[Original Broadway Cast of The Band’s Visit, Tony Shalhoub, Katrina Lenk - Something Different lyrics]
Is this a hymn? Is this a love song?
Something ancient by a poet
Maybe Hafiz, maybe Rumi?
Is he singing about two hearts
Searching in the darkness?
Or is he singing about fishing?
The tune seems sad, but are the words sad?
What's he saying? Is he praying?
And why does it get to me?
Is he lonely? Maybe reaching out for someone?
Look at me maybe I'm the one who's fishing
Every day you stare to the west, to the south
You can see for miles
But things never change
Then honey in your ears, spice in your mouth
Nothing's as surprising as the
Taste of something strange
And here's this man right here beside me
Kind of deep and kind of cute
In his Sargeant Pepper suit
Is this my sheikh? Is this my Omar Sharif?
Well, I know it's something different
Itgara'a
Who is this man right here beside me?
Closer by an inch or two
My cheek would touch his ear
What is he thinking? What does he wish for?
Is he singing about wishing?
Something new I've never seen before
Through these walls I build
These gates I protect
Something new I didn't notice
I was hoping for
Nothing is as beautiful as something
That you don't expect
Look at those hands
Those are not young hands
But they move like they are
Swimming through the music through the music
And I don't know what I feel
And I don't know what I know
All I know is I feel something different
Itgara'a
He makes me feel something different
Something ancient by a poet
Maybe Hafiz, maybe Rumi?
Is he singing about two hearts
Searching in the darkness?
Or is he singing about fishing?
The tune seems sad, but are the words sad?
What's he saying? Is he praying?
And why does it get to me?
Is he lonely? Maybe reaching out for someone?
Look at me maybe I'm the one who's fishing
Every day you stare to the west, to the south
You can see for miles
But things never change
Then honey in your ears, spice in your mouth
Nothing's as surprising as the
Taste of something strange
And here's this man right here beside me
Kind of deep and kind of cute
In his Sargeant Pepper suit
Is this my sheikh? Is this my Omar Sharif?
Well, I know it's something different
Itgara'a
Who is this man right here beside me?
Closer by an inch or two
My cheek would touch his ear
What is he thinking? What does he wish for?
Is he singing about wishing?
Something new I've never seen before
Through these walls I build
These gates I protect
Something new I didn't notice
I was hoping for
Nothing is as beautiful as something
That you don't expect
Look at those hands
Those are not young hands
But they move like they are
Swimming through the music through the music
And I don't know what I feel
And I don't know what I know
All I know is I feel something different
Itgara'a
He makes me feel something different
