It's almost the Jewish New Year, a time for summaries and looking back at the past year. I highly recommend checking out Guy Hajaj's annual end-of-the-Jewish-year playlist of his favorite Israeli songs, aptly titled 'An ugly year, beautiful songs'. I haven't been following new music as closely as I did in the past, and looking back, this is one of the songs that I remember most from the past year, perhaps because it was released just before the war with Iran, and I would often hear it on the radio while trying to somehow work and carry on. My heart breaks for Talya Dancyg, whose grandfather, Alex Dancyg, was kidnapped and later murdered in Gaza. And yet, it's hard to explain the comfort I felt when I heard her beautiful voice sing that she is not alone. Wishing a much better and different year ahead.
All the pain in the world
Lies here on my table
What should I do with it?
Time barely moves here
A trip not to here, not to there
What am I supposed to be now?
And fire
Burns inside me
It scorches - nothing can put it out
Songs
When there's nothing to say
They come, and I'm not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Between flood and tears
A box full of gifts
I could barely see
In front of me stands a girl
changed so much I could hardly recognize her
Strange face in the mirror
And fire
Burns inside me
It scorches - nothing can put it out
Songs
When there's nothing to say
They come, and I'm not alone
Not alone
Not alone
Not alone
All the pain in the world
Lies here on my table
What should I do with it?
