Walk On The Ocean

by Toad the Wet Sprocket.



we spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
where are we going, so far away
and somebody told me that this is the place
where everything's better, everything's safe

walk on the ocean
step on the stones
flesh becomes water
wood becomes bone

half and hour later we packed up our things
we said we'd send letters and all those little things
and they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
it seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came

walk on the ocean
step on the stones
flesh becomes water
wood becomes bone

now back at the homestead
where the air makes you choke
and people don't know you
and trust is a joke
we don't even have pictures
just memories to hold
that grow sweeter each season
as we slowly grow old

Angel

by Sarah McLachlan.

I heard this song on the radio on my way to the airport, the day I left New York after my month long visit there. I couldn't relate to it more that day.

The original version's quality is a bit better.



Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Last week the summer ended here in Tel Aviv with massive and unusual rain that went on for 3 days.

And 2 days ago the winter ended.

Service Not Included ("Lo Kolel Sherut")

by Tel Aviv Youngsters ("Tseirey Tel Aviv").

"Lo Kolel Sherut", an ancient TV show, was broadcast between 1990-1993. It was about a cafe in Tel Aviv that is run by a group of youngsters, played by the members of the city-owned band "Tseirey Tel Aviv". From time to time the band would sing a cover of Israeli or international hit song.

The show aired on the state owned public channel, then the only channel in Israeli television.

Back then everyone watched that show. I personally loved the girls... and I was especially in love with Shir Gotlib. I always thought she, or more true her character, was the smartest one :)

And although she wasn't the biggest star on the show, I think she was the most beautiful one:



So, here are a few of their international covers:

Just like a prayer, which its Hebrew translation made its broadcast in Israel's state-owned channel so provocative back then.


Dream a little dream of me, by the beautiful Shir Gotlib. How can you not fall in love I don't know.


I Don't Want To Talk About It


Tomorrow, from "Angie" soundtrack


And lastly, We are the world. This is a live performance in Tel Aviv with special surprise guests - from "Beverly Hills 90210" actor Ian Ziering, and from "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" actor Corin Nemec (who looks pretty lost). The early 90's never looked better. Check out the video editing, the outfits, and especially the cool cameras the kids in the crowd have...

Got my mind set on you

by George Harrison.

Notice Harrison's cool dance, which he did completely by himself at 1:58.
