Dust Is My Bed
Dust in my bed is a video directed by Alhamad in which he essays the one journey everybody makes – death. I had goose bumps all over me watching this. Its funny, we take life for granted without realising that all of us will have to go one day leaving behind our family, friends, the wealth we’ve earned, the relationships we’ve built, etc. I like what Steve Jobs had to say about death -
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose
The song beautifully rendered by Mashary is soul stirring. The video is available on YouTube or as a download.

Amazing lyrics leaves you speechless and small. BTW Adel why dont you dedicate a page for showcasing such videos and teachings that are so neutral and positive in nature. … Loom forward to more such content

I was in tears when i saw and heard the song. I am speechless, I did not understand arabic, but the sincerity of the poet and the singer was what tuched me and than reading the subtitles i knew why i was crying. all I can say is it is a master pice.
It also shook me to realize what am I doing and what for.
