This EP is called 'Deliberations' and is the complementary half of my EP 'Endless'. For the past few years I had music accumulating on my computer. I changed my mind a million times about what to do with it, if and how to release it. Eventually I decided to release it in two parts. An EP of 5 instrumental songs entitled 'Endless', and an EP of 5 songs in Hebrew entitled 'Deliberations'.
I'm very happy to end a long period of 'Endless Deliberations' and hope you'll be able to find yourself somewhere between the lines 🙂
Thank you so much to everyone who took a part in this, I love you very very much!

Lyrics
Hitayafti (I got tired):
I got a little tired of people
All that I want
Is to be alone without anyone
Stop, disappear
MiliM (Words):
All the words don't say anything anymore
What is left for me to do here? Nothing.
All the words are empty of meaning
It's a mistake to think that not, it's a little foolish
So give me a hug
Stop talking
It's digging
Give me a hug
Close your mouth
It's beautiful
All the words don't say anything anymore
What is left for me to do here besides nothing.
All the words are empty of meaning
It's a mistake to think that not, it's a little foolish
So what's our purpose here?
The purpose is to live without fear
And to lose myself
In the thoughts about you
Giving me a hug
Stopping talking
That's a friend
You, giving me a hug
Closing your mouth
It's beautiful
Duet:
Man: So many beautiful girls
Are on the street today
It's sad to see them passing by
Without being able to tell them
Everything I feel Inside my heart.
It hurts to think they might want
But are also timid
Of telling me
Come, let's kiss already
Enough playing
We all want it
But are afraid x2
Woman: Why all the guys
Are silent like fish
It's disturbing to walk around
While everybody is looking at me
Like at a statue in the museum
Maybe instead of staring
Try to learn how to speak like adults
If you want us to have relations with you.
Fine, Come, let's kiss already
Enough playing
We all want it
But are afraid x2
M: They are so beautiful..
W: Why are they like monkeys
M: How can I talk to them
W: When will you learn words
OlaMuzar (Strange World):
The world is so strange.
Confused people
Are trying to find an answer
But they don't find anything
Because the world is so weird.
Frustrated people
With no spine
Believe to every nonsense
And what are governments at all
Besides just groups of mobsters
That are wearing suits
Because the world is so weird.
Stupid people
With no spine
Believe to every nonsense
And what is God at all
Besides just a word
That everybody is using without thinking
Shabbat:
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
