After "Sleeping with Them", rapper Benjamin Luria reveals a second single from his debut album - "Israel in the Beginning", and this time - a touching and exposed work: "Street Children".
The lyrics of the song, which are played in the style of a Jewish hip-hop trap, tell the story of the struggling boy who was thrown into the street and asked to be seen and hugged. The song brings a spirit of hope with the chant "There is no despair in the world" sung by Nachman Lior, along with a painful self-criticism that relates to the ways of dealing with those boys.
Lurie wrote the words from a deep look in the mirror, and after he himself experienced difficult years as a teenager. "I wrote the song a month and a half ago, I sat down at 1:00 in the morning, I listened to music that reminded me of those days, on the benches. I was on the street for a few years," he reveals.
"At first I did not want to publish the song, because I was afraid it was very revealing," Luria said, "but I consulted with my rabbi, and he literally 'sentenced' me to publish it, he told me that I must take out the song and publish it strongly, to help those boys now "Experience what I have experienced in the past, and show them that they too have hope."
"The song is from an entire album that will be released with the help of God later. The album talks about all kinds of spiritual experiences, difficulties, paths, experiences and successes, that I had in life. Hope, unity and sharing, which will allow us to get closer to each other and get closer to the Creator of the world. "
