My Review: Lital Hagayan - Like I Remember You

 My Review 

Lital Hagayan - Like I Remember You

Distances in the heart are avenues that gather wounds, smiles, memories.

When you would like to have people near you but you live of impediments, here is where memory offers its gentle, white, warm palm.

This is the third single for the girl from Tel Aviv, who confirms her ability to mix sweetness and depth, taking us into her inner nest inhabited by perfectly compacted images and sensitivity.

With a track that ranges through genres and references, everything seems to have been created to be remembered with simplicity and a desire to listen to it again.

The music is generous: it contemplates the kind of brushstrokes that Vini Reilly would greatly appreciate, an evident pain that through the notes makes visible the process of acceptance and development of this situation. And she turns pain into poetry with a veil that reveals all her maturity. 

We are greeted by words and sounds that open our arms as they tell of how there is always a desire to heal. Sometimes Pink Floyd appear in the vocals, but with respect and not as plagiarism. One inevitably ends up listening to all the class of this woman, who shows her strength and fragility with non-stop feather flights. 

If pain has to be washed, then in Lital's heart music seems to do it charmingly.

Three years ago, Tel Aviv University discovered that plants also suffer. And Lital is one of them, healing by creating her heavenly music.

And if there are fragile areas, she leads them to victory: this song is a painful cradle, but one that brings to sleep all that is contrary to well-being, with the capacity for transformation that must have taken a lot out of her.

You can dream anyway, you can dance to the track carried by a gentle wind; you can cry with dignity when these sonorous birches are loaded with winter lights, with the voice that seems to come on the tail of the wind so as not to frighten us.

Another wing full of class envelops us: the girl from Tel Aviv will know how to bewitch with her album those who have kindness in their hearts.
