Tracklist + Liner Notes

Shadowless

What do you see?
Tell me what do you taste?
Tell me what do you hear
when I whisper your name?
You see through my eyes
and turned me away
In madness you’d spiral
if I did the same

Oh my love I’m waiting
Oh my love I’m calling
Oh my love I’m yearning
I shine but you’re

Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless no you don’t see me
Shadowless bright as I can be
Shadowless no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless

Memories you took
like grapes off the vine
In citrus, in sweetness
with you all the time
You tasted my love
and turned me away
Your tears would make oceans
if I did the same

Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless no you don’t see me
Shadowless bright as I can be
Shadowless no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re

Shadowless
Shadowless
Shadowless
I shine but you’re
Shadowless
Shadowless
Shadowless
I shine but you’re

(I know) you think you don’t see me
(I know) you think you don’t hear me,
(Tell me) If you ever need me
Know that my love is
Limitless, Boundless, Waiting there for you
(I know) you think you don’t see me
(I know) you think you don’t hear me,
(Tell me) If you ever need me
Know that my love is
Limitless, Boundless, Waiting there for you

Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless no you don’t see me
Shadowless bright as I can be
Shadowless no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re

Wanderer

In my mind
Foreign lands
Followed lines
On my hands
Tasted earth
Touched the skies
Swam the pools
Of my eyes

People talked
In their fear
Rumours always
Whispered here
Where and why,
From what shore
Who was I
Searching for

You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover

Pushed and pulled
Through these worlds
Winding roads
I crossed & curled
Pain & love
Hope & fear
In between
All unclear

Drunk on time,
Spin my thoughts
States of mind
Turning doors
Ask me now
Who I am
Turn your back
Take my hand

You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover

There’s a fire calling me
Burning me
Leading me
Into ecstasy

You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover

[Round round round round round round round round]
8

We go ‘round in a figure 8
Touched you once but I could not stay
Magnetised I go ‘round again
Cross your path then I’m torn away

La Nihaya
La Nihaya
You said remember me
And I’ll remember you
La Nihaya
La Nihaya
You said come back for me
And I’ll come back for you

I keep on aching
knowing you’re waiting
In an endless love
there’s just no end of
I’ll keep on chasing
Figure eighting
In an endless love
There is no end of

La Nihaya
La Nihaya
La Nihaya

We go ’round in a figure 8
Two lines play in a circle game
Infinite I go ‘round again
A union that I cannot break

La Nihaya
La Nihaya
You said remember me
And I’ll remember you
La Nihaya
La Nihaya
You said come back for me
And I’ll come back for you
Call My Name

Remember the time
when you and I were all alone
When we were so shy
now it feels so long ago
Whispered my name
soft as the falling snow
Close in my arms
promised I’d never let go

There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running

Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours

Remember the time
when everything moved so slow
As if that one night
was all that we’d ever know
I’m still there waiting
hoping your voice will show

(Cos) wherever you are
that is where I call home

There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running

Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours

I’m right here
Beside you
I know you can’t see
Beloved
I’m waiting
For you to remember me
Crazy

Staring at full moons
Lost in the mazes
Following footprints
Leaving no traces
Talking to myself
Words with no meaning
Walking through real life
Thinking I’m dreaming

Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders

You made me you made me
You made me crazy
You made me you made me
Lose my mind
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
Ever since you let me
Drink from your wine

Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh

(So) fill up my cup one more time
Fill up my cup one more time

Stared in the sunlight
Only the one time
A moment of madness
Lasting a lifetime

Now I’m hearing noises
Taking me places
People and voices
All of them nameless

Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders
Grounded

When my head is down
And my wounds go deep
I could still go on
If you’re there for me

Losing the crown
Would only keep me grounded
I know the fall
Could only keep me humble
Losing it all
Would only leave me grateful
I could take it
I would not break
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me

In a life before
Many years were bleak
But the highs were born
From the lows I’ve seen

Losing the crown
Would only keep me grounded
I know the fall
Could only keep me humble
Losing it all
Would only leave me grateful
I could take it
I would not break
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me
If you’re there for me
My gravity

So come on keep me grounded
Keep me on my toes
When I’m losing my head
Keep me grounded
Come on keep me humble
Let me lose control
As long as you’re there with me
I could free fall,

Losing the crown
Would only keep me grounded
I know the fall
Could only keep me humble
Losing it all
Would only leave me grateful

I could take it
I would not break
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me

If you’re there for me

Album Description

This exciting new release, SAMi, is a side project by this prolific artist that grew out of his desire to explore his British musical roots. The sound is contemporary and minimalist; the lyrics shine a light on the path that Sami has traveled on his own spiritual journey.

It’s a side of the musician that is fully developed here for the first time. The songs are direct; they are personal. And they are about transcendence—about seeing the big picture and where we fit in.

SAMi is an evolutionary album from this well-loved musician, one that brings us face to face with a mature Sami Yusuf and reflects the increasing metaphysical depth of his artistic expression.
