Ryskinder - Luxury

Just to wash the body from all the filth
Brushing your teeth is already a luxury
Soon a war might break out here
If you fell asleep on guard it's not so bad

Here is a man
Hasn't slept for a month
All of his thoughts are gone
Cannot find the connection to the electric company
He's not in a good mood at all

Just to wash the body from all the filth
Brushing your teeth is already a luxury
Soon a war might break out here
If they wear you out
It's not so bad
Here's a man
Hasn't slept for a month

Doesn't find the connection to the electric company
He's not in a good mood at all
Just to wash the body from all the filth

Blah. It's exactly one month since the beginning of 'Protective Edge' and I really wanted this post to be some kind of summary. With more than 20 rockets firing since the end of the cease-fire two hours ago it doesn't look like it's going to be that way. At least we took advantage of the break, which we were all hoping to continue-the streets and malls were packed, I started taking long walks through the park again and there was a sense of urgency to make up for the lost summer. But whenever I heard an ambulance siren my ears automatically perked up and if there were several continuous sirens I couldn't help but check to see if something happened. I also caught up on new music releases I had overlooked, like this one by Jerusalem native Ryskinder. I haven't decided yet if he's a genius or a gimmick but I love his music and especially this song. I feel that I really, really needed this and it's good to have him around. He's just about to release his new album (in the meantime you can catch up on bandcamp) and here is the slightly surreal video for the title track "Something Else Happened":



A stranger is talking to you there is nowhere to run
Something else happened in the Shapira neighborhood
Somebody else won and it's all just a joke
A long arm stole your brain
Someone else drew the Mona Lisa
Something is eating you and it's all just a joke

Pa pa da pa da pa...
