Yossi speaks about the song Baraka
24 March 2010 by Yossi Sassi-Sa'aron Share
Today I would like to tell you more about how the song “Baraka” was written and its meaning on our album “The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR”.
Baraka started out as a couple of short riff sequences with different tempos and atmospheres: one with a Greek element strongly attached to it, one with a Moroccan rhythm and some melodic riffs I had in the corner of my mind. Essentially it turned out to be a heavy, yet quite melodic and harmonic piece . It became a pivot song in the album’s conceptual tale as well.
Baraka is the song that opens the third and last chapter of the story of the Warrior of Light. It revolves around the Warriors of Light atmosphere and preparations before going to their last battle, the final war as “terrorists of light”. But in contradiction to a terrorist, they do not kill in the name of any god. They illuminate people, enlighten them, wake lost souls with their internal light. They make people realize that the horrible world they live in is their own creation, poisoned by darkness, the blindness from the fruit of Eden that dwells in each and every one of us.
Baraka (blessing) is one of the names of ORwarriOR, the Warrior of Light and the song unveils as he blesses his fellows before embarking on their final battle against darkness…
Facebook campaign “All is one”
22 January 2010 by Nathalie Share
We have started a group on Facebook to help spread the message of unification of Orphaned Land. Here is the text explaining about the page:
Do you believe it is possible to live together in peace, no matter what’s your religion or beliefs, no matter what’s your country or culture?
Do you want to support that message and get it heard by others? Then join us!
This Facebook group is set up by the fanpage of the Israeli band Orphaned Land. The band has been standing for this message through their music for more than 18 years. As their singer Kobi Farhi puts it: “All monotheistic religions believe in the same God, so how is it possible we are still killing each other? We as a band, are about the unification of everything – All Is One.”
To get our voices heard, we propose to team up and get the band a massive chart rating on their song “Sapari” once it will be out on ITunes- January 25th. Let’s all show them how it’s done: fans from all countries, all beliefs unite! ALL IS ONE!
Please help us spread the group, invite all of your Facebook contacts, put the link on your MySpace, in forums etc.
Show the force of the Orphaned Land fans, united we can do this!
If you want to get more involved, you can contact me here
