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.

44 poems divided into 4 cycles, portraying our human attempts to influence and potentially control life’s course, our desire, and our pain. Poems travel in both ancient and modern worlds, from antiquity till Covid times, from Lebanon to the whole planet; both collective and individual realms, including traditions, myths, wars, love, and transcendence.
