sweet bombs sweet pain [download]
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Michael Brook - Sweet Pain (Joi remix)
VS
Faithless - Bombs

released: July 2007

this is a very different mashup
the whole story started in January
when I first heard the Faithless song in Zebra’s radioshow
I felt in love with it at the first listen
but I had no idea what it was or who played it
(it was the amazing Benny Benassi remix btw)
I was not able to get the lyrics out of my head

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain

I thought I have to make a mashup with some serious message
so I decided to use the joi remix of the heart twisting sweet pain
because of the lack of the good quality pella
I decided to hold back the 100% ready track
and time by time I looked for better quality pellas
and as it always happens I totally forgot about the whole thing
shame on me I know

but one day something changed
I decided to give an another try for the pella search
and the rest is history
here is the sweet bombs sweet  pain

the picture of the cover was found in the Justice for Lebanon blog
and it is the works of Mazen Kerbaj

let me tell you one thing
usually I dont get involved with politics and stuff
but this is about not politics, it is about our future
the war and the bombs are bad
they do harm in every side, everywhere
we all must think about it before it gets too late

We think we’re heroes, we think we’re kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become
