"They stopped the fire, I heard the news / My love is temporary, I'm waiting by the phone / Don't leave me hanging / Please just come home."
This morning Nega Erez released a new song called "Come Back Home" which describes the story of a relationship, a loved one who has left and a woman who is waiting for his return - but actually sounds like an allegory that longs for the return of the Israeli abductees from Hamas captivity.
In the song, written by Erez, her old partner Uri Russo and the American composer CJ Baran, she says more (in free translation): "I can't wait to hear the sound / of you marching back in the city";
"We are in the kitchen / we break dishes / dirty each other / throw words and knives / the house is a war zone / I shoot the distiller / because everything is fair in war and love / or maybe it was love and war?".
And if that's not enough, after the first chorus there is an exciting sample of "How good you came home" by Eric Einstein.
Listen to the song above.
