    • My song about Tel Aviv, Israel
    • Actually, there are a few songs about this place, and yet...

      This is the city in which I spend most of my waking hours. It's a truly lively place, filled with interesting (most of them nutty), sun, girls, garbage, restaurants. I love it and hate it at the same time. Oh, and it was born in the same day as I am...

      And actually, there are some songs about Tel Aviv, including an instrumental piece by Duran Duran. But my favourite is a song by the Israeli alternative singer/songwriter Berry Sakharof:

      And the city, is a city of summer
      In Tel Aviv there's no autumn
      Everything goes back to you
      The beginning and the end
      Only a war, should it come
      Will bring us back together
      Like lover to lover, after the war
      After the the war,
      Should it come, should it come
