My beautiful people!!! Let me clarify one thing to you…

“On My Mind” and “A Musical Blast From The Past” are two completely different features. The latter has to be an amazing old dusty song that you guys have forgotten and its our duty at Funkypharaoh.com to remind you of it…But this feature here, “On My Mind” is your direct route to my brain and mind and how it gets switched by certain people, places and events to think of a particular song! It could be old or new…This week I had a very cool, sweet and truly lovely inspiration so as you know…

It is time for “On My Mind” or (على بالي)…

Amr Diab - “Elli Bainy w Bainak”

Do you remember this song?

Do you even remember the controversy around this song??!!!

So the word has it that the song as written for and released by the young female singer Jannat first, and it was supposed to be one of her singles….Amr wanted it, she won’t give it to him, so he recorded his own version and released it to the public FOR FREE!!! The result?? One of the most sensational and heartfelt songs in Amr Diab’s career! PERIOD!!!!!

Songs of this type are now extremely rare because the lyrics and the melody are so Egyptian and so sensual…. They are sweet in a way we hardly see in songs these days….but this is mainly because relationships of this type of love and this type of passion don’t exist anymore!!!!

You might ask what brought the song to my mind? Well, to cut a long story short, a close person to my heart who I’ve been talking to constantly and non stop for the last 3 days has provoked a whole bunch of Egyptian emotions in my heart but this song came to it first…

I hope this person enjoys the post and the song and I hope you guys do too :)

Hope you’ve enjoyed it my people…
