Crustation

Purple
Crustation




I am so in love with this band, which led me into the world of Trip-hop. The first time I listened to Ride On by Crustation, I knew, this is my type of music, softer and brighter than Darkwave, Calmer than Rock. If asked to use One word to describe Trip-hop, within my limited vocabulary, i would say subtle. Deep emotional feelings, which are exaggerated in Rock and Pop, are being assimilated, little by little, into the subtle beat and voice. Oh damn, I just can't love it more.


Sitting in the silent twilight
The purple half light
Of the twilight
Wrap the night around me
Blanket of black on my back
I feel safe in the darkness
Your voice is a caress
Delights my senses
Heightens my happiness
Lightens my sadness
Your eyes were on me I remember
Those days in September
Sunset run night
Your hand held in mine
Sitting in the silent twilight
The purple half light
Of the twilight
Wrap the night around me
Blanket of black on my back
I feel safe in the darkness
The silence is so loud
I almost feel it
Nothing to say now
Barely can talk now
I'm feeling like I'm lost
I'm feeling dumb
Speechless and numb
So long I've been blind
I'm losing my mind
Sitting in the silent twilight
The purple half light
Of the twilight
Wrap the night around me
Blanket of black on my back
I feel safe in the darkness
Sitting in the silent twilight rapture
Could it be too hard to capture ?
This velvet moment of serenity

אלוהים נתן לך במתנה

 אלוהים נתן לך במתנה
הבורגנים



When I first heard of this beautiful song from FM99, i thought it was sung by an old Israeli couple, about the belief, contradition, past story and so on... To my great surprise! It came out as a young and pretty couple, and the song is all about the admiration and gratefulness to Elohim (God) and the deepest hope for Shalom (peace). Anyway, I really enojoy the melody :)

אלוהים נתן לך במתנה
דבר גדול, דבר נפלא
אלוהים נתן לך במתנה
את החיים על פני האדמה

נתן לך את הלילה והיום
אהבה תקווה וחלום
קיץ, חורף, סתיו, אביב
נשמה טובה להביט סביב

נתן לך שדות ירוקים
פרחים ועצים מלבלבים
נהרות, נחלים וימים
שמים, ירח, כוכבים

אלוהים נתן לך במתנה
דבר גדול, דבר נפלא
אלוהים נתן לך במתנה
את החיים על פני האדמה

נתן לך חגים ושבתות
 את ישראל ארץ האבות
ידיים וראש להגשים חלומות
נתן לך את כל הנפלאות

נתן לך דברים כל כך יפים
להביא לעולם ילדים
להאזין לשירים, לראות צבעים
הו, מה רבו מעשיך אלוקים

אלוהים, תן לי רק עוד מתנה
מתנה קטנה, אך נפלאה
אלוהים, תן לי רק עוד מתנה
את השלום על פני האדמה

When I'm here with You

When I'm here with You
Sarah Nixey






From the very beginning, I fall in love with this music....Her heavenly voice,  the smooth melody and the soft beat, everything comes so natural and dreamy..When I'm here with you, nothing else ever matters, only the feeling, like the one between the old couple, sways, sways, sways in the air...come dance...



When I'm here with you 
My lover my fool 
It's a game of chance 
Solitaire for two 

I'm dancing to the tune 
Of a lazy afternoon 
I breathe so easily 
When I'm here with you 
I'm dancing to the tune 
Of a lazy afternoon 
I breathe so easily 
When I'm here with you 

Come dance 
Into the night 
We can go high above 
Go anywhere 
We'll dance 
Into the night 
Far away 
You can take me there 

Let's enjoy the view 
And wait for the mood 
You can play your best cards 
You're everything to prove 

Dancing to the tune 
Of a lazy afternoon 
I breathe so easily 
When I'm here with you 

Come dance 
Into the night 
We can go high above 
Go anywhere 
We'll dance 
Into the night 
Far away 
You can take me there
