about

“I’m a Lover” is my response to the dire pain of 7/10 events and their impact on the region. Then, I was avoiding music, and yet repeatedly humming “Lover Lover Lover” by Leonard Cohen, recalling its story (Yom Kippur War). I was thinking, during a shower, how noble Cohen is to turn such pain into love, and wished myself to be a person of love, despite the grief, and to find ways to spread that realization that holds the mutual pain of both sides. After that shower, still in a towel, I wrote it.

lyrics

I’m a lover
Fighting for the truth
I’m a seeker
Of peace since my youth

If you pick one side
I will try to change your mind
If you choose to hate
I will make your heart repent

I’m a lover
Fighting for the truth
I’m a seeker
Of peace since my youth
Let’s have a conversation again
I will try to understand
I will try to remember your bright side
I’m a lover
Love is in my roots

Use your teeth to bite
Food to fill your appetite
Use your arms to show
Your beloved what they know

I’m a lover
Fighting for the truth
I’m a seeker
Of peace since my youth
Let’s have a conversation again
I will try to understand
I will try to remember your bright side
I’m a lover
Love is in my roots

Your eyes are telling something
Dripping words
Is it all or nothing
Bleeding wounds
You are a collection
Of all of your choices
Let’s merge the dimensions
Of both of our conceptions
Could you imagine
Those days might come again
Now you don’t have to imagine
Those days are here
