Eshgh Bazi (The Ways Cover) | Persian Music Cover | Me but 7 years ago
This is one of my old acoustic covers from seven years ago when I was in my hometown, Dargaz City (Iran). The song, Eshgh Bazi, is by the Iranian rock band The Ways. They originally formed in Mashhad, but later, their vocalist, Kaveh, left the band. Despite this, The Ways continued under the same name, while Kaveh pursued a solo career.
The song is filled with beautiful metaphors, making it poetic and deep in meaning. However, at its core, it revolves around love and making love. The way it expresses these emotions is artistic and symbolic, which adds to its charm and depth.
I hope you enjoy listening to this performance.
I should also mention that The Ways was one of the most influential bands of its time. When Iran had very few pop-rock artists, they emerged and quickly gained a strong reputation among the people. Their music even reached beyond Iran—I once heard from an Austrian friend that one of their songs was played on Austrian TV. (That song was called "Shal")
Kaveh was the lead singer and songwriter behind many of The Ways’ best songs. I believe the band was at its best when they were together, but after they split, it took a long time for Kaveh to regain his momentum. Lately, though, he has been creating some remarkable music.
He even managed to hold concerts at Milad Tower (In past Rock and Metal bands were not allowed to perform officially), which is a prestigious venue that not every artist has the opportunity to perform at. ( in any case I wish them all luck (band or Kaveh).
Wishing you all a great day and night!
peace & Love!

Hey dav, it feels good to always listen to your awesome sound of guitar and voice. This is a great post to admire
Thank you so much my friend, it means much to me 🙏😇
That sounds great. It's interesting to hear people sing in other languages as there will be different sounds. I've been listening to a BBC radio show (Add To Playlist) that features music from around the world. One I listened to recently had a song by Googoosh who I expect you know of. I know it can get called 'world music', but isn't that all music?
Thank you Steve :) I am glad you like it, I like the way you think about music, it is true, exactly, that music is a universal language that connects us from all around the world :). Googoosh is one of our pre-revolution Pop stars who was also an actress, and very famous among Iranians, sometimes I play some of her songs on guitar, it has beautiful melodies and good chord progressions, (Gharibeh Ashena and Do Panjereh)
I also like to share 2 of her songs from different decades:
This was on air on Iran's TV before the Islamic Revolution (1979)
and this one is one of her music videos from 2012:
I like the pre chorus and chorus melodies that she perform powerfully in this song:
though she has music in different genres, but I just liked to share these 2 songs with you :) hope you enjoy
