THAT VIDEO IS AMAZING. Good job, Z! As for the lyrics, I can't pry out anything too specific--I think it's a smidge above my pay grade, as well as drawing from dialect--but I can say that the visuals are directly gesturing to folk dance traditions as well as music video conventions throughout the region, and that the non-CGI kids are doing recognizeable folk dances. TINY TUTU-CLAD DABKE* DANCERS OMG.


*(Probably not dabke. Probably a related dance from Libya. Anyway.)
