Obsessed...

So I am slightly obsessed. Hopefully y'all won't get sick of my posts on this and will humor me and watch the YouTube videos...

I tend to fixate on musicians, and per my previous posts (and subsequent commentS (note the plural)) I'm really enjoying the MP3 downloads of the Idan Raichel project.

There is something unsettling yet beautiful about his music. I've been reading up on him because he's an interesting character, and I even found a few interviews of him online.

Anyway, so here's my latest favorite song:

ממעמקים -Mi'Ma'amakim (Out of the Depths)
(song is in Hebrew; also features some Ethiopian chant)

Out of the depths I called unto you, come
Your return shall rekindle the spark in my eyes
Neither done nor forsaken the touch of your hand
To the sound of your laughter shall glow here again

Out of the depths I called unto you, come
'neath a moon that shines brightly your way back to me
In your ear whisper ask again

Who is it that calls to you tonight, listen
Who sings aloud under your window
Who stakes his soul just for you to be happy
Who'll lend his hand to build you a home
Who'll lay his life down under your footsteps
Who like the earth at your feet shall live on
Who'll love you better than all of your lovers
Who'll save you from the rage of the storm
Out of the depths
