Idan Raichel ist es mal wieder gelungen. Lang ersehnt und endlich erschienen ist das neue Album des Idan Raichel Project's, das den Namen 'Within My Walls' trägt. Betörend-melodisch, verträumt-poetisch, folklorisch und sehnsüchtig, 'Within my Walls' bietet wunderschön komponierte Lieder und Melodien, die einem den Tag und die Tagträume versüßen. Neben den bereits verarbeiteten ethiopischen Einflüssen gibt es diesmal einen Ausflug in die spanische Sprache. Aber auch Ladino - das 'Jiddish' der Sephardischen Juden bekommt Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Wer die Geschichten der Lieder verstehen möchte, der braucht durchaus keine Sprachkenntnisse in Hebräisch, Arabisch oder Ladino, die Musik spricht für sich.
Meine Favoriten:
'Scraps of Life - She'eriot shel Ha'Chaim' featuring Amir Dadon: eine Stimme und ein Lied, das der Seele Flügel schenkt.
She’eriot Shel Ha’Chaim (Scraps of Life) What is time telling me It’s all scraps of life And to live the moment To begin collecting the shards
Maybe I will get out more Start to speed up a bit Start to get along And make some noise Maybe a different place A more exciting place Start to shake things up And make them right again
'Other People's Dreams - Chalomot Shel Acherim' - ein starker Song, fast schon wie ein Marsch, eine Hymne für bessere Zeiten.
Chalomot Shel Acherim (Other People’s Dreams)
For years everyone runs away For years everyone returns Chasing after the sun Trapped within circles Everyone is complicated So what are you still dreaming for?
For years they are hiding something For years everyone knows A stone overturns Throughout the days and nights Everyone is talking Why are you still here?
It’s better to run to the flames Demand Not ask What are you afraid of? Don’t think twice when he says There is no better time Bring on the day
For years they are asking For years they are not listening Keeping everything inside It gathers and strengthens And finally exhausts What are you talking about?
Turns out you’re always silent But inside everything is burning, on fire All the words that vanished You will find them in other people’s dreams
For years they open up And remain shut, Grasp the wind Every disaster on the heals of another One announced As another is told Returning to the open wound
'Rov Ha'Sha'ot - Most of the Hours'. Ein Lied, das die für Raichel so typische upbeate - Stimmung und verzaubernde kopmlexe Melodie beinhaltet. Gesungen von dem sehr charismatischen Ilan Damti, geboren in Israel, mit Wurzeln aus dem jüdischen Yemen.
Rov Ha'Sha’ot (Most of The Hours)
Most of the hours that remained Were filled with love For most of the days that escaped us She was with me and I was with her In most of the songs that filled the room I was a raging storm And what is left at the end from the break For most of the time is the silence
In most of the escapes and bursts of anger I remember a frigid wind In most of the winds and storms At days end she returned In most of the songs, still remember her face Touching Not touching And a tear of silence Through most of the tears, The room’s reflection As if commanding her life to end in bed
There are days left And they are many And they are hers And there are hours that are filled entirely with her scent And most of the time she remained An when she wasn’t weeping One way Or another I remain hers
Fazit: Wer sich bereits für Idan Raichel's vorherige Alben interessierte, wird mit Sicherheit auch für 'Within My Walls' Begeisterung finden.
