Скачать или смотреть Subat - “Closer” (Live Performance)

Live rendition of my song “Closer,” recorded after hours at Maydan Market in West Adams. Though unidentifiable in the video, next to me are my paternal grandmother’s prayer rug, a large lapis rock my maternal grandmother brought back from Afghanistan, a bottle of olive oil from my dear friend Sami’s family farm in Palestine, and a few other sacred items.

“Closer” is about opening a channel to our ancestors—summoning them for comfort, to make sense of the madness, for peace both within and in the world, and perhaps as a way for them to hear and answer my prayers that we all learn to love one another.
