My new song “Time for a Change” is out now.
I’ve diagnosed myself with what I call a “double-edged character merit.” I’m too stubborn to give up. If I truly believe in something, I’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen. That’s supposed to be a good trait, right?

“Life is an unanswered question, but let's still believe in the dignity and importance of the question.”
—Tennessee Williams
Indeed, life is an unanswered question. We walk through the path of life seeking answers to many questions—mundane ones, important ones, life-altering ones, philosophical ones and unanswerable ones. This song is about the last bit, and it’s open-ended.

“Soaring telephone fees cut off Lebanon’s poor from their phones”.
“Threat of internet outages continue in Lebanon amid Ogero (the Lebanese telecommunication official body) Strike”
