So peaceful Souvenir. A brother singing ancient Andalusian song in Al-hambra palace.
Unmute
The right amount of melancholy
This is one of my most favorite Andalusian muwashshahat (an Arabic poem that’s specifically written to be sung). It was written in the 3rd century by an Arab poet from Granada, so it’s not very far fetched that the song has been sung at some point in that very palace centuries ago.
These are the lyrics in Arabic and English, in case anyone’s interested.
When he appeared with a sway in his walk My darling infatuated me with his beauty Oh, my fate and my confusion Who will have mercy when I complain Of anguish in love Except for the holder of beauty?
لما بدا يتثنى حبي جماله فتننا وعدي و يا حيرتي من لي رحيم شكوتي فى الحب من لوعتي إلا مليك الجمال
Of course she’s talking about Sam. She only changed to six years after the original statement of she was introduced to Maestro in 2016 didn’t match a picture that was found to show Cait, Maestro, Donal and another person pre-2016. -THAT is what I mean about writing the script!!!
But casual fans don’t know about things like that or pay attention to constant conflicts in statements based on evidence and timeline that core online fans know by heart. People believe what they read and they often only read headlines if they are casual fans.
PAs can be provided by your management team or you can hire your own ( (either way celeb pays unless you negotiate that into your contract). Many celebs hire long time friends as a PA because they need someone they trust to both fulfill the job and keep their secrets, especially early in career. The list of celebs who have hired friends or family is quite long*. There’s a picture from when Money Monster went to Cannes of Cait, Maestro, her co-star and his PA (a childhood friend).
*Drake, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lawrence, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Alicia Keyes, etc. etc.
