shuffleSONGS :: Communication By The Cardigan

A beloved friend of mine, Miss Dayah has suggested me this song, 'Communication' by The Cardigan. I've heard it few times before but then forgotten it. When I delve into the meaning of this song, I found it really sweet. Communication isn't always easy, missed communication is is always bitter, but behind it,  there are always hidden hopes and dreams flowing slowly into love. Well as i can confidently say, many people avoid talking about love, as it sometimes seems too feminine to talk about, too vulnerable, too shaky, but dont you realised most of the greatest moment in this world comes from the theme of unconditional love - mother give birth to a child, country leader helps to risen the condition of the country for the people, teacher patiently teaches students until they could grow up and shine. All these are designed with the foundation of love.

As it is mentioned in the Quran, (An-Nisa' ; 1):

'O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah , through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. ' (An-Nisa; 1)


Hearing his song  and its relation to the Quraan verse reminds me of Prophet Adam, on how much he really hope for a person by his side to accompany him. How lonely it was to be the only man, he was suffering of loneliness and emptiness that no one of his kind to talk to. As Allah, Our Creator created Hawa (Eve), Adam was so happy for the gift. Later they were separated in Duniya(earth), longing to meet each other again. The song 'Communication' made me think that, if we, as a woman(vice versa) ever feel connected to a man, but he keeps on denying us as the person who was created from him, we just have to keep on praying that one day he shall realise and recognise who we are. As Allah mention in His Quraan,

'And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. ' (Ar-Ruum;21)


There are always differences between the man/woman that are created for us that separate from the others. WHich with them you feel strongly connected that how much you feel like avoiding or running away, he/she keeps coming back to you without no reason. Its like a gift, an unexpected miracle I could imagine. The beauty in Prophet Adam and Hawa(Eve)'s relationship is that, the connection that they feel towards each other are very strong, that he, Adam knows instinctly that Eve is the ideal woman, created to give him peace and tranquility in his life. So the 'Communication' in this song, isn't just about direct communication in which words and verbal components are involved. It is more of a soul connection that speaks to one another, calling, sensing and believing that both of you belongs to one another. This couldn't be reach if one of you keeps on denying, or not aware that the person in front of you has always be 'The One'. Time, surrounding and environment definitely plays its role in connecting partners that are meant for each other. It could be that you've met him once, but you didn't recognised, or you've talked to her few times but never realised, or simply, the time isn't the right for the greatest 'communication' to happen.
And one more thing to remember is that, the person who are created for us is who, from knowing him, it leads us to 'tranquility' as mentioned in the ayyat. Its not just anyone that keeps on creating problem by having doubts of you, but knowing each other naturally leads to a designed trust and loving environment out it.

So for all, keep on making duas and solah istekharah. May Allah leads us to the person our heart belong to, and granted happiness duniya wal akhirah inshaAllah. Ameen.




To be recognised by The One.

COMMUNICATION LYRIC
For 27 years I've been trying
To believe and confide in
Different people I found

Some of them got closer than others
And some wouldn't even bother
And then you came around

I didn't really know what to call you
You didn't know me at all
But I was happy to explain

I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through
The little holes in your veins
And I saw you

But that's not an invitation!
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you, but I don't know
How to connect
So I disconnect

You always seem to know where to find me
And I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye

I'll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you
Through the hole in the sky
Where I see you

And that's not an invitation!
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect
So I disconnect

Well, this is an invitation!
It's not a threat
If you want communication
That's what you get
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know

How to connect

And I hold
A record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation

I need you, you want me
But I don't know
How to connect
So I disconnect
I disconnect
