When a poet, creator or singer works on a work, he dreams how the song he will publish will star on the radio, become a hit and be honest in every home in Israel.

In some cases, the same creations become anthems on the sports fields, with sometimes the new versions created by the fans passing the test of time no less than the original performance.

In honor of Independence Day, we gathered some of the top singers in Israel, who through their works also managed to penetrate into the soundtrack of the fans of the top groups in the country.

"Who will not come" - Maccabi Haifa fans

"Of course I'm aware that 'Who Won't Come' has become an anthem. I get dozens of videos of friends sitting in the audience during every game, filming and sending me. It excites me every time, to see tens of thousands of people sing a song I wrote and composed with my friends "Her sons Barbie and Avi Ohayon."

"I am connected to football in general, I like to watch good games. This song undoubtedly brought me closer to Maccabi Haifa and reminded me that as a child it was my favorite team."

"Insanely exciting, it's very powerful. You never know what will happen to a song I wrote in my house quietly, and when it comes out it no longer matters where it goes. It goes without saying. As a child I supported Maccabi Haifa and then for a few years I stopped following football. It feels like closing a certain circle that all this is happening with Maccabi Haifa, I wish they would win the championship again. It would be a dream to come and perform at the Maccabi Haifa championship celebrations, Kadima We organized it. "

The beacon peaked, capturing two different audiences.

"We write the songs at home, sometimes they stay for many years and sometimes they are forgotten. The songs that stay for a long time are the songs that make their way to kindergartens, synagogues and even the sports fields. "They are already becoming fans' songs and that's the most exciting thing that can happen to a song. The fact that two songs have become anthems is the best compliment you can get."

"I usually watch football in significant events, such as the Champions League, the Euroleague, the World Cup. And also on YouTube, in the best moments of one player or another, which cannot be missed."

There is also a promise for Hapoel Beer Sheva fans.

"It's crazy to me and surprises me that I did not know about it, , Especially "Becoming Insane" which has become a huge song all over the world, to think that it has become an anthem on a football field is amazing and exciting. If it pleases the fans it's cool. It's definitely exciting that Hapoel Beer Sheva fans chose this song as their anthem. .

"When I was in Israel, I was originally from Haifa, so I was a fan of Maccabi Haifa. But I haven't lived in Israel for 20 years, so I got into LAFC here a bit, which is the second team here in Los Angeles. I was in some of their games and they have a crazy crowd. But to tell the truth, since I've lived in the United States, I'm all basketball. "

The song masks that it did not go on in adulthood.

"You will never fall" - Betar Jerusalem

"I know, I was told a long time ago. I also got to see games on TV and hear the audience sing it. It's very exciting, I as a singer put out a song, but at the end the audience determines what happens with the song. Covering up the fact that I did not continue playing at Betar Jerusalem at the time.

Think of it that in 1987 I sang them the championship song instead of celebrating with them as a player.

I continue to perform even today, Otto is coming out in a new show and in performances I am asked for Betar's songs. I can tell you that the songs that caught on in the stands, some were even more successful than the songs I did as a singer. And Betar fans wrote the words "

"I have a few more songs. One is the championship song that came out in 1987, and there's also 'I Love You Betar,' which ran in the stands for many years.

These are two original songs I wrote.

I can tell you that in 1984 I wrote a championship song called 'Ola Betar Jerusalem'. 13 advantage points.

He told me that it was already closed and that Haifa would not close any gap and nothing, Menachem was a Betar fan. At the end of the song he became a hit even without Betar winning the championship, so there are some of my songs that are strong in the stands.

"I'm a Betar fan, of course.

I was a player in Betar Jerusalem and we took the youth championship and from there I went up to two games for seniors. I played in the mid 70's, with Uri Melmillian and Danny Neumann. I had control of the ball, in the style of Roni Calderon. I see all Betar games and in previous years I also came to the games themselves. "

"I no longer go to the pitches, but I have always been a fan of Hapoel Tel Aviv.

You could say I am a fan from afar, the so-called fan from the armchair.

The strongest years for me were the years of the double and the years of the crazy journey in Europe with Chelsea, Pharma and Milan.

In recent years a little less.

I like the verb because they are red and I like the color red.

"I do not know the lyrics of the fans' song, but I know there is such a song. The truth is that it is very flattering and there is something in the fans that is very special. The fan and you can not look at it and not cry.There is something in the atmosphere of a football field, something in the fans that is a bit like children, terribly innocent and it has really great powers when you listen to it.The powers of fans are special powers, work on a different emotion. A football stadium makes chills, it's crazy.The fact that a song becomes a fan anthem takes the song for many more years to come and fan songs do not change so fast.In general, a phenomenon of fans is something really creative and there are people whose job it is to excite the audience, so they too Very original.Taking a song from the Church of the Intellect and turning it into a fan song is really special.Because Hapoel is almost always like an underdog and we as a band were kind of an underdog so that's really appropriate. "

Didi Harari tried to stretch him.

Of Maccabi, this is a creative peak, the most real.

There's no more fun than that, being in the stands and hearing the fans sing this song.

There is a special energy inside a stadium that causes a huge amount of people to sing together and in that second a certain song and it is amazing.

When you sing 'yellow rises', it's great fun to hear, it comes spontaneously and it's something that has no brother and bad.

The first few seconds I hear the song, I am surprised every time again.

Can't wish for myself anything better to happen with my song.

This song, will never die, because it has been burned in the bleachers and remains forever.

People will not know in the future who wrote the song and it does not matter. "

"At the time, Didi Harari tried to stretch Ze'ev Nehama and me and said that there was an offer of full money to write the anthem or song for Hapoel Tel Aviv. "We were songwriters, that was our profession. We told him the amount was not interesting at all, there was no chance it would happen."

Entered the hearts of basketball fans in red.

"I love football, I'm a Manchester United fan and watch a lot of games. I was recently sent the video, actually from the stands of Hapoel basketball fans, it was amazing. It does not matter to me which team sings it, if it becomes a consensus, It makes me very happy and makes me feel good. It is definitely great fun, honor. "

"There are those who put out a song and direct it to a specific purpose, say an event or a wedding. I never directed a song to someone specific. I make music and release it to everyone. The song has their life and there are songs that last a lifetime. It is very exciting to hear thousands sing your song, "The most exciting thing in the world. It just gives me more adrenaline to write more songs and make more music. To hear that my song is sung, it's exciting, not only in the stadiums, but also in the reality of music, that someone chooses my song, it fills me."
