The 16th of April 2009, the Lebanese Bassel Hajj Chehade and the Dutch Daniëlle Dürst Britt participated in the Leiden selection of the "Nootuitgang Student Singer-Songwriter Contest" with their song "You precious".
A song about the beauty of friendship, when you have lost your way. What would you be without inspiring and beloved friends around you?

"You precious"
Losing sight while all is fading / From black to bright, and back again / Whirling ache has brought me down
Oh, the madness of the reason / Its cutting edge will cut my soul / Spinning ’round I’ll hit the ground
Though you’re the precious in the dust of my life / ‘Cause you shine as touched by grace / I’ll never get to find the ways / To tell you what you mean to me
Still, there are storms that rage my life / And no one sees the darkness coming / I fight to stay out of the eye
Though you’re the precious in the dust of my life / ‘Cause you shine as touched by grace / I’ll never get to find the ways / To tell you what you mean to me
You precious / you precious..
Though you’re the precious in the dust of my life / ‘Cause you shine as touched by grace / I’ll never get to find the ways / To tell you what you mean to me
You precious..
