Queen | Purim song (official lyric video) - Gilad Brounstein

Description

Official Lyric Video for “Queen” from the EP "Broken Heroes." Spotify - https://ln.run/DwITO I wrote this song a few years ago and finished recording it right before the war. There is no better time to release this song. The song is about when Mordechai tells Queen Esther, "כִּי אִם-הַחֲרֵשׁ תַּחֲרִישִׁי, בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת--רֶוַח וְהַצָּלָה יַעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, וְאַתְּ וּבֵית-אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ" ("If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish") It's about that pivotal moment when Queen Esther decides to stand up and do what's right for her people. What continues to give so many people, myself included, strength during these times is amazing people. I feel everybody here in Israel, as well as communities around the world, have answered Mordechai's challenge with such awe-inspiring bravery. We have truly risen up in unison to fight this war against true evil and darkness. כתבתי את השיר הזה לפני כמה שנים וסיימתי להקליט אותו ממש לפני המלחמה. אני מרגיש שהשיר יוצא ברגע הכי נכון. השיר מספר על הרגע בו מרדכי פונה לאסתר ואומר לה "כִּי אִם-הַחֲרֵשׁ תַּחֲרִישִׁי, בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת--רֶוַח וְהַצָּלָה יַעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, וְאַתְּ וּבֵית-אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ". זה רגע בו אסתר המלכה מחליטה לקום, לעשות מעשה ולכתוב את הסיפור שלה ושל עם ישראל. Music written, produced and Preformed by Gilad Brounstein. back up vocals - Liat Fishman Lyric video - Yehuda Gelb http://yehudagelb.com/ You can leave us all behind Never cross a line Or you make a choice for yourself You can hold on all you like Spend your whole life Waiting for someone else to choose you Time will pass and on and on You'll be staring all alone at the same place Life won't wait for anyone, you'll be singing all alone from a blank page Or you can be a queen Grab the crown Break through the castle walls Write this story on your own And tell everyone that you've found joy and peace in the moment You could be a hero for us all And I know you'll be a queen You're here to set us free With your faith and your beauty, be the queen you ought to be Sitting idle every day Let another slip away Or you can grab the ring And seal our fate You could blame him all you want But you'll drown yourself in pools of shame and guilt Or you could face the emptiness Time will pass you on You'll be staring all alone at the same place We've been running for too long, we'll be running again at the same pace Or you can be a queen Grab the crown Break through the castle walls Write this story on your own And tell everyone that you've found joy and peace in the moment You could be a hero for us all And I know you'll be a queen You're here to set us free With your faith and your beauty, be the queen you ought to be #Purimsong #פורים #queen #folk
