This is the complete song collection of the music composed by the Palestinian surgeon and self-taught musician Doc Jazz.

You can also INVALID -- Facebook Badge END -- Because of their reliance on a unique combination of politically critical lyrics and catchy beats and melodies, some of these songs managed to penetrate into mainstream Dutch media, most markedly the song 'Balken van Ellende' - a satirical song about the Dutch prime minister - which ended up being used in a news quiz on national television, where two questions were asked about the song (see videos). He also played all instruments and vocals on all songs, except on the album (produced by the African American producer Forrest Thomas) and on the Dutch song 'Doe Maar Multicultureel'. In these songs, Doc Jazz collaborated with prominent professionals from the Dutch jazz and fusion scene. His music can be found in a wide variety of styles ranging from piano ballads to funky music with a groove and with a taste of Doc Jazz's characteristic rock guitar solos (and on 'Front Door Key' the mesmerizing saxophone solos of Susanne Alt) - in three languages:. A Palestinian short shepherd's flute called the is also often featured in the songs. One last note: don't assume the music of Doc Jazz is only political! If you scroll through the vast collection of songs, you will find many songs about other subjects of love, and of life!

Lyrics
You don't need a gun to be a hero All you need to have is a heart Reaching out to a child in Gaza's ground zero Is all it takes to set you apart Born in the misery of a refugee camp Without access to his medical needs But the heroes move in with their scalpels and clamps And brighten his life with their surgical deeds Healing Hands Are always in demand When racist occupation maims the children of a nation Somebody's gotta make a stand Make a difference today, you can brighten their day Send in the Healing Hands - Just look at that desperate situation Imagine if the child was yours Living in need of an urgent operation But barred from access to the necessary cures - Praise to the people who go out of their way To put a smile on a mother's face Wanna do the right thing, you can help them to bring Some relief to the children in these difficult days Gotta send in the Healing Hands Send in the Healing

PCRF surely deserves this credit, but YOUR Healing Hands heal the body and the soul both at the same time. Great job Doc. I love that Santana-like touch!
