Love Is In Da Blog 2020 Day 20 : A love that hurts, a breakup or heartbreak & Prompt for Day 21

Hello out there, dear people of the blogosphere. How are you doing? I very much hope that life is treating you well and if not rest assured that my thoughts and prayers go out to you!

Today’s prompt might or might not be a sad one. Jim gave it to us and it is:

A love that hurts, a breakup or heartbreak. Thanks Jim!

Please head over to Jim’s blog A Unique Title For Me to stay and enjoy informative music posts.

Again I made my musical way outside the Western world music arena and stumbled over an artist who those who watched the Special Olympics in Abu Dabhi in 2019 might recognise. Her name is Assala Nasri. She was born in Syria but gained much success in Egypt, Bahrain her new home and all over the Middle East.

She was criticised on her stance over the Syrian Civil war: From the beginning, she was against Bashar Al Assad even though his father authorized her treatment for polio. She, however, is a humanitarian and wants the war ended to stop the suffering of the people of Syria.

The song I chose fits the prompt for heartbreak (I think…) as it tells the story of a woman who has fallen for an egotistic man even though she is a “classy” girl. I loved the video from the beginning even though it is not a particularly sad one, I find. But what’s better against heartache than to move your hips?????

Have fun with this beautiful video 🙂

As always, please follow the link underneath the video if it doesn’t play here on the blog.
