"I'm looking for beautiful words, that I can sing, that I want to cry" - this is how the song "In Motion in the Look" opened, written, composed and sung by Alon Adar, a song that opened his tenth album "Yes Yes Yes Yes!", Which he released in February.
In the song, the herd revealed his heart and the creative process, and now he is revealed in another and surprising way - physically.
In the touching clip, which came out last week, he reveals to the camera the signs of the skin disease psoriasis that broke out in him during the corona, a little less than two years ago.
"Psoriasis is a chronic and genetic skin disease. It broke out in me during the corona, and it must be related to something mental in the face of the shock involved," Herd says in an interview with Walla!
culture.
"There was a time when it was unpleasant. Visually it also looks unattractive, and it is also terribly itchy, and hurts quality of life on levels. But I realized that is what happens and I learned to live with it. In this clip, instead of hiding the skin lesions hidden in the hair, it was thought It's more pleasing to me that this thing is exposed than not. Following the post I posted about the disease, I got hundreds of messages from people who also said thank you for flooding the issue not to talk about it, and I also got lots of suggestions for treatment. "I'm in favor of exposure in music in general. The only thing is that I have children, so I'm looking for a way to protect them."
On Wednesday (June 8), the musician will perform on the opening night of a new festival, "C-SOUND", which will take place in the port of Caesarea for three concept evenings.
That evening, Shlomi Shaban will also perform with the piano and the Angels band.
The next day, Balkan Beat Box, Jasmine Mualem and Mosh Ben-Ari will perform, and on the eve of the festival's signing, on Saturday, June 11, Ninet Tayeb, Mercedes Band and the Jews will perform. SOUND have now also done the GENESIS festival which was an amazing event, "says Herd." They do very beautiful and interesting things and they are constantly looking for the way to invent.
The lineup is really exciting to me, and I also live really close to the festival venue. "

You perform the same evening that Shlomi Shaban will perform, you both had the great honor of collaborating creatively with the legendary Hava Alberstein and as part of that also being her partner for beautiful duets - you in the song "You have no right to pardon in the world" and Shaban in the song "Exercise in Awakening".
A fermenting question: Which duet do you think is better with Hava, yours or Shlomi's?
"Obviously Shlomi's duet (laughs). That's the right answer to say. Their relationship is very beautiful, they performed four years together. I composed two songs for her latest album, the duet song I was terribly ashamed to offer her, it was in my email, in drafts, a few years . .
The collaborations with these eyewitnesses in music, the huge hit "A Little Love Won't Hurt" and the embrace of the media in general are among the signs that you have become an indie coach into the mainstream.
Is it just a blessing or is it also a bit of a curse?
"I try not to treat it that way. I'm very happy to be treated in Galgalatz. The band and I worked for many years without getting recognition or partial recognition. I'm very happy for the hug and acceptance from all the people I admired and I collaborate with them, and from the big radio stations. I take care to create what interests me and not address the question of what is marginal and what is central. .

At the end of last year you broke up with your spouse and the mother of your children.
Did you write songs that were affected by this breakup?
"Everything I go through exists in the work. Obviously the parting is a big thing in my life and it also exists in the work. This also resulted in songs that I have not released yet. In the last album it was less still there. This album was written when we were together. We actually recorded it a week before the corona started .
Kobi Aflalo wrote a post that attacked the level of lyrics of some of the young artists' songs.
He wrote: "Sometimes it seems to me that a generation of musicians has grown up here (thank God not everyone) competing who will bring the lowest and dumbest text in the name of the fucking coolness defined by people living in a movie who are wow like cool as if, low."
What did you think of it?
"I do not want to comment on it. I can only say that I really enjoy all the genres in the work, I enjoy creating things that range from high to low. In the way I see it, in my eyes there is room for everything."
Collaborations with young composers are expected on his next album, where for the first time in over ten years he will work with music producers, and not produce himself alone.
"Working for the first time in 11 years with producers is a big thing for me. To flip the ego, it's new to me. It's very pleasant for me, also not to be the one sitting at the computer, and also to bring a song and come as a performing artist. I really enjoy it. And I also recorded and was on everything. And now I'm going after the producers. These are young and good guys - Matan Egozi, who also works with Noga Erez, hip hop producer Yonatan Hefner and Eli Ashdot who produces Nono. In short, a lot of young guys. An adult, but they are still a decade below me. "

During this time, they are developing a comedy series inspired by the mythological film "Givat Halfon Ina Ona", directed by Assi Dayan and starring the Pale Tracker trio and also your mother, Miki Kam.
I know your mother was offered to participate in Habima's stage adaptation of the film - and she refused.
Would you like to see her in this series or do you think you should not touch the myth?
"I really like Asi Dayan, Lior Dayan and the whole family there, Jonathan Geffen, Aviv Geffen, Gon Ben Ari. 'Givat Halfon' is an amazing film to me and every sentence there is a key sentence. I actually think that new adaptations can be a thing. "Beautiful, in general, and if Lior Dayan leads it, then his head is really good. I do not know about my mother's participation in the productions."
The "Tammuz" band in which your father was a partner was not afraid to touch the myth - and reunited several times.
"Listen, 'Tammuz' the second they play, everything sounds the same. There was the union on Sunday in 2017, and the magic happens the second they play together. In short I'm in favor, why not. The source is always there. I admire everything that happened in 'Tammuz'. "And each one of them individually. They have insane power."
I was amazed by Kutner's story, that in your youth you needed help working for a school on Tammuz - and you turned to him.
His honor is in place, but you have a father named Judah a flock in the house.
"Listen, there's a situation where Kutner knows more than my dad about Tammuz. He's the man to ask him everything. I do not remember if Dad helped me at work. But my dad and I are in a really good piece of music. It was very important to me to do things alone at first. But always "He advised me. And now, after many years, I am teaching foreign studies at Rimon. Dad and I go through this world closely, together."
Paul McCartney will be 80 this month. Do you bet Lennon or McCartney?
"It's hard for me to take a group. There's also the amazing George Harrison. There's days when I've heard Lennon's 'Mind Games' bluffs. On the other hand, Paul McCartney in a piece of music is a deity. .
