Jeki & Rimoch - Corn Fields



I'm back from a break abroad and this is the perfect song to soften the fall before the harsh return to reality. Jeki & Rimoch is a stripped-down version of the epic space rock group "The Giant Lizards from Nibiru Planet" and this is probably one of my favorite Indie Kan videos so far. Watch until the end! Oh, and you can follow Jeki & Rimoch's adventures around the country here.

It was me who was walking in the corn fields
A ray of sunshine burns the corn's leaf
I remember very well how he took me there
At noon I was getting hot

The pupil opens and she looks different
How a hallucination connects
There's what to grasp, currents and she shakes
I give everything and she seems to accept
Yes in the corn fields

Take me there

Eden Atad - Stagnation

 

 At first I read the title of Eden Atad's new album as "Dory's dead" but while listening to it I realized that it might actually be "My generation is dead". Every track is worth listening to but there's something special about this song that manages to capture a familiar feeling in a new light.

We drove to the South on a hot day
To Klil's wedding
I turn up the music
When the parents talk
We don't hear them

My sister tells us about the factories
And the sinkholes
Yarden asks what the president's role is
And what is God's
We don't know

Something has to happen
Something has to move something
Maybe on Shavuot evening
The last holiday
And we'll finish the year
Maybe after the stagnation
A flood will come

My love hates word games
Silent in despair
Why is the United States entering Afghanistan?
Occupation
We don't laugh

We'll never get there, I declare
Mia is nauseated
My dad says that the country is on the ropes
And I'm actually quite fine
As long as there's air conditioner
