October Rain – Shulem

In these times, when we’re focused on not drowning in the hurricane of hatred and antisemitism, our personal feelings often take a backseat. Since that dreadful day in October, our hearts and minds have been solely focused on our land and people. From the moment I heard this song, I felt compelled to cover it, as it conveyed so much of what we’ve struggled to express in recent months. The original “October Rain” was deemed “too political” for the world stage, leading to the release of a more neutral version, “Hurricane.” I am sharing “October Rain” in its raw, authentic form to voice our nation’s true sentiments. May the floods dry up with the warm sunshine of Moshiach’s arrival!

Lyrics:

Writers of the history
Stand with me
Look into my eyes and see
People go away but never say goodbye

Someone stole the moon tonight
Took my light
Everything is black and white
Who’s the fool who told you boys don’t cry?

Hours and hours and flowers
Life is no game for the cowards
Why does time go wild

Every day I’m losing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
Dancing in the storm
We got nothing to hide
Take me home
And leave the world behind

And I promise you that never again
I’m still wet from this October rain
October rain

Living in a fantasy
Ecstasy
Everything’s meant to be
We shall pass but love will never die

Hours and hours and flowers
Life is no game for the cowards
Why does time go wild

Every day I’m losing my mind
Holding on in this mysterious ride
Dancing in the storm
We got nothing to hide
Take me home

And leave the world behind
And I promise you that never again
I’m still wet from this October rain
October rain
October rain

לא צריך מילים גדולות, רק תפילות
אפילו אם קשה לראות
תמיד אתה משאיר לי אור אחד קטן
