The song

The nice song is called “Shababeik” which means windows. Sung by Mohamed Mounir. The poet Magdy Naguib thought about it while he was politically imprisoned for opposing the controversial yet widely influencial Egyptian president Nasser who ruled from 1954 till 1962. The poet was deeply affected by being imprisoned with no trial as a form of political tyranny. Although he was a supporter of Nasser and just wanted to express opinion, he was still falsly imprisoned.

The song

A few years ago, I used to listen to the song “Comme Moi” by Edit Piaf a lot. I had it playing on a loop. I was living in a rented apartment with a flatmate that I met by mere coincidence, but he became one of the closest friends I’ve ever had. I was committed to a healthy lifestyle then. I paid daily visits to a nearby gym. The coach was a very peculiar man. Short, bulky, and with a strange voice, he gave a fun aspect to gym visits. He had very sharp and strange opinions. Very fanatic about football, he used to yell in a funny way at the players on the TV while we exercised, making us all drop the weights and laugh deeply.
