Offer Nissim X Shiri Maimon - Look Into My Eyes


When the missiles from Iran started to fall last Sunday, my first thought was 'oh no, there goes Pride, again'. Last year's Pride celebrations were cancelled at the last minute because of the war with Iran, and it wasn't clear at all how long this round would be. But by Monday evening restrictions were lifted and the Pride Parade was back on. It was so nice to see everyone gather to celebrate love and freedom, and just to have a good time. It's not Pride weekend without Offer Nissim's legendary 'Ofra' party, long-awaited after his Purim party was cancelled because of the war. He released this new track with Shiri Maimon ahead of the concert, and I just can't get enough of it! Check out Shiri's stunning performance at Ofra here. Queen!


You said that one day you'd break my heart
So I ran away, but the fire pulled me close

And who are we to know
If it's just a moment or real love?
It takes its place, it scares us both

And sometimes, in the middle of life
Without a warning, the heart gets caught
And brings us to our knees

Blow the smoke around me
Mix up all my sense of time
With three glasses of wine

Make love to me once more
I just want to be close to you
And touch the sky

A broken heart never lies
Feel the way my heartbeat rises
Just look into my eyes

I cried the whole night long
Until there were no tears left to fall
Outside it's a party, inside it's screams

And I didn't know how to come back
When my whole body was drunk
And only my mind kept pulling me forward

And sometimes, in the middle of life
Without a warning, the heart gets caught
And brings us to our knees

Blow the smoke around me
Mix up all my sense of time
With three glasses of wine
