🆘 0098 SOS – Keeping the Line Open When Iran Goes Dark

0098 SOS - Keeping the Line Open

There are moments when making a song feels optional.

And moments when it feels inevitable.

0098 SOS was born out of one of those inevitable moments.

When the internet in Iran went dark again.

When phone lines were cut.

When images stopped loading, messages didn’t go through, and the world was quietly pushed away.

But silence does not mean absence.

Iran did not disappear.

Ninety million people did not vanish just because their connection was taken from them.

The title 0098 SOS carries a simple truth.

0098 is the country code for Iran.

SOS is a universal signal of distress.

Together, they say: this is Iran calling.

This song is not meant to explain politics, analyze power, or predict outcomes.

It exists for a simpler, more human reason: to keep the line open.

Musically, 0098 SOS moves between pressure and restraint - EDM and pop energy paired with space and breath. Linguistically, it moves between English, Farsi, and German, because no single language can hold this moment on its own.

English speaks to the world.

German states scale and truth without emotion.

Farsi speaks directly to the people.

At the heart of the track is a repeated chant:

می‌بینیمت

می‌شنویمت

We see you.

We hear you.

Not as a slogan.

As a promise.

A reminder that even under censorship, interference, and pressure, people are still seen, still heard, still present.

The song opens and closes with one guiding word: Hambastegi - solidarity.

Not as ideology.

Not as a banner.

But as human connection.

As the only way forward.

This release includes two versions of 0098 SOS and Azadi - My Four Seasons. It is offered free for a limited time, not as a marketing gesture, but as an act of sharing. Download it for yourself. Send it to someone else. Let it travel.

You don’t have to speak louder.

You don’t have to know what to say.

Sometimes, simply staying present is enough.

0098 SOS is not a protest anthem.

It is not a political statement.

It is a signal.

A held line.

A quiet refusal to look away.
