The world isn't the same without Korin Elal in it. I was actually thinking of posting this song before I heard of Korin's death after battling cancer. I listened to it quite a lot in the past year, the lyrics piercing in me more than before, not to mention the unforgettable melody. It's a song of radical vulnerability and Korin never shied away from who she was or what she felt. She will be dearly missed.
I don't want to fall
Into a moment of vanity, a moment of foolishness
I don't want you
Shooting words without meaning
I don't want a stormy sea again
Without ebb or flow
I don't want road dust
Hiding my steps
I don't want to be silent
Afraid of my words
I don't want to burn forever
Without water on my face
I just want you
A bird hanging on a strong
Of love, to live
And not to die
I don't want sunsets
While the sun is still shining
I don't want to know
Why good turns into bad
I don't want to sleep alone
In a cold bed
I just want you
A bird hanging on a string
Of love, to live
And not to die
