| Assalaamu Alaikum, I love the blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum. when bro Dawud came to Taking it to the Streets in Chicago, he told us that a four year old came up with almost all of the lyrics! I can't decide on my favorite song. But this one, why are the drums so silent, wisdom and tea, we've scanned the sky, the letter, theeverythingsong, colors of Islam, whisper of peace, the prophet, madinatun nabi, al-khaliq, the beautiful story of yusuf, and the prophet Ibrahim song are amongst my favorites. Fatoosh |

| as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatAllah, sunshine, dust & the messenger is so beautiful, subhanAllah. I remember a while back a brother explaining why he liked a particular speaker.. he said, I always feel like his words are like water, seeping into the small gaps of my heart that don't allow much else in. That's how I feel about brother dawud wharnsby ali.. his voice, the ocean of meaning in his songs.. he just moves me. May Allah reward him for his efforts :) I definitely recommend all of his tapes, some of which you can listen to [url=http://www.radioislam.com/melodies/]here[/url], and all of which you can buy [url=http://www.soundvision.com/cgi-bin/soundvision.storefront/303794355/Product/View/213&2D030]here[/url]. Here's what br dawud wrote in response to a question a sister had about some lyrics in "Rhythm of Surrender": [color=black]The line in `Rhythm of Surrender' about the "...Running wind upon the graves" is found alongside other images of "rhythm" which can either be seen or heard: "Can you hear the rhythm...of...the storm against the sand and the pulsating waves? Can you see the rhythm of...the children running wind upon the graves." The second line plays with the English language as it connects two separate images with one word that can belong to either image. Example: You can read the line as: "Can you see the rhythm of the children running" (as children play there is rhythm in the sound of their feet running, skipping, jumping etc.) OR you can read the line as: "Can you see the rhythm of the children." then attach the word "running" to the next concept as "...Running wind upon the graves" (as wind passes over a quiet burial ground you can hear it's rhythm pass through the grass and over the mounds of earth). Likewise, you can read the second line with or without the word "running" attached to it. Therefore, the word "running" acts as a sort of comma and can be attached to either concept separately or can be used for both concepts, as in "Children running." and "Running wind." Overall, you also see the comparison of children playing vs. graves full of dead bodies, which exemplifies the rhythm of life and death. Playing with words in this way is a lot of fun and helps to keep my mind fresh and keep other people's minds wondering. I am so glad that you inquired about my choice of words. I love to know that folks are listening and reflecting, even if my execution of creative imagery is not always very coherent, it is wonderful to know that people are interested in delving deeper into the things they read or hear. This is how we should all be with the words of Allah as well. There are so many double meanings in the things I write, even in something as silly as "Animals Love Qur'an". Often I throw in personal symbols and jokes that only those close to me would understand. Sometimes my double meanings are secrets only Allah and I are aware of. It is fun to use language in playful ways while also trying to educate and entertain. Peace, Dawud [/color] |

| salaamz. :) i love Dawud Wharnsby Ali's nasheeds aswell! they just stick into your head..like slime said. My favourites are many: *the ramadhan one: 'we've scanned the sky' *from Sunshine, Dust & the Messenger: 'why are the drums so silent?' *'My Ummah' ..i think thats what its called.. :) *The veil'..or the 'hijaab song' as most people call it! :-) *the one written by (or was it dedicated to) the Kosovans: 'the letter' I've only got 'Sunshine, Dust & the Messenger' and 'Road to Madinah'. I'm gonna try to get all of 'em! :) wlm zakira ;-D |

| [slm] I bought a couple of Dawud Wharnsby tapes at ISNA in September. I have to admit, the songs do live up to the hype! I like these the most: - Veil - Story of Yusuf - The everything song - Why are the drum so silent? One question: what does that last song mean? I cannot figure it out! What do the "drums" symbolize? |

| Salaam Alaikum Are we allowed to discuss in the ARK? Anyway, check out this interview that Radioislam.com had with bro Dawud when Sunshine, dust, and the Messenger first came out. He disscusses that last song: http://www.radioislam.com/Melodies/dawud-sunshine.ram I'm about 80% sure that this is the right link. But my sound isn't working, so this may not be it. To me, the drums refer to the real stuff-- the stuff when people are strong in their iman and are working hard. it refers kinda to the work, the struggle. |

Me and my little 10 year old cousin used to JAM to that song when I was in california! "I'm gonna take my bicycle and ride up to the wind(?)...and something something something..the mosquitos and the birds!....Have you ever said adhan while standing high up in a tree" hehe! aww..i love that song! Its so happy masha'Allah. Wassalam, Nazia |

| [slm] i like that one too kathy :) but the one that makes my eyes tear up is the one on Whisper of Peace about the Prophet SAW "...as the people came to where the Prophet lay ...oh beautiful man why do sit here weeping?" the Prophet cries "my ummah those who follow me, the future of their faith makes me worry till i cry..." *sniff* [wlm] |
