- Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse is a grunge artist from the north of Italy, right under the Alps. Inspired by both bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Bikini Kill and his local/national folklore (plus an healthy obsession with history), he makes music that tries to be aggressive and political yet traditional as well. He has one EP out and an album coming soon.
It’s a song dedicated to tatreez, the history it carries, and its general beauty. Inspired by watching the documentary ”Stitching Palestine”, which contains the stories of twelve different women, including Leila Khaleed, and their relationship with tatreez.
Song Title: Star of Bethlehem
Star of Bethlehem – Betelgeuse
The star of Bethlehem shines bright in the night
Burns bright in my mind
Shines bright on the fabric
Of the dress that carries through everything.
Black fabric as the backdrop of beauty,
History I can touch on my fingertips,
Cypress trees on the hills,
All these wonderful things,
You’ll never erase…
Passed down from ages,
Mother from daughter to
daughter to
daughter
ooohooh.
Red, white, black, green
thread
One stitch,
One stitch,
One last stitch,
Sewed on through the years.
Jaffa,
and Haifa,
and Akka
and Gaza
The symbols they change
Colours they stay.
The star of Bethlehem shines bright in the night
Burns bright in my mind
Shines bright on the fabric
Of the dress that carries through everything.
Jaffa,
and Haifa,
and Akka
and Gaza
The symbols they change
Colours they stay
Red, white, black, green
thread
One stitch,
One stitch,
One last stitch,
Sewed on through the years.
The star of Bethlehem…
You’ll never erase!
