She does not know about you, but Bambi’s day has been long and rewarding at many levels. However, it was also a day where she thought a lot about her late mom. At one point, she even felt a strangely strong urge to call her. Maybe she missed her so much that, for a few seconds, her brain forgot that there are no phones in heaven.
It is with the above thought in her mind that she checked her emails upon returning home tonight. To her surprise, along with her delight and honour, there was a personal email from Ms. Leila Milki in her Inbox sharing her new release. Yes, imagine, an email from this highly talented American artist of Lebanese heritage to whom Bambi dedicated several posts shared below. Wow!
For those of you who do not know her, Ms. Milki’s YouTube channel describes her as follows: “Leila Milki is a neoclassical-pop singer, songwriter, and pianist based in LA. She draws from her multicultural Lebanese-American roots to honor the nuanced beauty we find in the spaces between. Her Arabic/English fusions have earned her placements on Disney Jr, the FIFA World Cup, The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and Arab America’s “30 under 30″ awards…while her calming collection of solo-piano improvisations has garnered over 12 million streams and counting”.
To come back to Ms. Milki’s new release, it is dedicated to those we lost and how they remain with us “through our dreams and beyond“. For Bambi, this song feels like a spiritual gift that came to her unexpectedly on this day of both personal and collective remembrance. In turn, she offers this musical gift to her dad et al. as well as to the families of the victims of September 11, 2001. She also offers this soothing song to you, dear readers, to honour your own late loved ones. If she may, she will also dedicate it to the world’s innocent people who are trapped in the middle of armed conflicts or wars.
To conclude this post, Bambi thanks Ms. Milki for her inspiring talent and humanity, in addition to her thoughtfulness for Atlantic Canadian wild life :). She urges her to keep writing lyrics, composing music, and singing. Her angelic voice is much needed to make our world a more beautiful and peaceful place!
