I Die Because of Your Absence
رامش - موندنم از موندنت / Ramesh—Moondam Az Moondanet (1995 / Persian Funk)
Hello internet pals of music. Today we’re thinking about human beings pointlessly suffering from men’s global games.
In the Sermons! vision of the ideal world, all global conflict is resolved through a Battle of the Bands.
Songs that express all of the joy and pain and love and humanity of a culture, in a poetry of words and notes that politics has always struggled to own.
Songs that don’t pierce flesh, burn homes, crush lives. The title of today’s post is from an internet translation of the lyrics—and while this song is about lost romantic love, maybe it could also substitute for the grief of losing anyone. I don’t know, my Farsi isn’t great or anything1.
SERMONS! is reader-supported. If you’re wishing to support our work, I encourage you to become a subscriber. Otherwise, we’ll all probably forget about this thing.
I guess, in conclusion, the Sermons! solution to world peace would kind of be like Eurovision—but in this utopia, much more jammable.

Let’s not pretend. I have zero comprehension of Farsi.
What a cool track and excellent, no nonsense, to the point post. Cheers for sharing this song!
