The story

Who I was when I wrote it. I didn’t write this song for an audience. I wrote it for an intensive care room. My mother, a music teacher, had been in a serious car accident and was in a kind of coma, ventilated and wired to machines. When she managed to communicate, it was only with her eyes. One of the doctors told me: “Write her a song. It might help wake her.” I don’t know if it was the song. I only know that since then, I have never underestimated what music can do.

Who I had become when I finally let it go. The song eventually took me to national television. My mother and the whole family stood with me on stage, and the judges on HaKokhav HaBa gave it 92%. It was a beautiful moment. But the percentages that mattered never appeared on that screen. They were the numbers on the hospital monitor. My mother survived. Her rehabilitation took years, and it is still going.
