Lyrics: Michal Elia Kamal
Language: Hebrew
“Sea of Salt” song talks about the connection between the writer, the process of creation, and the desert as a motive and a source of inspiration.
The song opens with a calm melody and with words like “southern breeze”, “all the salt
idle in place” which brings the listeners to a calm desert atmosphere (the silence before the storm). In the song, the desert brings up some old memories, and with them also emotions, the emotions lead the speaker in the song to the creation. Creating any form of art is an emotional experience and can be even a spiritual experience that bullied up step by step. The mention of the burning bush is a biblical reference and a metaphor for the heart which is burning from emotions and never stops.
lyrics
Sea of Salt
Mountains of loneliness
A cool southern breeze
all the salt
idle in place
Distant memories
Passionately engraved
the gust of wind
Will return them to me
Draw me, with a brush
mountains of sand
In honey, and in blue
if you can
Draw for me, with a brush
mountains of sand
In honey, and in blue
if you ca… if you can
if you can
Over mountains of loneliness
Flickering sun
And my heart burns within me as the burning bush, burning in the desert
Distant memories, passionately written
and the painful heart
Will burn as an aching heart
Draw for me, with a brush
mountains of sand
In honey, and in blue
if you can
Draw for me, with a brush
mountains of sand
In honey, and in blue
if you ca… if you can
Draw me, with a brush
mountains of sand

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
the music is like the picture, full of power an warmth, remembering on celtic myth of fertility. There's even a song about St. Johns day (Rana na Ivana), the ancient summer solstice.

Like their earlier albums, Laboratorium Pieśni comes back with great vocals, with the added benefit of more instrumentals on the back of the track. It's a wonderful folk album, and I suggest giving it a listen. witcheroid
