanniel8932]

This song is amazing. The instrumentation has a haunting quality and the vocals take it to a whole other level. We've all been there. The point of no return: when longing and despair meet at the crossroads. Then after days of being in the abyss you break through to clarity. I stumbled across a jewel of information, while I was researching something else entirely unrelated, that illuminated the deeper meaning that the music already implies. It confirmed that the lyrics are a perfect compliment to the composition. Ironing out the issues with translating languages that are not Latin-based and/or Romance Languages is a fascinating alphabetical, grammatical and semantics excursion. Especially since a major handful of languages are predominantly metaphorical. The specific aspect of 'Hal', and of a few instances in the rest of the translation, is what I found to be different from what is on the WEBsites. What I came across, while researching the esoteric similarity of certain concepts within Zoroastrianism and Islam, was a comprehensive definition of the word. It refers to a state of consciousness; perception. It is also the equivalent to the Sanskrit word 'Maya' (illusion). So I would like to suggest lyrics that may be closer to Ms. Hamdan's intentions. My suggestion is first, followed by the translation found on some lyrics sites. i love you, if a day passes without seeing you i want to forget you and I hear the bitter thoughts. Longing stirs the memories in my heart the long night poisons my heart in the day oh my fragile heart this blockage hurts me I have no illusion I have no illusion time is no friend to my heart THE WEBs LYRICS =============== i adore you, even if a day passes by without seeing you. i forget you ? how come this time i drew you. the Longing moves the nostalgia in my heart the night gets longer and the day passes backwards the separation is killing me i have no solution (hal) i have no solution the heart only loves once -----------------------------------

Completely head over hills for this woman. Her music speaks beyond words

[@musicadictor]

when i first heard this in the movie i didnt particularly like it.. but watching the movie again and again, listening to the whole soundtrack for endless hours..now i inexplicably love this.. and i dont even have a clue what it is about..

[@Snowy1028]

I totally agree. And if you're interested in hearing, the song, if I'm not mistaken, is about her fragile heart and how she doesn't have a solution so that it will love only once. "Hal" in Arabic means "solution".

[@holf99]

what movie is this from?

[@Snowy1028]

Only Lovers Left Alive

[@holf99]

No need for translating this, the music, the beautiful voice, her mannerism and putting herself and the crowd in the moment speaks for itself. Beautiful...(not sure how anyone can give this a thumbs down but everyone is entitled to their own opinion) thanks for posting this

[@sumatra]

English sucks

[@ayoubelmimouni1629]

You're right .. you need Arabic

[@EonsOfReflection]

You're right, you need soul. I am getting sufi vibes from this. And I am seeing it as a love song about the relationship between ones self and higher self. Where love is: presence. When we are not connected to soul, we forget about it. That's how it makes sense when she says she loves so much, yet if she doesn't see him for a day she forgets him. Then when we think of soul, the longing actually moves nostalgia in our hearts. Cos soul is not to be thought of, as thought only conjures illusions/distortion. Which is what nostalgia is, seeing things in some romanticised way, instead of how they really happened. When we are so lost in our perception, instead of experiencing what is, as it goes when live in connection with Soul, the night is longer because in our dream state we return back to this relationship. And the day feels backwards because it is lived not in connection. Then comes compassion for the heart, as it is the portal. And at the same time, the place where we feel when we are disconnected from soul. When I say disconnected, I mean, living in ignorance of, as it's not really possible to be disconnected from our essence, but we can betray it by the way we live, by not honouring it and not letting it inform our action. So if connection to source is life giving, then not living in connection feels like dying. There is no solution (hal) because we are multidimensional, here to experience being a human, while at the same time actually being a soul. You would think that the heart would show a craving for this connection, a desire, but it somehow doesn't, because it is always one with soul. So there is no solution (hal) for that. It's the paradox of the soul having a human experience...

She would be too awesome to keep to myself anyway.
