Harsh Criticism from Javan on Shervin Hajipour’s Song ‘Close Your Eyes’
Javan wrote that in ‘Close Your Eyes’, Shervin Hajipour, with a completely instructive song, advises those in such a mental space to continue cheating on their life partner in secrecy instead of divorcing someone they don’t feel affection or attachment towards.
This hardline government newspaper continued, writing that along with this song, a photo was released showing a young woman with a sad and depressed face next to a young and smiling man holding their curly-haired son. The published image, along with the song’s content, suggests to the audience that the woman is the one who, despite having a husband and child, is having an illicit affair with another man as referenced in the lyrics. The singer, positioned as the sinister angle of this love triangle, asks the woman to hide her illicit relationship from her husband and even pretend to be interested in him.
