Arik Einstein - An Intended Tune

It's a bit weird that Arik Einstein is releasing a new single. Very welcoming but still a bit weird. Einstein, one of the kings of Israeli rock, is notoriously known for his fondness of solitude and contempt towards journalism and after so many years in the spotlight it seems that he kind of deserves the privilege to do what he wants and stay home and we've all gotten used to it. However, he has an excellent reason for coming back. Einstein is releasing an album in which he covers Yitzhak Klapter, another king of Israeli rock. Klapter, mainly known for his talented guitar and songwriting skills, was hospitalized a few months ago due to complications from a lung disease. From what I've heard he's regained consciousness and is doing a bit better. Anyway, Klapter is considered to be a true, if not the first, Israeli guitar hero and you can hear it in this song. Of course, the music and lyrics, written by him, are as touching today as they were when the original was released about 30 years ago. And it's always great to hear Arik Einstein who certainly hasn't lost his charm.

Come here, come to here
I'm sending you an intended tune
After years of uncertainty
Come here to the words
To the rhythm, to the sounds
Enough dreaming, become reality

When a tree in the garden blooms
It doesn't hurt to fall in love
So, stand and play

Come here, come with me
It's so simple to be practical
We'll go out together, we'll have a good time for sure
Little heartbreaker
I'm helplessly broken
And that's a good enough reason
So come...

When a tree in the garden blooms...

Come here, come to here
I'm sending you an intended tune
After years of uncertainty
Little heartbreaker
I'm helplessly broken
And that's a good enough reason
So come, yes
