The Blossom of Your Beauty Blooms in My Imagination - In Memory of the Late Emad Ram - 2003-05-28

The blossom of your beauty blooms in my imagination - In memory of the late Emad Ram - 2003-05-28. Emad Ram, a singer, flutist, and composer, a prominent figure in Iranian pop music, who began his career playing the flute in the Fine Arts Orchestra affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and Art, passed away far from his homeland in Germany. The impact of his work continues in Iranian pop music. Memorable songs by Emad Ram, such as 'My Spring Has Passed Perhaps,' are remembered and occasionally hummed by every lover of contemporary Iranian music. He originally sang this song with his unique, tired voice; later, as Iranian pop music flourished thanks to artists like Vigen, Aref, Sima Bina, Simin Ghanem, Emad Ram, and Aghili, this song was reinterpreted by Setar. Emad's song 'Loneliness,' which began with the lyrics: 'In this world, I have become alone, a plant in the heart of the desert,' was performed in the 1960s by the famous group 'Ajoubeh-ha' with Jamshid Alimorad singing, and its beauty and authenticity can still be felt nearly 40 years later. Indeed, the beauty of Emad Ram's lyrics and songs has preserved its freshness and originality even after many years. In a short song, Emad Ram sings in a film by Jalal Moghadam: 'Every door opens to exile, a person becomes alone here, the cries become silent.' This exile and the silence of the cries were also the fate of Emad Ram and the story of his death in exile. Emad Ram will be buried on Friday, May 30, among a group of his friends. May his memory live on and his soul rest in peace.
