This song should be played all around the world in loud speakers. I think it captures what it means to be human, something that many of us have long forgotten..
Experimental music isnt mimicking its having inspirations flow through music. I like new wave for its lack of criticism, nothing more triggering to me then a space with critics
@@martiandesertboy Not trying to guess your age but as an 80s kid, I heard tons of criticism of new wave growing up 🤷♂️ That genre was definitely not exempt from it. The 90s rolled around and the general populous even seemed to mock it/outright dislike it for a time.
This music video Is what It is like to Live In London as a spiritual person who Is juggling too much In the City and burning out and all you need is Love, soft parts of Life with Nature and being at Peace with yourself
I am sitting here in the dark, smoking, listening to your poetry, feeling again after a long time... Thank you for this gift, and please keep doing what you are doing. 🖤
Hammer Musik ❤. Ich bin total geflasht! Speziell von diesem Lied. Melodie und Gesang verursachen bei mir einfach Gänsehaut. Könnte es in Dauerschleife hören 🥰.
Hello from NYC - Mona just played this on WFMU, I have never heard of Nabihah until fifteen minutes ago but this song sent me into s p a c e Can't find words but love this. Can't wait for the album ☺️✨🪩🖤🖤🖤
yes 🤘😄🤘 I've also heard Nabihah Iqbal on #bbcradio6music 📻 Loved her stand in for Tom Ravenscroft Friday #6music show recently. This song 'This World Couldn’t See Us' is astonishing. So happy that it is on #BBC6music B-List #playlist massive rotation ▶
These beautiful lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia, love, and profound connection. They depict a time of enchantment and wonder when life felt like a dream, filled with emotions and shared secrets. The words paint vivid imagery of swollen rivers and eyes, symbolizing the intensity of emotions experienced. The verses explore themes of freedom, fate, and the willingness to give everything in return for love. The chorus, repeated thrice, emphasizes the unique bond shared between the two, one that the world couldn't understand or contain. It speaks of a love that transcends worldly constraints, a love that remains untouchable and beyond the grasp of external forces. The final verse delves into themes of life and death, illustrating a profound and perhaps transcendent connection between the two souls. It suggests a willingness to face even death if it means staying together, holding hands as they stand before the gates of destiny, ready to face whatever comes their way. Overall, the lyrics paint a captivating picture of a powerful and transformative love that defies the limits of this world, leaving a lasting impression on the reader or listener. The emotions conveyed in these verses leave a lingering sense of longing and a desire to experience such profound connection and love.
I'm currently listening to this for the second time on kcrw - freaks only. Makes my heart so happy. Truly resonates with me at this very moment. Thank you 🖤

This song really does have a magical quality to it. Nostalgic yet uplifting, Sentimental yet spontaneous. It's a breath of fresh air putting a smile on your face in the moment yet has the aura of taking you back to a simpler time. It just feels like an incredibly layered song and I'm glad to see others having a similar interpretation and reaction to it. Cheers friends
When all the summer flowers Were for you and me When life tasted sweet And fate was a friend When all my secrets Were yours to keep ))) great song, love the change of scenery in the video. from the city to the woods

I can't stop listening to this. Hear it on repeat for days. Gives me a lust for life and at the same time a pinch of melancholy. 🧡
So true
Just discovered it and it’s on repeat. 😉
Same!
Uau
Let's make a word more understood, what is value of us
this world couldn’t see us. this world couldn’t keep us.💔
A great song to be alone and get lost in.
Despite clearly being 80s new wave/alternative in style, this doesn’t feel like it is mimicking it. It feels authentic. And it is incredible.

Very talented lady... it was poetry.
One of the best songs I've heard recently..
This gives me nostalgia for something I didn't experience.
This gives me a feeling of nostalgia for something that never happened but should have, because that's what this is.

A wonderful song. I am vibing out as we speak. Well Done.

Spotify AI recommended this song. The only song so far that has been recommended by it that I have actually liked. Love the New Wave synth and bass!
Great 80s New Wave vibes🎹
Nabihah makes the synthesizer flow right into your veins✨
I feel like I committed a crime listening to this for free.
Greetings from Thessaloniki Greece αγαπητή Nabihah. You are special & CHRIST JESUS watching U. 😊
I adore everything about this and I am currently in love with this artiste.
I'm obsessed. This whole vibe. I'm here for it.
Beautiful Nab, delightful ` love

So 2010s I love it !
Crying everytime i listen
Flawless and irresistible.
Thanks, Nabihah.
Peter Hook basstastic 👌

Future classic

Lov this❤
Well good wee dance tune, love it
[Verse 1]
When two-fold silence was the song of love
When life lived in dreams and time fell like rain
When all the summer flowers were for you and me
When life tasted sweet and fate was a friend
When all my secrets were yours to keep
Stuck inside your beauty, falling in too deep
When gentle magic took me by surprise
When we felt everything standing side by side
Swollen river, swollen eyes
Swollen thighs, swollen pride
Spring tide pulls you up
From the outside inside
Give me everything and nothing all at once
Let your emptiness overflow
Into love's scarce field, ready to sow
[Chorus]
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us
[Verse 2]
"If death is freedom, then kill me now"
She said, as she took his hand
Standing side by side before the gates of horn and ivory
Before unforgiving destiny
Before fate that grants no mercy
You can have it all in return for everything
You can have it all in return for everything
You can have it all in return for everything

It's like sufism poem
Thanks!!

this is beyond a masterpiece, such a great poem into an amazing beat, looooove
This sound so much like The Wake, classic late 80s manchester band, which is no bad thing... 🙂
Yep! I hear that too, with a bit of Section 25 thrown in for good measure!
