wild direction for my family's relationship with the ex turkish military guy to take, but apparently my dad offered to take him with us next month to my grandparents small town on the tip of appalachia after getting mildly irritated hearing him talk about how california was the greatest place in the world so much, and he accepted

its actually happening yall, ex turkish military guy's currently in our dining room before we leave eating leftover shabbat after my dad explains that this aint a turkish barbershop and it wont make him christian. also what the appalachian mountains are and that it used to be 100% the redneck stereotype ex turkish millitary guy imagines, but that he feels more recently that its getting gentrified by incoming woke liberals

we're driving the first leg. dad's explained how my grandparents neighbors have been giving them food and helping them take care of their house ever since grandma lost the ability to walk and bonded with the guy over racism against southeast asian immigrant dunkin donuts employees. the guy reminisces about a 90s turkish pop song with the lyric "everything but death is a lie"

@detondev We have done it!, honestly not sure what to make of it. The instrumentals are more creative than in typical pop-music (is it pop and does that matter?) and the vocals go along well with it (kind of unfortunate we do not understand it). But may need to have another listen on it, as it may not percolated into our soil really enough to be saturated (or in other words, get it).

@detondev Faithfully not sure what else to add other than, 'exactly!', as from second-hand and having a brain/mind (as it is obvious) that there are so much music that get missed because it is not in English, and that it shows that yer a real music freak.For us, we do honestly do not listen to much music, and admittingly only discover them through either recs on forums like these, or through randomly clicking through bandcamp accounts. Not like we get around listening to all of it.Also question: did you also send another public post on that other Turkish musician/vocalist you shared - cannot remember much actually, but may send again because i want to listen that it (hope you know what message we are referring to).

he started mocking the turkish pronunciation of some turkish singer, exaggerating his accent, and my brother knew the song and joined along anf now im listening to them ironically sing this song which according to them apparently includes lyrics lyrics like "do you fear god? why did you leave me by the side of the road? you planted the seeds of misery in my heart." (earlier they discussed how all turkish culture is extremely depressing)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQWmwR5f5lA

ESSENTIAL detail in all this i forgot to type: when this man facetimes his grandma, she thinks he's a 15 year old in the family with the same name. she addresses him as if he were that age and has complained abt an older relative with a military history who never calls and prolly doesnt care abt her
