Nasri (Arabic: نصري, IPA: [nasˤriː]) meaning support or victory is an Arabic male given name, which also appears as a surname. This surname is mostly found in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Pakistan and Tunisia.
Nasri Tony Atweh (born January 10, 1981), also known as Nasri, is a Canadian singer, songwriter and music producer, now based in Los Angeles. He was a solo singer with a number of singles before becoming the lead singer of the reggae fusion band Magic! (a band he created with Mark Pellizzer, Alex Tanas and Ben Spivak in 2012). Magic!'s single "Rude" became a major international hit for the band. Nasri Atweh is also a renowned songwriter and producer, one half of the songwriting and production duo The Messengers. He and Adam Messinger have a string of hits for well-known artists.
Nasri was born and raised in Toronto, a child of Palestinian immigrants, and began singing at the age of six. He studied at Senator O'Connor College School, and while attending, was part of the school choir as well as extra-curricular sports. He graduated in 1999. His yearbook ambition was to be "where the music lives". At 19, the Toronto native walked into his local radio station, with a demo in hand, eager to launch his career as an artist. He then landed a deal with Universal Canada and two successful singles as an R&B singer. In 2002, he won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest with a song he wrote with Adam Messinger.
Ohh Ohh Hey
How do I get close when she looks just like an angel?
A moment of her time just seems impossible to me
It's hard to find the words, to get to know this stranger
I'm scared of what she'll say, if what I say sounds incomplete
And it feels like we belong together
Can someone tell me where do I stop because
I can't keep on feeling the way I do
I can't keep on hiding my heart from you
I gotta say something before someone else comes through
I can't keep on loving you from a distance
She's always on my mind
There's no room left for thinking
I'm tired of waiting, slowly fading
Needs to happen now
'Cause I'm running out of time and I feel this ship is sinking
The doors are closing, I am frozen
I need her around
And it feels like we belong together
Can someone tell me where do I stop? (where do I stop?)
Hey 'cause
I can't keep on feeling the way I do (oh no)
I can't keep on hiding my heart from you
I gotta say something before someone else comes through
I can't keep on loving you from a distance
From a distance
From a distance
From a distance
From a distance
'Cause I can't hide
I can't keep on feeling the way I do, no no
I can't keep on hiding my heart from you
I gotta say something before someone else comes through
Baby, I can't keep on loving you, no no
I can't keep on loving you, hey
