“Ney” means “reed” in Persian. But it also designates the flute made of reeds, symbolic of separation from home once they are cut from the rush bed. This is the meaning that the 13th century Sufi poet Rûmî conferred in his poem, harnessed here by Aïda and Ruşan to evoke the pain of exile.

lyrics

Aïda Nosrat :
O’ listen to the grievances of the reed : “Of what divisive separations breed
From the reedbed cut away just like a weed
My music people curse, warn and heed
Sliced to pieces my bosom and heart bleed
While I tell this tale of desire and need”

Ruşan Filiztek :
Daddy come save me from this sadness
I'm so intoxicated I can't tell how intoxicated I am

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel?

Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls.
