Lebanese Singer Sa'd Ramadan 2012 Music Video



A tree House, boys with guns, men in boots, picnic between the trees, the world famous Lebanese ceder. He is number one and she is second to none as told by the badges. Clothier, Campfire, and dance floor, then he gives her a ring. This music video exists in vacuum, there are no families just groups of friends who do what they want.

I like Sa'd Ramadan, the romantic charmer of Lebanese pop. But in his latest music video he is trying to expand his market share by breaking into the happy and dance songs. It's a rich Lebanese song, but the music video while tells a good story and have good cinematography, it feels like an earlier music video by Fadel Shakir who has worn this hat in a music video too.

The music video is cliche followed by another cliche, it feels unoriginal and it feels sophomoric. The best part about the music video is the end, where Sa'd's voice comes out singing his most popular hit, a breakup song about a guy who cannot bear the distance.

Sa'd Ramadan - Nawilah / سعد رمضان - ناويله
