Shared on Ali\u2019s YouTube channel, the song description reads, \u201cIs reality [really] what it seems? [Is there] any truth to our dreams? Awaken and embrace the mask behind the face. Question everything you see; we are far more than we believe. Introducing, AZX \u2013 the revolution begins!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The music video offers a dream world and a post-apocalyptic world. It shows both Ali and Danyal navigating through love and loss, coming to terms with another reality while being consumed by the emptiness around them. They find their lovers, only to watch a solar eclipse together. There isn\u2019t any talking, just silence and contemplation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/2-(2)1676620838-0\/2-(2)1676620838-0.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The track offers a calm of sorts, after the chaos, a story and a feeling. It\u2019s not very impressive as a song, and lyrically, it\u2019s not very verbose either. But the visual presentation, combined with the peace evoked through the audio, makes for a track you\u2019d hear every once in a while on a starry night in the memory of someone. And it certainly marks the first of hopefully many Ali and Danyal collaborations.<\/p>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Ni12Hab98c\">\n<div><iframe tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Ni12Hab98c?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a first, Ali Zafar and Danyal Zafar have come out with a song together and it\u2019s presented in the most unique fashion.
