Khim

The khim (Thai: ขิม, Thai pronunciation: [kʰǐm]; Khmer: ឃឹម; Khum) is a hammered dulcimer from Thailand and Cambodia. It is made of wood and trapezoidal in shape, with brass strings that are laid across the instrument. There are 14 groups of strings on the khim, and each group has 3 strings. Overall, the khim has a total of 42 strings. It is played with two flexible bamboo sticks with soft leather at the tips to produce the soft tone. It is used as both a solo and ensemble instrument. Tuning this instrument is very easy but time consuming. The player inserts a type of wrench on the prongs that stick up from the sides, but only turns the prongs on the left side. Turning the prongs on the right side can cause the string to break. Then the player turns the wrench which tightens or loosens the string to the desired pitch. The internal parts of a khim are hollow chambers that are used for sound projection and there are decorated acoustic sound receivers on both sides of the khim. This instrument can be played by either sitting down on the floor with the khim place on the floor as well, or by sitting on a chair or standing while the khim is on a stand. The khim produces a bright and expressive sound when played.

    Love Calls

    by: Kem

    I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you tonight
    And all that you mean to me
    I used to think I would never fall in love again
    I guess I was wrong
    When your heart was broken
    When your wounded pride was laid to rest, baby
    You'll never open your heart to anyone else you said
    But you lied, I know you're lyin' tome
    You see your mind might be made up, mmm
    But your heart has got it's own plans
    There's no one to blame for false pride, tellin' lies,
    tryin' to hide
    From feelin' the pain, I know you don't wanna feel it
    There's nowhere to hide when the love is callin' your
    name, yeah
    From the dark, babe, nowhere to hide, baby
    There's nowhere to hide, so let love have it's way
    with your heart
    When love calls, love calls, love calls your name
    It's on my lips
    And I wish that you were still here
    To take me away with your kiss
    And take me away from all this crazy, crazy
    'Cause too many words have been spoken, mmm
    Too many lies have been told, baby
    You'll never do it again you told yourself over and
    over and over

    way, girl, with your heart, babe
    Love calls, love calls
    There's nowhere to hide, yeah, when love calls your
    name
