My First Live Performance

I've always loved music and Coptic hymns. I was lucky enough to be invited to perform 2 hymns with Ava Bavly Kids Choir here in Alexandria, a great choir really! The concert - وتعود الابتسامة - was for the benefit of children with cancer.

This was my first live performance.

The first hymn is a Coptic hymn "Arihouo Chasf" that means "Praise Him and exalt Him above all forever":
Studio-recorded version:



Live version:




The second hymn was "Thank You Lord" lyrics:


I would like to thank Mr George ElKess Samuel, the leader of the choir, as well as my dear friend Haidy Mikhail, who coaches the choir, for making this possible. I enjoyed performing along with you and your great team. I loved your spirit and I wish that all your concerts would be just as successful!

Mireille Mathieu & Patrick Duffy - Together We're Strong 1983

A great song I came across while I was listening to the radio.. I don't know how come I never listened to it before now! This is one of the most amazing lyrics I've listened to, it's real poetry not just a bunch of words forming a cool song. Their performance is also so amazing... Totally love it!

My favorite lines are "We're only one when we are two"..."I only know when we're apart, I only live with half a heart" ... but I do love every single word in it!


Mireille Mathieu & Patrick Duffy - Together We're Strong


A great man once said,
"Winter never fails to turn into Spring"
And though we are so different, you and I
When we're together, even the cold of December
Feels like the middle of May


You are the night, I am the day
You are the star that shows the way
You are the instrument I play
You are the words I long to say

You are the land, I am the sea
You are in counterpoint to me
And we agree to disagree
No need to lie

I only know when we're apart
I only live with half a heart
I need your hand to play my card

Together we're strong
We can't go wrong

And now we know just what to do
And how we get our meaning through
We're only one when we are two

Together we're strong
We can't go wrong

And every time your eyes meet mine
I feel the world fall into line
I'm passing on that good luck sign
Let's keep hanging on

And now we know just what to do
And how we get our meaning through
We're only one when we are two
Together we're strong

And I will always try to understand you
I'll be there if you should need me
Plan you in my life
There's so much we can share with each other
But if we say goodbye, it's not forever
I can't lose you now I've found you
I need you in my life
'Cause now you're in my life

And together we're strong
There are so many ways of looking at the world
Everyone has a different dream
Yours may not be the same as mine
But when we're together
We can make them all come true
