In times where disagreements on social and political issues strain our long-standing connections, we must prioritize unity. Instead of dwelling on our differences, let's focus on what brings us together. By letting love and understanding prevail over anger and resentment, we can mend the rifts in our relationships.

Unity is not a luxury; it's a crucial and immediate necessity.

One of these days, you too will know
Your mind will lose it, your fuse will blow
Kicking underneath everything you've built
You will watch everything tilt.

(Based on a true story—and countless others.)

"Khaatere," meaning "Memory" in English, vividly portrays the challenges faced by Iranian youth during the tumultuous 80s and 90s, and continues to resonate today. This song reflects the collective experiences of my generation, deeply rooted in the struggles of that era.

One of these days, you too will know
Your mind will lose it, your fuse will blow
Kicking underneath everything you've built
You will watch everything tilt.

About Melode

I’m Melody Safavi, also known as “Melode” – a lyricist and co-founder of the Persian-Swedish band ABJEEZ. We’re known for our unique blend of humor and rebellion, infusing Iranian soul with reggae, rock, ska, and flamenco vibes. ABJEEZ has been pioneering as the first female-led Persian-speaking Reggae/Ska band, fearlessly tackling taboo topics across Europe and North America.

Beyond music, I am a multifaceted artist – a lyricist, video editor, and visionary storyteller. My journey spans continents, bridging cultures through the universal language of words and music. From experiences of displacement to artistic expression, I am committed to justice and equality.

As the force behind my solo project, MELODE, I use music to amplify women’s voices and redefine empowerment. With over sixteen years of experience in media and communication, I’ve explored roles in video journalism, TV production, and artistic endeavors.
