He started his career as a composer when he was just 14. Siavash holds a Master's degree in classical jazz from Royal Society of Arts in London, England, where he majored in pop music. He worked with some popular bands in England such as the Rebels and the Insects as a pianist and singer. When he returned to Iran at the age of 25, he started his career mainly as a composer. Ghomayshi has created numerous melodies and lyrics for famous Persian artists such as Ebi, Dariush, Sattar, Mansour, Leila Forouhar, Aref, Firoozeh and many more. Ghomayshi wrote his first song, called "Ghayeghran" ("Boatman") for Zia when he was 13. Although initially considered a composer, in the latter years of the Pahlavi regime (before the 1979 Islamic Revolution) he released his first album, and has since continued his work as a singer, composer, arranger, and lyricist. In 1972 he released his first album, Farangis, in Iran. He lived in Iran until the age of 25, then, given the uncertain status of those involved in the music business following the Islamic revolution of Iran, decided to leave the country once again to pursue his career, this time his destination was the United States. In recent years Siavash Ghomayshi has explored electronic music as well such experimentation has introduced new elements into his music and the whole Iranian pop music, He is known as the father of trance music in Iran. Among the 18 albums Ghomayshi has recorded to date, Ragbaar, Rooz-haye Bi-Khatereh (Days with No Memories), Bi Sarzamin-tar az Baad (More Homeless Than The Wind), Taak (The Vine), and last but certainly not least Yadegari ("Memento") (2011) have been among his most successful. Because of the popularity of Siavash's voice among young generation, in recent years many singers inside Iran tried to sing in the same way as he does.
Although his albums may be considered largely non-political, he expresses a longing for his home country. Ghomayshi has also had significant involvement in albums released by various musical compatriots, especially Leila Forouhar's "The Story of Yours, The Story of Mine" and Ebi's best albums "Setarehaye Sorbi (1995) and Shab-e-Niloufari (2003)", which attracted a lot of attention. His music can be considered as Persian-language pop/rock, in contrast to the vocal stylings most often associated with adult contemporary singers.
In 2011 in an interview with teamghomayshi.com he stated that he does not believe in life after death, also saying that Yadegari ("Memento") (2011) would most probably be his last album, but to let his fans enjoy his music and his unique styles, he will be releasing singles.

Siavash Ghomayshi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
بارون به شیشه می زنه
همه غصه های دنیا
توی سینه ی منه
توی قطره های بارون
می شکنه بغض صدام
دیگه غیر از یه دونه پنجره ، هیچی نمی خوام
پشت این پنجره می شینم و آواز می خونم
زیر بارون انتظارت رنگ تازه ای داره
منم عاشق ترم انگار وقتی بارون می باره
بعضی وقتا که میای
سر روی شونم می ذاری
تموم غصه ها رو
از دل من بر می داری
اما این فقط یه خوابه ، خوابه پشت پنجره
وقت بیداری بازم
غم می شینه تو حنجره
غم می شینه تو حنجره
وقتی که تنگ غروب
بارون به شیشه می زنه
همه غصه های دنیا
توی سینه ی منه
توی قطره های بارون
می شکنه بغض صدام
دیگه غیر از یه دونه پنجره ، هیچی نمی خوام
بعضی وقتا که میای
سر روی شونم می ذاری
تموم غصه ها رو
از دل من بر می داری
اما این فقط یه خوابه ، خوابه پشت پنجره
وقت بیداری بازم
غم می شینه تو حنجره
غم می شینه تو حنجره
(by Vahid)
In Siavash Ghomayshi's Panjereh, the singer reflects on the rain hitting the glass windows during a narrow sunset, which only emphasizes the pain and troubles that he holds in his heart. Every worry and care that the world has to offer is contained within him. As he watches the raindrops on the window, they seem to break through his choked sobs, leaving him wanting nothing more than to stay behind that one window. He sits behind the window, singing his heart out, waiting for his significant other to arrive, waiting for the rain to stop. The rain only adds a fresh color to his love, and it intensifies the feeling of being in love.
At times, when his lover arrives, she rests her head on his shoulder, taking away all his fears, anxieties, and sorrows, leaving him only pure bliss. However, this is all just a dream, a dream behind the window, where behind every awakening lies sorrow; a sorrow that sits heavily in his throat. With the onslaught of sunset, the rain continues to beat against the window, and the pain persists in the singer's heart.
Overall, this is a song about love, loss, and waiting. The singer is waiting, for his lover, for the rain to stop, for something, anything, to make the pain go away. The window is his sanctuary, a place of safety where he can experience love and let go of his worries.

وقتی که تنگ غروب
When the sunset feels narrow
بارون به شیشه می زنه
And the rain beats on the window
همه غصه های دنیا
All the worries of the world
توی سینه ی منه
Are in my heart
توی قطره های بارون
In the drops of rain
می شکنه بغض صدام
My hundred-year-old sighs break
دیگه غیر از یه دونه پنجره ، هیچی نمی خوام
I don't want anything except one single window
پشت این پنجره می شینم و آواز می خونم
I sit behind this window and sing
منتظر واسه رسیدنت ، تو بارون می مونم
I wait for you to come, in the rain
زیر بارون انتظارت رنگ تازه ای داره
Under the rain, your waiting has a fresh color
منم عاشق ترم انگار وقتی بارون می باره
I'm also more in love, it seems, when it rains
بعضی وقتا که میای
Sometimes when you come
سر روی شونم می ذاری
You put your head on my shoulder
تموم غصه ها رو
And take away all the sorrows
از دل من بر می داری
From my heart
اما این فقط یه خوابه ، خوابه پشت پنجره
But this is just a dream, a dream behind the window
وقت بیداری بازم
When I wake up again
غم می شینه تو حنجره
Sadness remains in my throat
غم می شینه تو حنجره
Sadness remains in my throat

نیمه شب سرد
باد خزان
غربت
دلتنگی
بی خوابی
چشمونم فاصله رو از پنجره دید میزنه
دلم اسم تو رو فریاد میزنه
درهای پنجره رو تا انتها باز میکنم
تو خیالم با تو پرواز میکنم
