This is a song by a band called the books, I'll use this as my first post on raioo just because I really dont know what to write to begin with or to open up as.

You tell me what you think this song is about.

thanks.

This made me feel very nostalgic tonight. As much as I enjoy listening to Quran recitations of the greats from the Middle East, I have a very special love and admiration for the traditional Moroccan recitation. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
