about

Seattle-born Arab-American folk rocker Yusif returns with “COUNT ON ME,” his first release since relocating to Kuwait. An active YouTuber, Yusif toured the US several times from 2011 to 2016 and released an album, receiving support from Blurt Magazine & Huff Post, who said it was, “Written from the viewpoint of someone actually affected by war.” With “COUNT ON ME” Yusif swaps pop-rock vibes for an acoustic-driven folk sound that still rocks, with huge organs, guitars, and distinctive vocals.

lyrics

You can count on me to be the one you need
Take it from a man who knows
The color of your skies, the ocean in your eyes
The beauty of a thing that grows
Flowers in your hair, the scarves you always wear
The way you try to catch the snow
Your color and your flair, your rose-red underwear
The way you try to tell me, "no"
See you can count on me to be the one you need
Take it from a man who knows

You can count on me, oh you can count on me
Count on me, you know you can count on me

Now take it from a man who loves you like you are
Take it from a man like me
Whenever I'm around, whenever you feel down
Know that you can count on me

And you can count on me, oh you can count on me
Count on me, you know you can count on me

Now take it all away, I love you like you are
Take it from a man like me
Take it from the man who's playing this guitar
And give him half a chance to see
The power in your smile, the way you kiss me I'll
Be lucky just to get a word
You had me at hello, I love you was an,
"Oh I can't believe what I just heard"

And you can count on me, oh you count on me
If you count on me, you know you can count on me
If you count on me, oh you can count on me
Just count on me, you know you can count on me
