היה או אולי לא היה - Orfeu Negro

רוזינה קמבוס, ענת גוב. שבוע קשה עובר עלינו.
Fuck cancer.

Killer

I think I killed it.

Barracuda

I think you got the blues too.

My Own Home

I miss it.

Shampoo

Me, I don't even really use the stuff.

Self Esteem

The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.

עגלות חורקות - Creaking Carts

What is it about human nature that makes us say "Hey, I love X so much I want to put bells on X and make X sound like water fowl"? Anyway... Check out the fantastic original here.

Times Like These

What can I say? They've just been, well, like these.

Guilty

As charged.

A Satisfied Mind

In which, if you look closely, you can notice all sorts of damage to my face. Nu.

I'm Going Home

This one is for @0xB17. We missed you.

נגד הרוח - Against the Wind

Shot on location at the Alpaca Farm, Mitzpe Ramon, Israel, featuring the stunning Blond. I'm just a prop, really.

The Boy in the Bubble

I really dropped the ball this week. I know. I have a good excuse, I was busy doing something else.Anyway, here is last Sunday's song. There will be a new one tomorrow. Trust me.

Soul to Squeeze

Good morning, @IsraeliPM. Did you sleep well last night? I didn't. I had to get up to move my kids into the bomb shelter at 2am. And I'm still not using that as an excuse to blame anyone else for the fact that the peace of mind I haven't found yet, I must seek within.
Have a good week.
Also, say hi to Tal. He agreed to be seen. This made me happy.

שיר תשרי - Tishrei Song

Hi, @IsraeliPM. I just want you to think about "מישהו חושב עליך, ורושם את מעשיך". Because @amosness and @0xB17 are the ones more deserving of the rest of that line, "בוא הביתה במהרה, עם הרוח הקרירה."
My loved ones, enjoy your adventures, and remember that you have a home that awaits you.

Summertime

Hi, @IsraeliPM. I just want to ask you one question. Why is it that we still can't sing "ain't nothing can harm you" to those little babies whose daddies aren't rich?


Thanks.

War of Man

Hi, @IsraeliPM. You know, when my kids play games with me, it's lovable. When they do it to distract me from messes they've made, I still tell them off. When you play games that threaten to kill hundreds of thousands, maybe more, to distract us from your failures as a leader, there's nothing lovable about it.
Lay down your arms and listen to your people.

Fever

Hi there, @IlDuc- oh, um, @IsraelPM. A lot of people around us are burning.
No, it isn't fever. If only it were.

God Bless The Child

Hi, @IsraeliPM. It's me again. I think I'm just going to keep serenading you until you stop making up excuses and coming up with halfassed solutions that actually make the problems worse, and actually man up and address the situation at hand.
Or even better, resign. Give someone who actually remembers that PM is the role of a CIVIL SERVANT.

Wide Awake

This one goes out to @IsraeliPM. It's time for you and your government to wake up.

דוד - David

It's that time of year again. Neta and Tal's birthdays were on Friday, and nine years ago today, Tal and I got hitched. So take your pick.This song was a hit when I was pregnant with Neta, and it seemed to apply rather well.

סוכר בלוז - Sugar Blues

For the happy occasion of a birth in the family, I translated Johnny Cash's "Cocaine Blues" into Hebrew. Um, loosely. Very loosely. It's about sugar. And it has a happy ending.

Caribbean Blue

This is one I've been hoping to do for a long time, and when @liront failed to comply with my simple wish of playing this (VERY NSFW SONG BEHIND THE LINK) on his show (@radioliron) last week, I could hold it in no longer. Sorry.

Moses

My son, Yiftah, was born five years ago today. When he opened his eyes this morning, he gave me that very same look he did the first time he looked back at me, that told me we were in for a grand adventure. I love you always, Yiftahi. If you are a bird, I will be the tree that you come home to. If you ever break down, you can break on me.

יא משלטי Outpost Sweet Outpost

Once again, there's an atmosphere of pioneering in the air. Hope. It's going to be harsh and unpleasant, but that's how we build homes.

Big Time

Pretty early on in life I realized that any system predicated on indefinite growth is destined to fail. Nice to know that Peter Gabriel gets it, too.
I hope that our governments get it at some point. Preferably before we all explode.

ערב ב' כסלו - Erev Bet Kislev

טורפי נפשם בכפם הופכים כאן לעצים.

Strange Fruit

The atmosphere of increasing xenophobia in Israel, this time targeted against refugees seeking political shelter in our country, which was founded on the very basis of a nation seeking shelter from persecution, is, well... it's terrifying. A lot has been said about it, and sadly racism is nothing new. A strange and bitter crop. Seek the golden rule within yourselves, people. Let's not suck. Be excellent to each other.

Land of Confusion

First thing, last week, I was thinking about how this song is as relevant as ever. And I am taking matters into my own hands, in my own way.
On an entirely different note, Tal, guest starring here with his refurbished Fender Stratocaster, and I both feel that my facial expressions in the video are, ummm, entertaining in themselves. I kind of think they warrant subtitles. Feel free to take this video and add your subtitles to it, see if you're reading my mind correctly.

שומר החומות - The Guard on the Walls

This was supposed to come out yesterday. Which was Jerusalem day. Which would have made sense. Because it's a song about Jerusalem. יצא לי קצת מבולבלי.

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

Ignore them. You don't have to go blind.

Colors of the Wind

Whether I'm thinking of the experience of participation in a 216 km trail relay race in the north of Israel, or of how it's about time people stopped killing each other, this works.

La Quête

This one goes out to @Ramramiko, all the dreamers, and particularly those who have a hard time letting themselves dream.

להתעורר - Wake Up

This song was requested by @liront (who kindly hosted me on his radio show in December, as we all well remember and some desperately wish to forget). What can I say? We're between memorial days. Our independence day is coming up, we're all shaking the dust off of last summer's protests to discover that not only have things not really changed much, a lot has become worse. It's time to wake up.

Comfortably Numb

Guest starring the amazing @amosness. Together, we are known as the Wyld Stallions.



Later, that same evening, this happened. Proceed with caution.

Walk Like an Egyptian

Passover surprise!

Guest starring @elinorigby, filmography by Mesh.



Check out Elinor's first single here.

Come Talk to Me

This song is for @Bicherit, and all the mutes in our lives.



Oh and also, please be extra forgiving. Had to do this in one take because I have a very bad cold and that's all my voice would last. "Hello, Miss."

Rise

My beloved @rotemu is going, as we've already established, to be big in Japan. Tomorrow. This is for her. We rise.


I miss you already, hoar.

Last Night On Earth

She already knows it hurts.

I Turn To You

Making up for last week, and also, a little special something for a very special someone.

Bon voyage.

Ordinary World

Last week, we were under fire here. Our world was anything but ordinary.

I'll be making up for the missed edition later this week, BTW.

Not Fair

This special request was made by @yosgof quite a while ago, and, well, better late than never.

Ring of Fire

Eighty years ago today, a J.R. Cash was born. The USAF wouldn't let him enlist on initials alone, so he changed it to "John R. Cash". You know where I'm going.

Check out my new ukulele. We have yet to really know how to work together.

Big In Japan

@rotemu is about to be big in Japan. So yeah.

Word of warning: we were scared to actually watch and listen. View at your own risk. HAPPY SUNDAY!

100th Post! 100 Songs!

For my 100th song, I rallied up professional help, and called in @Manganon to give me a helping hand. He totally took me on.

A special thanks to the amazing @TwinIonEngines, without whose Pandas I'd have never started this whole thing.

And thanks to everyone who's stopped by, listened, cheered me on, pelted me with the proverbial tomato, and so on. It's been super fun, so far. I expect it to be even more so once I figure out the locks on the liquor cabinet.

Self Machine

On the heels of being told by @amitl13 that I am prettier than Optimus Prime, I went to have a look in the mirror, and this was the outcome.

Into the Great Wide Open

Tom Petty and I are out for a jog.
"Hey Tom, wanna do something nice for @roee_r?"
"You go ahead, I have to go kill Kim Basinger."



Featuring Tal on guitar, because you know I can't play that well myself.

Lotus Flower

This one goes out to @raffeg. Listen to your heart, love.

Soma

Close your eyes and sleep. With earplugs.


(If you watch closely, you can see me almost pass out there after hitting the high notes. That's real.)

Enormous thanks to Tal for his beautiful guitar and artistic interpretation, as well as his hand in the frame for a split second.

Soak the Sin

I just had this stuck in my head. So why not?

Son of a Preacher Man

Um, almost. Oy oy oy.
