Listen to ‘Back for a Day’

‘Back for a Day’ is our protagonists ‘I want’ song.

At night, Sayyida walks through a quiet Moroccan town and hears a familiar tune. She sings about wanting to return to Granada for just one day. As the song builds, she climbs a lighthouse, holding her astrolabe, and vows to find her way back. Spanish ships block her view, but she ends the song with renewed determination.
