Gon Ben Ari and Zulat Choir - Israel

Well, after an unexpectedly long hiatus, I'm back for one last post. I've had a lot of fun keeping this up over the past 12(!) years and forcing myself to discover new music beyond the playlist hits, while along the way interacting with lovely people from across the globe. I might eventually decide to take a closer look at the musical gems from the past decade once more time has passed, or to dig deeper into tunes from other periods, as I have occasionally done, but for now, I'll leave you with Gon Ben Ari and Zulat Choir, taken from the stellar album 'Yesh'.

♥

Between the evenings in high school

In the suburb which you've already repressed

Making muscles against the madness

In the toke gym

Drunken light from Babylon

Lit in the street at night

An endless hole in the phone

Scroll down, down, down

How many signals can I give you

Until you will finally look

How the river overflows the rock

Every button turns on miracles

And was there water

When you entered up to the knees

They didn't open in front of you

For you to come in

Israel

They reinvent you every night

Who in the chill, who in the bumps of the road

Israel

A voice that has no body or mouth still prays

Through Arsim chanting at school:

"Here not here here here

Here not here here here

Here not here

Here not here here here"

Together

How many operations will we carry out

So that the border of "who am I"

Will feel stable enough for a moment

And for a moment, you'll breathe

I know, you love

But let's try tonight

To not talk about anything 

Except for the future

Israel

They reinvent you every night

Who in the shade, who in the sun's indulgence

Israel

A voice that escaped from a synagogue is still splitting

In the football crowd

"Here not here here here

Here not here here here

Here not here

Here not here here here

Here not here here here"

Together

Here comes the night

And from here you don't see

And you can't know

One can only believe

Me
