This song is gorgeous, both the lyrics and the singer's voice.
My husband and I were talking about the meaning of the song the other night.
We talked about how the world Shiola was similar to the Inshallah.
Then he remembered this word Sheol. It is a Hebrew word that means grave, pit or abode of the dead. The pronunciation isn't the same as Shiola, but it is interesting in terms of it's meaning and the song's lyrics.

In any event, this song never fails to start conversations, it's brilliant!
