What Makes You Go To Another Planet?

Nashville

Artwork by Vladimir Kush

Written 18 years ago.... is what I'll say in ten years.

I’ve been an addict all my life long
to games I can’t win and puzzles I can’t solve
It’s been some kind of sick fascination
to find myself in impossible situations 
-
and this one is one of those
I’m a deep sea fish reaching for a desert rose
I’m a parking lot, hoping that a garden grows
I’m me and you’re you and my only way through is to divide by zero

you don’t like me much but I promise you this
if you knew me better you’d like me even less
If you could see what goes on in my thoughts
I think you’d personally lead the firing squad

but even though I wouldn’t agree
I’m so flawed, I’d assume I deserve it for something
this song just needs to be worthy of suffering 
I just want you to want something you can’t get anywhere except from me

It puts me out of sorts, but I think you’re my twin
and I ought to sue you for copyright infringement
but i’m sure at the court you’d have this winning defense:
my best is your ground floor, you do all I do and more, you’re improved at the core, so I’d best be out the door, with my obsolescence 
-
but you don’t know the thing you’ve offered
for a minute my sadness has an object
before this it hung shapeless as fog upon me
Now it’s fenced in a daydream that I can keep and smother by slow degrees
(And I guess you'd call that "sorrow laundering")

so even if it’s been in your mind
and even if there were enough time
and even if it’s true, what I swear I have seen
what you’d have to do would split you at the seams
-
it’d never be worth the risk
a dream gambled for so much less
just come clean, a daydream is all this is
some scene, from a movie we probably all saw as stupid kids

I’m sure you can tell most of this is an act
It can all go to hell, as a matter of fact
If I even thought this one could be solved
If I even thought the words could be carved
If I even thought I had something you want 
I’d ruin my life for those lottery odds.

Sorrow Laundering (Acoustic Demo)

Act I: The Call & The Walk marks the beginning of the journey in The Burden & The Fire saga. Blending Celtic folk melodies, acoustic textures, and a melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere, this EP captures the emotional weight of leaving home, facing the unknown, and carrying a burden far greater than oneself. Perfect for listeners who appreciate cinematic storytelling.

'V'Hi She'Amda (Live)' is an upbeat and folky Passover-themed song from Akiva Zneimer (lead vocals & guitar) featuring Noam Barkany (harmonies & guitar) & Shimmy Hambling (percussion). The song draws from a wide range of influences (Shlomo Carlebach, Yosef Karduner, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers) & is the first instalment in Zneimer's 'Live from the Besht' EP to be released in the summer of 2025.

Let Me Be Better Than I Was – A Song for the Heart That Still Hopes

Warm, honest, and quietly powerful, this song blends heartfelt lyrics with a soul-stirring melody that feels both intimate and uplifting.

This is a prayer set to music. Whether you’re at a crossroads or simply trying to walk a little closer to your values, this song is a companion for reflection. It reminds us that progress doesn’t require perfection—just humility, trust, and a willingness to try again.

Listen when your heart feels heavy or hopeful. Let it lift you one step closer to who you’re meant to be.

====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was

Hallelujah - Acoustic Cover
