When the 10th season of Rising Star started at the end of November I don't think anyone thought that we would still be at war by the Eurovision final and that there would still be 132 hostages in captivity, among them an unclear number of living hostages. And yet, here we are. We did know that we would still be coping with the aftermath of October 7th and the songwriters who wrote Hurricane for Eden Golan, the winner of Rising Star, knew that the Eurovision semi-final and final would be held during the reflective days of our memorial week which started last Sunday with Holocaust Memorial Day and will continue tomorrow evening with Yom HaZikaron, Israel's Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of terror. Yom HaZikaron will end on Monday evening with Independence Day celebrations, a shift that has always been difficult and understandably will be much more difficult this year, even with toned-down celebrations. There's already been a change in the air as we're getting ready for Memorial Day and 'Hurricane' manages to not only honor the the memory of those who have lost their lives but also capture the feelings of so many of us during this challenging year. It was clear throughout the season of Rising Star that Eden is a star performer and she gave a phenomenal performance at the semi-final. Eden, no matter what happens tonight you're already our winner, thank you for shining a light during the darkness.
Writer of my symphony
Play with me
Look into my eyes and see
People walk away but never say goodbye
Someone stole the moon tonight
Took my light
Everything is black and white
Who's the fool who told you boys don't cry
Hours and hours, empowers
Life is no game but it's ours
While, the time goes wild
Everyday I'm losing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
Dancing in the storm
I got nothing to hide
Take it all and leave the world behind
Baby promise me you'll hold me again
I'm still broken from this hurricane
This hurricane
Living in a fantasy, ecstasy
Everything is meant to be
We shall pass but love will never die
Hours and hours, empowers
Life is no game but it's ours
While, the time goes wild
Everyday I'm losing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
Dancing in the storm
I got nothing to hide
Take it all and leave the world behind
Baby promise me you'll hold me again
I'm still broken from this hurricane
This hurricane
Don't need big words
Just prayers
Even if it's hard to see
You always leave one single light
Voters outside of Israel can vote for Eden, no.6, here.
