from our golden night
از شب طلاییمان بیدار کرد.
You are alive
Afterneath
that they're not really depressing at all.
که آنها اصلا هم غمگین نیستند.
important songs we have.
مهمترین آهنگهایی هستند که داریم.
I just never tire of hearing
که هرگز از شنیدنشان
part of being human
انسان بودن حرف میزنند
where it lingers and rots.
گوش دادن به این آهنگها --
these hard emotions,
این عواطف سخت را دوباره حس کنیم،
that we're not alone in darkness.
گوش میدهیم، که ما در تاریکی تنها نیستیم.
known as "mono no aware,"
که میگوید «مونو نو اور،»
as "the bittersweet poignancy of things,"
«زنندگی تلخ و شیرین چیزها،»
یا «آه برآورندگی» چیزها.
sadness as things pass by in life,
اندوه گذران عبور از کنار چیزها در زندگی،
softly lingering sadness
in lots of life stories and moments
در بسیاری از داستانهای زندگی و لحظهها
is the celebration of the cherry blossom.
جشن شکوفه گیلاس است.

on the gentlest breeze --
more beautiful.
من یک مرد گیلاسی هستم،
than this, and --
با من صحبت نمیکند، و --
of my songwriting for years,
جوهر ترانهسرایی من بوده است،
in music, in song --
در ترانه بدل شود --
in poetry and painting,
none of us alone in darkness.
ما هیچکداممان به تنهایی نیستیم.
that I call "Killing Me,"
که اسمش را «مرا میکشد» گذاشتم،
I've been talking about.
from the perspective of somebody else,

بدون پدربزرگم ادامه میدهد،
new things in her life --
her soul mate.
از دست داده است.
would you wake up today?
how I've grown in this place
When the winter comes to stay
وقتی زمستان میآيد که بماند
all the words I never said
کلماتی که هرگز نگفتم را بگیرم
That you're not here with me
The wonders I can see
شگفتیهایی که میبینم را
and time rushes away
و زمان به سرعت میگذرد
نشانت بدهم زیاد است
like we did when we were young
when we were young
that you're not here with me
دارد مرا میکشد
The wonders I can see
The wonders I can see
چه شگفتیهایی میتوانم ببینم
The wonders I can see
چه شگفتیهایی میتوانم ببینم

Why you should listen
Luke Sital-Singh is an internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter from the UK. In 2012 he released his debut single "Fail For You," which first introduced to the world his deft ability to craft songs with a mesmerizing piercing emotional quality. The song went on to be featured in numerous TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy. At the end of 2013, Sital-Singh was featured in the BBC's Sound of 2014 list and signed to Parlophone records, who released his debut record The Fire Inside later that year.
After a couple of years touring the world and opening for artist such as Villagers, The Staves, Martha Wainwright and Kodaline, in 2017 Sital-Singh released his sophomore record Time Is A Riddle, which featured the stand out song "Killing Me." His songs are rich and somber and have the tendency to stop you in your tracks. Of his songwriting, Sital-Singh says: "I like writing about the heavy things. There’s a lot of shallow stuff out there and that’s fine for certain contexts. My fun is diving as deep as I can. Inside myself and, if I can, inside others and writing songs that are as honest as I can make them. Honest to the struggles we all face, the sadness but more importantly, the hope."
