I was very sad to hear today about Meir Israel's death at 73, after battling cancer. Meir was one of the country's leading drummers and was a member of the legendary rock band Tamouz, together with Shalom Hanoch, Ariel Zilber, Yehuda Eder, and Ethan Gedron. I immediately thought of this song and how the drums play such an important part here, echoing tense heartbeats.
I don't know how to tell you
Words cannot express
I am simply a boy who sings to you
Songs will not say anything.
I don't know what is eternity
Words cannot express
I am simply one who surely
Doesn't know anything
Maybe tonight there is no way
There is just injury and pain
I don't know how to tell you
How much I love you
Don't know what happened to me
Words cannot express
And I am alone and sad
And you don't say anything
I am sitting here, waiting for you
Waiting for you and writing
Because I don't know how to tell you
How much I love you.
Thank you Moshe Kaye for the translation.
It's day three of the war with Iran, and I have a feeling we have many more days ahead. I'm still getting used to the new but familiar reality of living with the sirens, but I'm hopeful that this is the storm before the calm, and that there is a chance that we will have a safer reality on the other side of this.
