I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
I'm not where I want to be
I wanna be in you
Inside of you
I wanna give, I wanna take
I wanna build, I wanna break
Inside of you
I want to laugh, I want to cry
I want to live, I want to die
Inside of you
I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
Inside of you
I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
Inside of you
To reach the depths, to reach the sky
To learn to fall, to learn to fly inside of you
To surrender, to succumb
To prevail and overcome, inside of you
I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
Inside of you
I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
Inside of you
Everything I'll ever do
I wanna do as one with you
Inside of you I feel free
Inside of you Eternally
I'm not where I want to be
I wanna be in you
I'm not where I wanna be
I wanna be in you
Inside of you
I'm not where I wanna be
I'm not where I want to be
I'm not where I want to be
I wanna be in you
I wanna be in you
I wanna be in you
I wanna be in you

Inside Of You (remix)

I'd give anything to get into your heart
But I don't even know where I should start

I haven't got the faintest clue
I only know that I love you

Perhaps a miracle will finally come my way
And I will find the perfect words to say

Perhaps I am a bit naive
But I'll continue to believe

That you're the one, the only one for me
And we were truly meant to be

And I'm the one, the only one for you
I only hope that you will feel it too

Do do do do do

I'd give anything to get into your heart
But I don't even know where I should start

I haven't got the faintest clue
I only know that I love you

​​

I'd Give Anything

אספר לכם איך היו שמחים
אספר לכם איך היו שמחים

פעם אחת היה מלך
והיה לו בן יחיד
הוא מסר המלוכה לבנו בחייו
כי הוא כבוד גדול למלך

המלך אמר רק תהיה בשמחה
וכשתהיה בשמחה, אהיה בשמחה
אפילו בדיכי, אפילו כשרע
תמיד תהיה בשמחה

ואז המלך חזה לו בכוכבים
וראה שם את בנו זרוק על הפנים
אתה עתיד לרדת מן המלוכה
עצתי לך, רק תשאיר בשמחה

קח הכל בסבבה, זו רק הצגה
הכל מבויים אך ורק בשבילך
אתה כוכב בתוכנית פספוסים מפוארת
אל תשכח לחייך למצלמה הנסתרת

המלך אמר רק תהיה בשמחה
וכשתהיה בשמחה אהיה בשמחה
אפילו בפאשלות אפילו כשרע
תמיד תהיה בשמחה

המלך אמר רק תהיה בשמחה
וכשתהיה בשמחה אהיה בשמחה
אפילו פאדיחות אפילו כשרע
תמיד תהיה בשמחה

העצבות היא לחנונים החיים בכפירה
לא מאמינים שהכל לטובה
סמוך על המלך, הכל בשליטה
אל תתן לעולם להטעות גם אותך

המלך אמר רק תהיה בשמחה
וכשתהיה בשמחה, אהיה בשמחה
אפילו בבאסה, אפילו כשרע
תמיד תהיה בשמחה

המלך אמר רק תהיה בשמחה
וכשתהיה בשמחה, אהיה בשמחה
אפילו בקאסאך, אפילו כשרע
תמיד תהיה בשמחה

תמיד בשמחה – Tamid Besimcha

I know just what you want to hear
And I want to be the one to sing it​
I know just what you're looking for
And I want to be the one to bring it​

I know just how you want to feel
And I want to be the one to touch you​
I know a path to ec-sta-sy
But I can only go... if you come with me

Will you come with me? I am asking for your hand
And I mean forever, a never ending one night stand

Open up your heart, you never felt this way before​
Like a brand new start, this is the love... we waited for

I know just what you're dreaming of
I’m your knight in shining armor​
I know just how to turn you on
And to always leave you wanting more​

I know just what your soul desires
And I’m gonna make sure that you get it​
I know tonight you will be mine
And I promise you... you won't regret it

Will you come with me? I am asking for your hand
And I mean forever, a never ending one night stand

Open up your heart, you never felt this way before​
Like a brand new start, this is the love... we waited for

Open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
This is the love... we waited for

I know just what you want to hear
And I want to be the one to sing it​
I know just what you're looking for
And I want to be the one to bring it​

I know just how you want to feel
And I want to be the one to touch you​
I know a path to ec-sta-sy
But I can only go... if you come with me

Come With Me

I had a lousy day today
I argued with my wife
She’d been bitching up a nasty storm
Complaining ‘bout her life

She told me I’m not worth a crap
Called me a lazy slob
She said my music sucks
That I should “get a real job”

Well I understood her upset
And I knew she had a point
So I drank a few more beers
And I smoked another joint

Then I headed for the pawnshop
And I hocked my wedding ring
Bought me a ticket and this guitar
Cause I really really really need to sing

Need to sing, need to sing
Isn't that the darnedest thing
I’d give up food or water even air

But I won't give up my microphone
Even if I must go on alone
How life can be so brutally unfair

Then I headed off for Nashville
My blue eyes full of tears
And I know just what I’ll have to do
If I'm to win your ears

I'll have to sing my heart out
Have to take your breath away
I have to sweep you off your feet
If I’m to get y'all to pay

Need to sing, need to sing
Isn't that the darnedest thing
I’d give up food or water even air

But I won't give up my microphone
Even if I must go on alone
How life can be so horribly unfair

Well I'll either wind up going home
In a brand new limousine
With my picture on the cover
Of The Billboard Magazine

Or wind up on some sidewalk
Singing till the day I die
Either way, at least I’ll know
That I gave it my best try

Need to sing, need to sing
Isn't that the darnedest thing
I’d give up food or water, even air

But I won't give up my microphone
Even if I must go on alone
How life can be so tragically unfair

Need to sing, need to sing
Isn't that the darnedest thing
I’d give up food or water even air

But I won't give up my microphone
Even if I must go on alone
How life can be so ruthlessly unfair

Oh how life can be so wonderfully unfair

Need To Sing

:כתבתי שיר מבוסס על נאומו המפורסם של המרגל התנ’’כי האמיץ כלב בן יפונה

 "!עָלֹה נַעֲלֶה וְיָרַשְׁנוּ אֹתָהּ כִּי יָכוֹל נוּכַל לָה".

 השיר מעודד נצחון מוחלט על אויבינו וירושת כל הארץ המובטחת מנהר מצרים ועד נהר פרת, ללא 

!היסוסים מצפוניים מיותרים או הפסקות אש ׳הומניטריות׳. קדימה לקרב

מי שאמר והיה העולם
בנו בחר להיות לו לעם
ולעם הנבחר, ארץ נבחרת
זו היא ארצנו אין לנו אחרת

אם אשכחך ירושלים 
אם אשכחך חברון
אם אשכחך יהודה
אם אשכחך שומרון

לא נעצור, לא נרתע, עלה נעלה וירשנו אותה
לא נוותר, לא נכנע, קדימה לקרב כי יכול נוכל לה
לא נתקפל, אין רגיעה, הגיע העת להשיב מלחמה
לא נרחם, אין הפסקה, ואם רק תרצו, אין זו אגדה

מי שאמר והיה העולם
בנו בחר להיות לו לעם 
ולעם הנבחר, ארץ נבחרת
זו היא ארצנו אין לנו אחרת

אם אשכחך ירושלים 
אם אשכחך חברון
מנהר מצרים
עד הרי הלבנון

לא נעצור, לא נרתע, עלה נעלה וירשנו אותה
לא נוותר, לא נכנע, קדימה לקרב כי יכול נוכל לה
לא נתקפל, אין רגיעה, הגיע העת להשיב מלחמה
לא נרחם, אין הפסקה, ואם רק תרצו, אין זו אגדה

עלה נעלה - Alo Na'aleh

I bought a guitar
And I learned a few chords
And I sat all alone on a hill

Where I searched my soul
Till I found the right words
And I slowly developed some skill

Then I started to share
With whoever would listen
And it felt so damn good to be heard

All the love I received
Gave me faith to believe
And I started to sing like a bird

La la la, la la la...

Then I went to the store
And I purchased some gear
And recorded my first masterpiece

It didn’t take long
Till I had a hit song
And my album was set for release

La la la, la la la...

But it didn’t go well
My CD wouldn’t sell
And I felt my dreams slipping away

But I never lost hope
No I never gave up
And that’s why you’re all listening today

La la la, la la la...

Never Gave Up

This one is for my children, and it’s long long overdue
It’s me attempting to express the love I feel for you

I want to say I’m sorry, for the things that I am not
The list has grown quite long, and I’ve been pondering it a lot

I made a big commitment, I was very very young
I’ve tried to follow through but things have gone severely wrong

I know I owe you more, I know I owe you everything
You guys deserve much more than I could ever hope to bring

You make me so proud, I wish I could stay
And I hope that we will reunite someday
You make me so proud, I if you only knew
But at times a man must do what he must do

I tried working for a while, got a job, swallowed my pride
But every day was torture, it was killing me inside

I don’t expect you to agree, I know you’re tired of excuses
But I cannot halt the flow of my intense creative juices

So I set off on my mission, there’s a world to fill with song
If something feels so right how could it possibly be wrong?

Please try to see the good in me, like I’ve always seen in you
And if you must blame, blame the music, for the crazy things I do

You make me so proud, I wish I could stay
I know that everything’s going to be okay
You make me so proud, If you only knew
At times a man must do what he must do

You make me so proud…

Pursue your dreams at any cost, stay your path and don't get lost
There will be sacrifice involved… just keep the faith

Choose your battles carefully, discover who you're meant to be
You'll find you can't please everyone… So don't bother trying

You make me so proud, I wish I could stay
I will think about you every single day

You make me so proud, If you only knew...

You make me so proud, I wish I could stay
But I really must move on and find my way
You make me so proud, if you only knew
But at times a man must do what he must do

You make me so proud
You make me so proud
You make me so proud

But I really must move on and find my way

For My Children

Wake up, if you could open up your eyes
If you could only realize

Wake up, from the darkness of your nights
It’s for you the morning shines

Wake up, you’ve been asleep for many years
You’ve been imprisoned by your fears

Wake up, your soul desires so much more
Shake off its chains and let it soar

It’s not all that hard and it’s never too late
Just don’t ever lose hope; don’t ever lose faith

It’s not all that hard and it’s never too late
You can always return; it’s for you that I wait

Wake up, there’s a reason you’re still here
Everything will soon be clear

Wake up, you’re gonna make it, you will see
For you were destined to be free

It’s not all that hard and it’s never too late
Just don’t ever lose hope; don’t ever lose faith

It’s not all that hard and it’s never too late
You can always return; it’s for you that I wait

Wake up, if you could open up your eyes

Wake Up

Rocky Mountain High (John Denver Cover)

You can't imagine what it took to get to you​
You cannot fathom half the things that I've been through​
But if you hear me now, then the journey was worthwhile​
Cause I'd do anything to make you smile

I know you're wondering "Who could that lucky girl be?"​
I know you're thinking "I wish he'd sing that song for me"​
Now listen closely and try to 'hear' between the lines​
And pay attention to the signs

There's no way it can't be, I'm not the one it's not for me​
There's no way it can't be, I'm just a dreamer it's not for me

Your heart is beating, a little faster than before​
Yet you deny it; you try your best just to ignore​
But it won't leave you; you think about it now and then​
And ‘just in case...' you go and play it once again

And as you listen, you feel you're being swept away​
For your whole lifetime, you've been waiting for this day​
As crazy as it seems, you start to hope it may be true​
I'll say it one more time... I sing for you

There's no way, it can't be, I'm not the one, it's not for me​
There's no way, it can't be, I'm just a dreamer, it's not for me

You Can't Imagine

Pressplay Remix Clubs

A quest for spiritual identity led me from Chicago to Israel at 16, where I eventually befriended a singer-songwriter rabbi with a loooong beard and a twinkle in his eye.

David introduced me to the Kabbalistic principle that Hashem alone did, does, and will do all that has been, is being, or ever will be done.

He encouraged me to “invest” time alone in nature and gifted me an old guitar, an empty notebook, a pen, and a bag of magic mushrooms…
