You fight just for the sake of it
You know what hurts the most
You might have once been faking it
But now it cuts too close

Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after

We should have stopped it long ago
When there was love still
But we would give in to ego
And never stop until

Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after

I know, you know
Winning the war
Is not winning at all
I know, you know
Winning the war
Is not winning at all

Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after

The day the music died: Afghanistan's all-female orchestra falls silent
Negin Khpalwak was sitting at her home in Kabul when she got word that the Taliban had reached the outskirts of the capital.

The 24-year old conductor, once the face of Afghanistan’s renowned all-female orchestra, immediately began to panic.
The last time the Islamist militants were in power, they banned music, and women were not allowed to work. In the final months of their insurgency, they carried out targeted attacks on those they said had betrayed their vision of Islamic rule.
Dashing around the room, Khpalwak grabbed a robe to cover her bare arms and hid away a small set of decorative drums. Then she gathered up photographs and press clippings of her famed musical performances, put them in a pile, and burnt them.
“I felt so awful, it felt like that whole memory of my life was turned into ashes,” said Khpalwak, who fled to the United States — one of tens of thousands who escaped abroad after the Taliban’s lightning-quick conquest of Afghanistan.
The story of the orchestra in the days following the Taliban’s victory, which Reuters has pieced together through interviews with members of Khpalwak’s music school, encapsulates the sense of shock felt by young Afghans like Khpalwak, particularly women.
The orchestra, called Zohra after the Persian goddess of music, was mainly made up of girls and women from a Kabul orphanage age between 13 and 20.
Khpalwak is too young to fully remember life under the Taliban’s previous rule, but arriving in the capital as a young girl to attend school sticks out in her memory.
“All I saw was ruins, downed houses, holes in bullet-ridden walls. That’s what I remember. And that’s the image that comes to mind now when I hear the name of the Taliban,” she said.
In the music school, she found solace, and among her Zohra orchestra bandmates “girls closer than family.”
“There wasn’t a single day that was bad there, because there was always music, it was full of color and beautiful voices. But now there is silence.
Nothing is happening there.”
