The Lion, the Witch and the Jewish Russian American in the Wardrobe
This is part 11 of 13 in the series Songs You Really Have To Listen To
Every Jewish person that becomes successful abroad is treated here as an Honorary Israeli: Natalie (Hershlag) Portman, Gene (Chaim Witz) Simmons, the girl in the Yes We Can video - basically if you have experienced worldwide success, no matter how vague your connection to the Holy Land, or how long it has been since you last visited - Israelis will find a way to not only prove you were always one of us, but that your success is directly linked to your being one of us.
I tell you… those Israelis will grasp at anything…
Singer-songwriter and Honorary Israeli Regina Spektor was one of the artists chosen to sing for the new Narnia film released last week. Have a listen and see if you like the song as much as I and Perez did:

Regina Spektor - The Call - Lyrics
|
It started out as a feeling Which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought Which then turned into a quiet word And then that word grew louder and louder ’till it was a battle cry I’ll come back.. Just because everything’s changing Pick a star on the dark horizon Now we’re back to the beginning Let your memories grow stonger and stonger You’ll come back |
Shahar Golan
