Maroon 5 performed here earlier this week (much to the delight of the 16-year-old in me) and it was quite a whirlwind, highlighted by Adam Levine inviting the singer Coral Bismith to perform onstage after seeing her sing "Sunday Morning" from his hotel room facing the Tel Aviv promenade. What a story! I think the humorous account Hapshuta put it best with this post:
"Walla I don't understand how Adam Levine just got on a plane and flew to another country.
Honey, you're already settled in.
You have a Jewish name and also a six-pack and those are already two criteria for the right of return sweetie
I thought in your next story we'll see I'm making Aliyah
In a month a trip across Israel as part of Birthright, in a year a feature in the weekend news on Adam Levine's journey from a singer to a lone soldier, and now I just feel betrayed
I feel like you wrote to me 'you're the only country that I'm speaking to'
And then you just moved on to the next country I don't know let's say Poland
And probably there you'll also shout Good Evening Warsaw and you'll invite a Polish busker to sing with you and you'll share stories of Polish women and then you'll also leave them for the next country because once a cheater always a cheater
Now I know what you meant in One More Night you scoundrel
My heart is broken
Only good news"
We love you Adam and thank you for introducing us to the wonderful Coral Bismuth, whose recent single Lava just entered the coveted Galgalaz playlist. As a post I came across explained, "As people call her, Coral Bismuth, "Sunflower girl," is a street performer. For years, Coral has been performing on the streets with one mission - spreading good in the world. She has her spot on the boardwalk and has a beautiful setup for her instruments and swag. What caught my attention was not just her voice but the sunflowers. Next to the sunflower pot, there is a sign "Take and give as much as you can; if you can not give, feel free to take!"

Such a strange situation, a balcony here across the street
A dried banana tree, I went for a walk
I said "hi" to the window I just created here
His smile is cute, okay I'm going up to him
You're so beautiful that it's hard for me to describe
You're as beautiful as the sunset on white sand with Bon Iver in the background
You're as beautiful as water flowing like white in the clouds you're beautiful
Like a charcoal lamp in a poet's dark room
It's hard for me to describe
Like lava in the heart of the earth
Or like the most beautiful sound in all the wilderness
You're a sophisticated chord on the piano
A beautiful flower that hides and improvises
Such a strange situation, I got lost
I was spinning in the kitchen when you offered me a dance
Even ancient energy loses control
Changes consciousness, come to bed now
In the heart of the earth
The most beautiful sound in all the wilderness
You're a sophisticated chord on the piano
A beautiful flower that hides and improvises
A total of three dates, you ran away pretty quickly
I fell hard
Fuck, what a mess
Suddenly my heart opened, after years and years inside the dusty body
Cut
You came with a pink shirt written on it Tonight
What was I thinking? That we'll go sailing tomorrow?
So-called romantic, living in my house
You ruined my vibe
But what will I do that you're so beautiful that it's hard for me to describe
You're as beautiful as the sunset on white sand with Bon Iver in the background
You're as beautiful as water flowing like white in the clouds you're beautiful
Like a charcoal lamp in a poet's dark room
It's hard for me to describe
Like lava in the heart of the earth
Or like the most beautiful sound in all the wilderness
