Amit Erez is a member of the band Eatliz that was previously featured here and a singer/songwriter with mad guitar skills and an ear for melodies very few singer/songwriters can rival. This guy has so many good songs, it made the choice which ones to feature impossible. These three tracks should give you a pretty good idea how phenomenal he really is:
Heart Away
Lyrics
So we live in a bus stop
A crossroad next to our love
I think I know what i’m after
But I’m not sure if it matters
Used to say my heart away
And ruin a beautiful night
Caused a crying instead of lying
Changing my mind all the time
Might be wrong to believe me
That everyone feels the same way
Blowing smoke while they’re leaving
Their memories in the ashtray
Wrap their pain in cellophane
So no one will know it’s around
Never saw you as one of them
except for a couple of times
Used to say my heart away
And ruin a beautiful night
Caused a crying instead of lying
Changing my mind all the time
Whenever The Sun Comes
Lyrics
I can’t even say it loud enough
The motion is real and terrible
aside of the broken promises
there’s a window of light and glow
why do you scare off animals
to the horizon, Emily?
and do you define your innocence
as a picture of fiery gold?
whenever the sun comes to rape me
whenever the sun comes
I’ll have a quiet holiday
making assumptions endlessly
she wants to practice medicine
on the people who die the most
if I had to venture anyplace
never to see you anymore
would you allow me to retain
all the passion I’ve had for you before?
whenever the sun came to rape me
whenever the sun came
Love Again
Lyrics
IT’S WEARING ME OUT
JUST LIKE A CLOUD OVER MY HEAD
AND CLOUDS AREN’T KNOWN
FOR TRAVELING ALONE
NOR TO BE NEEDED
AND IN SOME DAYS
WHEN THEY BLOCK THE SUN
I GET A STRANGE DESIRE
LEAVING EVERYONE
SLEEP THOUGH I’M BARELY TIRED
AND PEOPLE COME BY
THEY CALL ME A LIAR
YOU WILL LOVE AGAIN
JUST AS THE SUMMER IS KICKING IN
IN TOTAL RUSH
YOU FAIL TO SEE
ANYTHING’S BETTER THAN MEMORIES
YOUR LIFE GETS CRUSHED
I’M SORRY TO SAY
I DON’T WANNA PLAY ANY LONGER
IT’S PUTTING ME ON
THAT SOMETHING MIGHT GROW
HIGHER AND STRONGER
BUT THE TRUTH IS EVERYTHING’S THE SAME
JUST AS IT WAS BEFORE
PEOPLE CALL YOU NAMES
I NEVER KEEP THE SCORE
SOME SAY YOU’RE FAKE
AND OTHERS ADORE
YOU WILL LOVE AGAIN
JUST AS THE SUMMER IS KICKING IN
IN TOTAL RUSH
YOU FAIL TO SEE
ANYTHING’S BETTER THAN MEMORIES
YOUR LIFE GETS CRUSHED
