Khoda Hafez
Learned only this evening from our friend Ruti (Jewish Iranian-born mom of Noam Shuster Eliasi) about Erfan Tahmasbi's song Khodahafez, that apparently became a kind of anthem of the popular uprising, as it could so easily be repurposed to express grief for victims of the regime.
I see it has been making the rounds on social media, especially a version, which shows a young woman singing it on the street, before being stopped by the police.
Here's the complete song: https://soundcloud.com/eienkei/melii_imm-ft-moteina-dar-2 or // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBl17fy_yg4
