Ori Slonim and Michal Shapira-It's So Sad
I just found out the other day that Ori Slonim, the male singer in this beautiful duet, died from cancer earlier this month and left behind his girlfriend, and partner in the duet, Michal Shapira. I first heard this song a few months ago and was touched by the honest lyrics and beautiful melody. Slonim composed the song, and although I didn't know him you can tell from the video clip that as well as being very talented he was also a good guy and very in love with Michal. It really is very sad because you can tell that what they had was so special.
I'm telling you for yourself, I wish you were dead
What do you need of all this, what do you need
To wake up everyday sleep every day
The days are a quantity and you have a thing for quality
And that's why you're crying
Pity on the weak
On you and on all the people
And pity on me
I'm telling you for yourself, it's this way or that
You know how it is, you have an idea
I've seen already days passing, we've seen together
And I've been told by many before you
To go up on the roof
Pity on the weak...
I'm telling you for yourself, I wish you were dead
What will be left of all this, what importance is it
I promise you a nice ceremony, with champagne and strawberries
Because you have a thing for quality
And it's so sad

my heart was broken when i heard about his death. i think they both very talented musicians and it's a bit shame that only after the t.v show they enjoy some publicity in Israel.
