"Look what they made of us
How
did we
learn to live without culture?
Just like that without feeling
like anything easily,
look how we learned to die"
For thirty years the group "This is it" did not release a single original song (but only endearing cover versions in the year since their unification here ).
Surprisingly, The Fantastic Five is already releasing a second original song in just three weeks, “Look What We Will Become of Us (Culture, Words to Remember)” its name, which premieres here at Walla!
Culture and will go up tonight (Thursday) in their program.
The beautiful and sad chanson was written and composed by Kobi Lurie, following the paralysis caused by the government to the world of culture during the year of the Corona plague, and produced and arranged by Amir Lekner.
If the original song by Gov, Moshonov, Braba, Glickman and Kushnir, released earlier this month, "The Pizza at Heart", was light and general, the new song is different from it: it is serious, topical and heartbreaking.
So what, Gidi, with the pizza comes the appetite?
"Look, it's just happening. The pizza arrived, and then Kobi Lurie gave me the song 'Look what's going to happen to us (culture, words in memory).' I heard it, I brought it to the band, we heard and decided to do it. It really moved us. "It's a charming and beautiful song, a sad longing song."

You sing the powerful words "How did we learn to live without culture?", "Look how we learned to die".
How really?
"Listen, there is uncertainty. In Israel and in the world we do not know what is happening with life now, how to deal with it. And in all this, when it is not clear whether the vaccines will work or not, we really learned to live without culture. It is true that it is difficult to produce culture, and you can not meet In the theater. But there are countries that have somehow solved it, like Spain, where they come together in a different way. And this thing has been going on for a year, it's a very extreme madness. We are at the end of the list, this business of culture, if at all. "But it does not happen, and probably will not happen soon. And it's just sad."
The song is very touching.
When you look at your friends in the industry, at the hundreds of thousands who have not made a living for a year, does it make you more sad or angry?
"Even if small things come here and there, the industry is paralyzed, the theaters are deserted, the performances do not take place, and there is nothing. Sometimes such situations happen but the government can be expected to hug you, reach out to you, say 'Okay, this is really a difficult situation, but let's create Situations' - but that's not on the horizon either. The song says' Look what we'll become ', it's not a steam song that demands budgets, it's a sad song. A song that is jazz, a movie. Of course it's not only culture but also things that involve culture like works, "Restaurants, vacations, trips, etc. The song touched us very much, and we were very excited to do it."

One of the only good things that came out in the culture in the corona year, in addition to the unification of "This is it", is the multiplicity of protest songs.
Is that a song like that too?
"It's a disturbing song. It's a song of longing. It's a shame to mix it with politics, but it mixes. What will become of us? How do we talk? How do we conduct ourselves? Singers and people talk unculturally. We have lost something that is deeply profound. Culture is not just "A beautiful song, culture is also to conduct your life as a cultural person, who has read, learned, heard and loved. And somehow this thing ... look what we will become of us. We are the closest to a civil war we have ever been. What happened here ?! It is a sad song."
In an interview I had with you two and a half years ago, you told me, "Once we went to demonstrations, like the demonstration following Sabra and Shatila. Now is the time to have some fun."
You do express your opinion in some of the satirical sketches in "This Is It", sometimes in music and also in this interview.
But did the disgraceful conduct of the government in the corona year whet your appetite to return to physically demonstrating in the streets?
"I do not go out of my house for demonstrations. I do not need it, it also does not help a bit. There are others who demonstrate, like the wonderful Balfour demonstrators. There is something that is as if connected to nothing, and nothing happens, and we have no minister or representative. It is not Will help. Even the little that seemed to say they would give, and of course did not give, is nothing. I'm really sad, I see news and say - what's going on here? It's not a language I know, it's not a form of speech, it's not a way of life. We're in a land of wars, but there was some honesty, something that was a bit erased. The wonderful Kobi Lurie, who writes beautifully, did not come with a demand - bring us, but with the statement that something sad happened here. Culture is really rarely missing. I feel we are a little lost inside "The wealth of information, the misinformation and the Pike News, the vaccine does work and does not work, and more closure. The word despair permeates a little, when you understand that it is not going to end so quickly."

When I visited you at the "This is It" studio earlier this month, I heard you tell your friends that if the corona runs out, the "This Is It" union may end.
If you had to choose between the end of the corona combined with the ending of "This is it" and the continuation of the corona with the continuation of the magic of "This is it", what would you choose?
"I want and yearn, and like me I let most people in the world, to some kind of normalcy. Just leave the house, without a mask, hug, not be afraid all the time. We live in some constant fear that we will get infected, something will happen to our family, friends. "I will give up everything so that there will be some normalcy. We are waiting for it patiently and following the instructions. I do not know what will happen, and I do not know if there will be 'this is it' after the corona."

"Look What Will Become of Us (Culture, Lyrics in Memory)" / Lyrics and melody: Kobi Luria, Performer: The "That's It" group
Look what will become of us
No piano No flute No violin
How without feeling we got used
to living without major without minor
even without theater, without comedy
What's what happened?
We shall not die,
sorry, that's not a tragedy
can live without culture
is not a stand-up not fringe which movie
does Drums No Guitar Nothing in
what scares It basically
nobody upset
the body fit, for sure
, only, perhaps, the soul
without the occasional A little rest-spirit
she needs a soul machine and
security is important!
Transportation is important!
And education and in the name of the name, religion!
And only culture has hardly a place in
the last line on the side
will see what they made of us
How
did we
learn to live without culture?
Just like that without us feeling
like anything easily,
look how we learned to die.
