Sometimes Bambi lives on a different planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has not watched a single movie on TV or on Netfli<\/em>x since the start of the pandemic. Plus, God knows how far behind she was before the coronavirus times… OK except when working, while watching a few movies, on the airplanes during her last trip overseas, just before the first lock down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is she more up-to-date on music then? Not really, but sometimes listening to the radio helps. Sometimes YouTube<\/em> brings great artists to her attention, right in front of her eyes. Indeed, this is how Bambi discovered Mr. Mike Massy… after 10 long years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, who is Mr. Mike Massy, for those of you who do not know him? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a 39-year-old internationally known Lebanese singer, songwriter, performer, composer, arranger, pianist, and actor (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Massy<\/a>). He sings in several languages. Today, Bambi had the chance to listen to an interview he gave to her preferred internet radio station. He impressed her with his eloquence in Arabic (and mastery of other languages), wisdom, modesty, professionalism, and inspiring attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This being said, Bambi would like to share a few of Mr. Massy’s songs (he has so many!). She would like to begin with his adaptation of an Arabic Christmas Carol that Bambi used to sing in school. Same for her sisters and all the kids growing up in war. The phrase that used to move her heart, year after year (for 17 years) is in bold\/underlined below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On the night of Christmas … Hatred vanish<\/em>es
On the night of Christmas … The earth blooms<\/em>
On the night of Christmas … War stops<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
On the night of Christmas … Love<\/strong> is born<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. When we offer a glass of water to a thirsty person, we are in Christmas<\/em>
When we clothe a naked person with a gown of love, we are in Christmas<\/em>
When we wipe the tears from weeping eyes, we are in Christmas<\/em>
When we cushion a hopeless heart with love, we are in Christmas<\/em>
2. When I kiss a friend without hypocrisy, I am in Christmas<\/em>
When the spirit of revenge dies in me, I am in Christmas<\/em>
When hardness is gone from my heart, I am in Christmas<\/em>
When my soul melts in the being of God, I am in Christmas<\/em>“

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
