Song: Hawn
Artist: Nómi (Jhony Maalouf)
Hawn, a beautiful dreamy Lebanese acoustic folk song, is a discussion between a parent and their son. In the first verse, the parent is trying to understand why the son has decided to leave his country and immigrate. In the second verse, the son explains that the country he once knew became unrecognizable to his eyes. All this led the son to leave while keeping the beautiful images, and memories of loved ones well protected in his mind. "Hawn" is the first song of the forthcoming EP by Nóm.
