“Seedlings” by the Friends in Adelaide

April 2, 2024, in Music > Studio Session, by

Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Australia with the friends in Adelaide who sing “Seedlings” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Adelaide, Australia in December 2023. 

This song was composed by Joachim Kalapatsonis, Navid Nikooei, Adora Lady, Elvin Awan, and Allene Hamidi.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

O Lord!  Strengthen these fragile seedlings that each one may become a fruitful tree, verdant and flourishing.  Render these souls victorious through the potency of Thy celestial hosts, that they may be able to crush the forces of error and ignorance and to unfurl the standard of fellowship and guidance amidst the people; that they may, even as the reviving breaths of the spring, refresh and quicken the trees of human souls and like unto vernal showers make the meads of that region green and fertile.

Amazing! What an original song, communicated from the very beginning with the unique guitar intro. Determined and competent singers as well.
