Amitai Vilk-Take Yourself

One of the things I love about writing this blog is that it forces you to search for new music. This week was a bit tough, not necessarily because there wasn't anything new, but because nothing really fitted my mood. And then I came across this pearl. Amitai Vilk hails from the kibbutz Givaat Haim Meuhad in the pastoral Hefer Valley (Emek Hefer) and it's quite noticable in this song, bringing to mind a simpler time. It's a gentle but important reminder that there's really no need to rush and things will eventually work out, especially when you have the sun and stars on your side.

Take yourself
All the time in the world
The moon will smile to you
There too

Take only
What is important to you right now
The sun will shine
For you, there too
They take care of you
They love you

And the wind blows
And will watch over you
And the stars
Will sing you a song

Take yourself
All the time in the world
The moon smiles
To you now

Take only
What's important
The sun shines on you again
They take care of you
They love you

And the wind blows
And watches over you
And the stars are singing you a song
