Mid-August, Tu Bab. Sahonia del Mote outside, summer blues. In the midst of all this, the day of love and compassion is tomorrow, and it feels stickier than ever. We decided to uplift you, but not with a NIS 79 double bed set from some brand which ends in hum. We made sure that today's soundtrack would at least have a breeze that would cool the pony, caress the face and keep the heart warm. We asked our favorite music-makers, people who write songs that tell us about love, and also know a few such songs themselves, to choose the song that plays A smiling playlist with a pair of heart eyes is out.

My love song: "
Tom Waits | "Take it with me
"Bye Fer is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written," Sivan Talmore says excitedly, recalling the first time she heard Waits' song.
"I read the lyrics and I didn't understand how such a specific love could feel so mine. I immediately went back to the trip my husband and I took, where we crossed the United States for a month and a half on a huge Harley Davidson with a small bag in the back, two jeans, four shirts, an outfit Sea and sweatshirt.
"It was all there, like in a Waits song; the endless roads, a single phone booth with a dead line, sitting on the American balcony with an old friend, the ocean as blue as the eyes, the anger, the pleasure, the passion and the pain we experienced together. The realization that everything you loved would be yours, like Belongs only to you. That you become a collector of experiences, and wherever you go, in the middle or at the end of the road, this is what stays with you - exactly those extraordinary moments that create the map of who you are. And whoever writes such words in Tu Bab, knows what love is." .

My love song: "
Matt Simons | "Catch & Releas
Matt Simon takes Coral Bismuth for a walk among the shooting stars of the Sinai beaches: "It's a relaxing and beautiful song. I discovered its deep and moving meaning, precisely on vacation in Sinai, among the silence and the stars," says Bismuth wistfully.
"Something in the text, in my eyes, connects us all to a place where each of us faces challenges. Part of the challenge itself is also knowing when to let go. The 'catch and let go' resonates in each of us. To find the place where we are in front of ourselves. And to find the comfort in the intimate reflection In front of the pain, in front of the suffering we carry.
"When we allow it to come and be, we are allowed to truly release it. As soon as we clean the things that sit on us, or at least try to clean, the place to love ourselves and those around us becomes possible. The shores of Sinai are the perfect place in my eyes to disconnect for a moment from the reality that surrounds us on a daily basis and let the soul Ours is to bring up the things that sit inside, quietly and calmly. The combination of the place and the song gave me the precision I needed at that moment. Real healing."
Kobe aflalo
My love song: "
Eric Clapton | "Wonderful Tonight
Eric Clapton with "Wonderful Tonight" engraved by Kobi Apello on one of the walls of the heart, "first of all because of his unforgettable guitar line", he makes sure to point out and adds: "There is a kind of romantic and direct paradise in the song, which creates a warmth that bypasses even the most sticky kitsch that is in my songs Love. This lovely song takes me back to the early years, when I started singing and writing, at the beginning of my search for my authentic sound. You can say it helped me quite a bit. A perfect song."
Yuval Mendelssohn
My love song:
"
Daniel Johnston | "True Love Will Find You in the End
Yuval Mendelssohn chose Daniel Johnston's bare anthem.
This is a praise song for true love that always comes in the end.
"There's nothing like Daniel Johnston to expand my shrinking heart," shares Mendelsohn.
"Maybe it's his trembling voice, the crackling guitar, or the shy presence of the hidden indie artist, whom Kurt Cobain and Thurston Moore adored and his songs. I got to see him at Barbie, when he came to one and only show in 2015, just a few years before his death. The little song- The song about true love was one of the highlights of the evening, when the entire crowd that filled the club sang the words together with an almost religious intent."
Amir Lev
My love song: The Oud Sound Band | "old forest"
Amir Lev likes to use Mediterranean magic powder, especially when he is in love.
"Yer Zakan" by the Tzlili Ha'ud band always reminds him that every person has a story and hope for a happy ending.
"I have listened to this song many times and will listen to it again," says Lev.
"He always reminds me that everyone has a story and in all these buildings I see on my travels, behind the walls, behind the shutters, there are people with stories. Everyone fears evil, everyone hopes for good. Full of similar stories, separated by the walls of an old forest altogether. For me he The song of all of us".
