Hello Everybody
I got this email today and I want to share it with you all:
Dear Red Sea Rangers staff,

As a grateful Dahab tourist, I'd like to offer my condolences for the
tragedy that struck your community in April.

As a songwriter who performs for human rights causes, I recently
produced the song, "Dahab" for some of my friends there for emotional
support. I'd like to give this to you to remind you how many of us around
the world have you in our thoughts and prayers as Dahab recovers.

The gold of Dahab is the gold of peaceful coexistence among our gracious
Egyptian hosts and travelers from all nations. May this be the truth that Dahab
is known for after your community overcomes the tragedy and bad press. The
terrorist cowards can kill a few innocent people. But they can't kill the spirit of
Dahab, because the spirit of cooperative peace in paradise resides in all our
dreams for a better world. In other words,

Never give up!

You can freely stream the song at my website, www.TimeForRevolution.com
and here is a free download link:

Feel free to send the mp3 file around for the non-commercial, personal use
of others as you please.

Below is the lyric and one of the nice responses I've received from Dahab
that gave me the idea to give this away to others. Your feedback is welcome
and you can always e-mail me for the file if there are any download
problems.

I actually composed most of this after my first visit to Egypt way back in 1991
(when I slept in a hut in Dahab.) Yet I just added the last verse for the situation
and produced it last week.

Some songs take forever to finish. ;o)

Best Wishes,

Bruce Anderson

PS I'm a pianist and Dahab is smooth jazz that sounds like a promo
for the resort.

Dahab Lyrics and Music
by Bruce Anderson
2006

Egyptian fantasy in a lullaby,
Away from Cairo's streets and prying eyes,
The Sinai meets the sea where my mind swims free,
The rolling trees and ocean,
Gathering my heart's devotion,

The Bedouin children colors that laugh and sing,
The bracelets that they sell,
The joy they bring,
It tempts me just to throw away everything,
And hearken to a simpler life,
And leave behind my strain and strife,

Refrain:

Dahab I know you've captured me,
Life on the rocks in the cool Red Sea,
Dahab the place where I could be,
The place that pulls me under,
2X
-
Israeli beauties strolling along the shore,
Israeli boys whose charms they can't ignore,
The romance floods the restaurants out on the beach,
Amidst the ambience and laughter,
I found the one true love I'm after,

So when there's darkness coming to drag you down,
When there's no hope with sadness all around,
Remember Dahab then and you'll break a smile,
Let love and peace along the ocean,
Restore in you a new emotion,

Refrain:

Dahab...
