A Song for my Daughter. - Written, Performed, Recorded, and Produced By Scott A. Gradert - When You Try So Hard (Lyrics) - When you try so hard And no answers come with no regard and so much is left undone - you travel so far just wanna go home they know you're the star but you're left alone - played by the rules nobody's fool I never knew it would be this hard - all the best schools the best books to choose I never knew I would work so hard - I just wanna job live in a nice house but I work like a dog and I don't wanna grouse - you can play a fair game live by the rules but it's just not the same when after all you can loose - played by the rules nobody's fool I never knew it would be this hard - all the best schools the best books to choose I never knew I would work so hard - so where do I go what do I do just wanna be with you - so where do I go what do I do just wanna be with you just wanna be with you - I just wanna be with you - (C) 2026 Scott A.

Salât-ı Ümmiyye is a type of prayer (salawat) in Islamic tradition, recited to express love, respect, and devotion to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). - Arabic Pronunciation: Allâhümme salli alâ seyyidinâ Muhammedin-nebiyyi'l-ümmiyyi ve alâ âlihî ve sahbihî ve sellim. - English Meaning: "O Allah! Bestow mercy upon our master Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and his companions, and grant them peace." - This prayer holds a significant place in Islamic culture, particularly in congregational music and recitations during Mawlid (celebrations of the Prophet's birth). ---- The composer of the Salât-ı Ümmiyye is widely recognized as Buhûrîzâde Mustafa Itrî Efendi, one of the most prominent figures in classical Turkish music. - His composition of this piece in the Segâh maqam is considered a masterpiece of Turkish religious music. It remains a significant part of the cultural and spiritual heritage from the Ottoman era to the present day, celebrated for both its aesthetic beauty and profound spiritual depth. ---- Artist/Project: The work is released under the artist name UFCEBABA, spearheaded by Ufuk Çelik. ---- While the original piece carries deep historical and spiritual roots that I hold in high regard, this version is my contemporary interpretation ; my way of honoring the tradition while bringing my own voice and arrangement to it. - I hope listeners can feel both the reverence for the original and the fresh energy of a modern reimagining. more
