Yoni Rechter and Eli Degibri - It's the Same Love

So lovely!

From Yoni Rechter: This is the first song I wrote with Arik Einstein 50 years ago. And this is the first time I'm recording a performance of it. 

I thought it would be interesting to divide the role of the speaker in the song between two performers and I was very happy when my friend Eli Degibri agreed to sing it with me.

I have been collaborating with Eli for over 20 years in various settings, and it's always been a great pleasure for me.

The song will be released on a new album, 'Closed Open Closed', most of which contains instrumental pieces."

Lyrics - Arik Einstein, Composition - Yoni Rechter, Arrangement - Yoni Rechter and Eli Degibri

I can't wait for the new album to come out. In the meantime, make sure to check out Yoni Rechter and Eli Degibri's concert for the 2020 Piano Festival. I still remember what a delight it was to watch it during the pandemic. And here is a beautiful performance of Arik Einstein performing the original with a young Yoni Rechter.

When we were young

You remember,

Love blossomed back then

And today, years later

There is no other -

It's the same love

"You have changed, my love" -

You say

And so did you, my love

"I would do it all over again,

Repeat it again"

It's so good that you're with me

When you are happy and laughing

Then I laugh with you

And when you suddenly cry and are hurt

Then I walk with you

"Hug me now" -

You say

Then you too, my love

"I would do it all over again,

Repeat it again"

It's so good that you're with me
