Love is the leading theme in the world of music, Israeli and world. Everyone writes about love, and we sing about it with them. Meir Ariel also sings many love songs. They were written in different genres, and mostly dealt with love from different sides of it. One thing can be said about this variety, common to its writing in general: it has no trace of cliché. When it's poetry in a more literary language, it's not recommended. When it's writing in spoken language, it's not a trivial story like "Yesterday we kissed, in the morning she was no more." Then you can embark on the journey of Ariel love.
On the occasion of the project "And here it stays" dedicated to the songs of Meir Ariel, we also examined Meir Ariel's journey to love, which begins with the romantic love, the beloved woman who is absolutely the virtues. "Can not take away your eyes, from your eyes that look like discoveries. Can not take away from you the eyes, from your lips that produce pearls. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful."
"A weekend in the village, you were wonderful. In a floral and butterfly dress you would have fun."
"Negro honey smells of citrus, and wine smells of smadar. Allowed, allowed now, now, now allowed, allowed, now allowed to fall in love."
"Sarah would have loved it" - Alon Adar and band
Love goes hand in hand with the knowledge that she is fleeting, that this moment will not return. "Another week has passed. Where are you hiding? Drop your shoulder on the well, get drunk as a souvenir. And distant fields do not let me sleep! Just sip and sip barley and rye all night.""I'm silent. She bites her lips. I'm silent and my hands are so heavy. Suddenly she turns and walks away, and I'm just still silent there. Well, enough."
Ariel always hints at the sexual act. Is part of love, but only one discovery of it. "She did not have a breast and I did not stand, just murmurs in English: Naber Mind, Naber Mind. She did not care, maybe I was nice, we only served as models for one song."
"Midrash Yonati" - Yehu Yaron and Daniel Zamir
The power of love in Ariel is where most writers run away from it. Love is suffering, pain, a power struggle between man and woman, and it is not for nothing that Shulamit says in the song of songs, "I am sick of love." Love is a disease. "It begins in your eyes and descends into your tongue, and rises in your laughter and returns to your eyes, declaring: Thou shalt not seize me, thou shalt not seize me.""Bernard loves Louise, Louise loves Bernard. If Bernard softens to Louise she runs away to the cruel one, and when he hardens her she will rebel against him in something. Here days come, says Bernard, and my hardness comes your blessings, and my softness to your hardness sighs."
"My love is like a desert land, stabbing like a flint, stinging like a scorpion, penetrating the bone like a cold bow, even if it wants me, it already dries me, to see if I will stay. That's when I love it more."
"This is a wounded song of our love, loves we had here and there until our love was excused, and we no longer needed them, and we too were a bit stabbed and remained in the field of killing our love."
"Thou shalt not catch me" - Adam Ben Ezra
And the same controversial line, which has been widely interpreted. "And I also had a girl, a little wild, a little vague, but she did not deserve me to go crazy. So in a rented car I ruined her shape, and now I miss her."• Innovations for Meir Ariel: An exciting project in his memory

and all these lead to the wonderful song about the restless man, the crazy man. Love as a healer for the sick soul. "Until the nurse on duty at the morning watch took pity on me and I calmed down. I put my sister in a bride. Amusement - I am in front of you. Longing - I am in you. Illusions - I am your witness."
