The composer Menachem Shukron (33), a father of four from Netanya, presents a second and powerful single - "I am yours", a song written, it turns out, in 15 minutes.
"It is said that with musicians, the best songs were written in refined moments of composition, which did not take long," Menachem describes.
"I am yours" - written out of a sympathy that was reflected in Menachem's life, with people whose dreams were shattered, who experienced vulnerability and silence and their lives and lives - were robbed from them.
"I was a transparent child, no one believed in me, my father repented and the importance of the Torah became a supreme value for him. He expected to see his son study only, and did not like that I would play guitar even though I saw a friend and brother, he said I should study Torah. "At the yeshiva they always said that the guitar was an instrument of hafalot and it 'did not fit', later, the supervisor allowed him to play at home once a week, for fifteen minutes. They always tried to stifle my creativity and musical pan, which only intensified as they silenced him ..." A number.
Menachem hopes that his new song will make people believe in themselves.
"That he knew that God had chosen him, and that he was one and special in his world.
Every person should take advantage of his talents and fulfill himself, know how to raise his head sometimes and say: 'I am yours and my dreams'.
To throw everything at God and know that even if a dream shatters, or I shatter, that Gd can connect me.
In Hasidism it is described that "what lives - does not die", and indeed, the lines in the song sum it up simply: "What lives in me now - will live forever, what died in me long ago - was never alive."
Shukron is in the last line before embarking on a tour in Israel and abroad, with a kicking musical ensemble that has formed and performed with him on various stages.
His previous song Shubi, which came out in the terrible days, moved many and garnered much sympathy.
