I've been thinking of this song ever since it was released in January, and I've been thinking of it in the past few weeks. I know it was written during a time when many soldiers were killed while protecting the country, but when I hear the sadness in Assaf Amdursky's voice I think of all the innocent lives lost in Gaza. Too many flowers, too many open wounds.
I thought about it again today when I heard the tragic news that the hostage Elad Katzir from Kibbutz Nir Oz was murdered in captivity. His father Rami was murdered on October 7th and his mother Hanna was also kidnapped and was released in poor condition in late November, and is still being treated at a hospital. To think that after all she has been through she has now lost her son, her star, is too much to bear.
The news breaks my heart
Instead of disconnecting, I want to get closer
To give a hug and to receive what's heavy for you
Put the burden on me, brother
I came here just for you
We will hold our pain together
I just want to cry
I just want to cry
Every day, all day, all night
I just want to cry
To release the tears
Breaking every day
Until yesterday it felt wrong to me
To fall apart first and be weak in front of
A mother who lost her star
It is no longer possible to fill the void
Too many flowers
Too many open wounds
I just want to cry
I just want to cry
Every day, all day, all night
I just want to cry
To release the tears
Breaking every day
I just want to dance
I just want to dance with you
Every day, all night
I just want to dance
To connect the ends
Every day I promise again
Pictures break my heart
Instead of backing away
I want to get closer
