Born in Yalova to Turkish immigrant parents from Skopje, Macedonia, Ferah got her first guitar when she was in the first year in boarding at Bursa Namık Sözeri High School. She took lessons on the acoustic guitar, and during her second year she hired a studio with her friends and formed the group Pegasus. The group had their first stage experience during a rock festival in Bursa, in 1987. After a while, Pegasus disbanded. In 1988 with her four friends, Ferah formed Volvox, which was named after a microorganism that they had encountered in a biology lesson.
After a period during which she attended Middle East Technical University, studying economics in Ankara, she moved to Istanbul, where she attended classes on English language and literature at the Istanbul University. For two years she performed in various bars with Volvox, until they disbanded in 1994.
She released her first solo album, Kadın in 1996, and has gone on to release a total of six full studio albums, the last one being Benim Adım Orman, released in 2009. In addition to composing the music and writing the lyrics of every song in her albums, she occasionally sings on stage cover versions of work by artists of similar vocal qualities and style, such as Amy Lee and Skin.
On her third album, Perdeler, she collaborated with the Finnish cello rock band Apocalyptica.
Ferah's current group consists of Buket Doran (bass guitar), Metin Türkcan (electric guitar), Aykan İlkan (drums), and Ozan Tügen (keyboard), who have been performing with her in studio and on stage since her third album, Perdeler.
Can Kırıkları
Şebnem Ferah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dünyanın bir ucunda tek başımayım
Kir göstermeyen renkleriniz sizin olsun
Korkmaktansa bulanıklığın tam içinde bir başımayım
Benim belki de gizli bir bildiğim var
Elbette ağlarım
Benim can kırıklarım var
Senin gördüğün yanağımdan süzülenler
In Şebnem Ferah's song Can Kırıkları, the lyrics talk about feeling alone even in a crowd of people. The singer would rather be alone on the other side of the world than feel alone while surrounded by others. They choose to be alone in the midst of uncertainty rather than being afraid, and they keep a secret knowledge within them. The lyrics describe their pain as a "broken heart" and reveal that the tears seen running down their face are just a glimpse of the deep ocean of emotions they feel inside.
The song is a reflection on the singer's struggle with loneliness and the desire to keep their true emotions hidden. The lyrics reveal a sense of isolation and disconnection that comes from feeling misunderstood or not fully seen by others. The song conveys a sense of melancholy and longing, with the singer choosing to retreat inward to deal with their pain rather than seeking comfort from others.
Overall, Şebnem Ferah's Can Kırıkları is a poignant and introspective song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling alone and dealing with emotional pain. It acknowledges the difficulty of opening up and being vulnerable, while also suggesting that there is a deeper sense of resilience and strength that comes from facing one's own struggles.

@Cicikuş Cicikuş Can kırıkları Albümü (ve bu parça) tarz olarak Hard Rock kategorisinde bir albümdür gidip araştırabilirsiniz de , zaten az çok müzik bilgisi olan biri bu ayrımı yapabilir.
