Aperco - Loving You



Nostalgia overload, yet so, so good. Just what I needed to hear today.

Voice is running in my head
You never tried to understand
Thoughts of crying in the rain
I wish that I could feel the pain

You can say I told you so
I guess I've heard it all before
Don't you leave me all alone
I can't make it on my own
So all I have to do you
Loving you

Who is right and who is wrong
We keep on fighting all along
Yes it happens every day
I know I'll have to find a way

Oded - Morning Grace





Got to be someone else
Someone else
Got to be your morning man
In a vase - underneath your bed

Give me the power to be your friend
For I'm lost in my own head

Oh, I love you so bad

Got to be someone else
Someone else
Got to be your flowers man
In a vase - underneath your bed

Give me the power to be your friend
For I'm lost in my own head

Oh, I love you so bad

anna RF - One Day



From their FB: anna RF is an Electro - Ethnic - Reggae group.
The phrase anna RF is an Arabic-Hebrew expression which has a double meaning-"I know" and "I don't know", that is the concept behind the band.
anna RF was formed in a tiny desert village called "Shaharut".
The band creates music that combines the beauty of different cultures and brings people together in a joyful celebration of unity. The group's sound is a mix between east & west, blending ancient and modern instruments with a live-electronic touch. The message of the songs is one of happiness and freedom.
anna RF is also about visual art and collaborations. They are traveling across the globe creating music and videos with local artists in authentic settings using a portable studio.

Band members:
Roy Smila - A background of eastern music, plays a variety of instruments such as: Kamancha (Persian violin), Lafta, & Saz-bush (Turkish instruments).
Ofir J. Rock - A background of rock music & music production, plays the guitar, didgeridoo, flutes & vocals.
Or Raveh (Dubtazer) - Electronic music producer, plays bass guitar and live electronics.

I chose this song because it's one of my favorite videos from the latest batch of IndieCity clips but after hearing it again I realized how fitting it is with this week's big news of Lucy Aharish and Tsahi Halevi's surprise wedding after secretly dating for 4 years. It's clear why they kept their relationship a secret, and why all the journalists who knew about it respected their decision. I'm especially infuriated with all the comments from people worried about their future children. Hopefully one day things will be different.

I don't remember where but I go on
I left it all behind, I left alone
It was too much for me, can't call it home
I choose to change the rules, I choose to roam
I wanna fix the mess but I go on
Far from everything I left alone
I didn't want this life, can't call it home
I had to run away, I choose to roam

Papa was a roller he left us all alone
In a stroller mama carry crying all day long
He go gamble, stumble, drinking and smoke
Baby tremble and weep but growing up strong
One day gonna come
One day gonna fly
One day I believe
That I soar above the sky

Matti Caspi - She



In loving memory of the great Charles Aznavour.

Original lyrics:

She may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or
The price I have to pay

She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven
Or a hell

She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and proud
No one's allowed to see them
When they cry

She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember
'Till the day I die

She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for
Through the rough and rainy years

Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is she

She, she
