iogi - magic trick





seems to me that while we're here
you might as well be a part of me
everybody's talking
and i'm trying to listen to you
in the morning i overthink
but try to wash it down my sink
now I see there's no magic trick
i guess i'm doing just fine
put on your make up
forget it i mean it
i'm walking beside you
don't need nothing else
better be close
because i'm getting the most of myself
don't expect much
i am what i am
seems to me that while you're here
you might as well take a walk with me
if you're not tired and feel at ease
we might go to see a movie
don't you fear that the writer's gone
summer comes and you feel alone
if you're patient enough you'll see that
i am coming real soon
put on your make up
forget it, i mean it
i'm walking beside you
don't need nothing else
better be close
cause I'm getting the most of myself
don't expect much
i am what i am

Eden Ben Zaken - My Life



Mazal Tov to Israel's sweetheart Eden Ben Zaken! Eden burst into our lives 5 years ago with her memorable X-Factor audition (she later won second place) and became Israeli pop royalty with her debut album "Queen of Roses". Since then she's been busy releasing hit after hit and I'm sure this one will be a classic. The video, which is footage of Ben Zaken's recent wedding to longtime boyfriend Shuki Biton, is very emotional and also captures perfectly Israeli weddings today. L'chayim!

You came into my life before I gave up
You lit my heart with a sea of colors
After all the years in which I've been searching for happiness
All the years in which I've been searching for words

My love, look into my eyes
We won everything yet we remained sane
Promise always to take care of just us
To take care forever

Oh you're my life
How do I have you
I'm lucky to have you by my side
Oh you're my life
I'm shouting in front of everyone
For me you are the greatest happiness in the world

And how is it that with you every morning is such happiness
I wish time would stop forever
And how is it that you came for a moment
And stayed for eternity
A love for a lifetime

Oh you're my life
How do I have you
I'm so lucky to have you by my side
Oh you're my life
I'm shouting in front of everyone
For me you are the greatest happiness in the world

Erez Dascal - Titanic



Wow.


Once again I am swept into an adventure without arms and legs
And we pay for this nonsense later in blood
In blood!

Again
I am dressed like a captain
And I imagine myself sailing
This cursed ship
Towards the safe haven
And all of the sailors are disabled
And I have no ears and eyes
My throat is hoarse with stupidity
And there's nowhere to sail
Because the ocean
Is so wide open
And the wind is waiting
For an opportunity to give wings
To give a slap in the eyelids
And bring with me to justice
Again

Again I'm indifferent
To all the death around
And all the contempt and the soot
On the streets of Tel Aviv
It's giving me a heartburn
And why are you interfering?
Who gave you a license to drive
With me
Like a mule
Like pairs of shoes
In the markets of southern Tel Aviv

Again
I know I'm lost
This game is addicted
To its own failures
It's trying me out with force
It has no heart and has no mind
There's only the power of inertia
And gravity

Admit it, you're mostly lost in all this
Trying to find a sign for a solution
And another car of opportunity has passed
We missed the moment
With salt water from the sea
We brought a small bucket of sand to bury all the mistakes
And we pay for this nonsense each time in blood
In blood!
