Four great musicians joined forces to perform Meir Ariel's song "Midrash Yonati" as part of the project "And here you stay". Conducted by Yehu Yaron on double bass and Daniel Zamir on saxophone and together with Assaf Roth on drums and Nir Shlomo on guitar, the musicians arranged Meir Ariel's very charged song in a sweeping and unexpected way.

The song "Midrash Yonati" was released in 1988 as part of the album "Green". This is a song that has received many references in Israeli music, and is a kind of prophecy of rage or lamentation about Jerusalem and the people who liberated it.
"Ask about the heart of Jerusalem / Ask for peace / Stones in the heart of Jerusalem / The market square is crowded / Lies and injustice are enveloped / On the occasion of the wall work / But through the veil is seen / Our city is naked", say the words that open the song, which also reflects Ariel's unique language and ability Its fused with biblical texts and contemporary language for modern poetry.
