minus-squarelivuslinkfedilink17•7 months agoThis year’s entry sounds pretty horrendous: Described as a “moving and powerful ballad” the song is based around the refrain “I’m still wet from this October rain”. In the verse, Golan sings: “Who told you boys don’t cry/ Hours and hours/ And flowers/ Life is not a game for the cowards.” The reference to flowers is significant, according to Israel Hayom, as it is military slang for war fatalities. The song then ends in Hebrew: “There’s no air left to breathe/ There’s no place/ No me, from day to day.”
I don’t know if that’s the threat they think it is?
