A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
“This morning I was born
And baptised in the dawn
I flowered in the dew
And life was fresh and new
The sun shone through the cold
And through the day I grew
By night-time I was old”

The Rose by Françoise Hardy

The original singer for “Comme d’habitude” was with my father in school. Lot’s of singers sang it with its original French lyrics including, Michel Sardou, Mireille Mathieu, Lara Fabian, Cheb Khaled, Faudel and Rachid Taha. Frank Sinatra sang it in English and called it My Way, and you can see Elvis and Nina Simone singing it too. Also Gipsy Kings and Infierno 18 had a Spanish versions of it, as well as some Arabic singer that I never heard of before.

Finally, here is the original song by Claude François:

Most of us know that song by Fairuz called Bint El Shalabiya.

But recently I noticed another Iraqi singer, Ilham Madfaay singing the same song.

After some googling, it appears that the original music is from a Syrian Folklore Music called “El Ozoubeya Talet Alayya”. See Sabah Fakhry singing the Syrian folklore here.

And finally, here is the music played on Ud by Mounir Bachir

““The look of literacy and the evolution of written forms are the results of a struggle between the eye of the reader and the hand of the writer. The conservative eye demands order, pattern and regularity for maximum legibility, but the radical hand strives for speed, ease, and grace for maximum efficiency”, Chuck Bigelow & Kris Holmes”
