00:00My history informs a lot of what I do, and how I live, and what I think about, and what
00:15I choose to act on.
00:17It's another country.
00:19We go to some other place when we perform.
00:22That is the safest place in my life, and yet I'm completely exposed.
00:29When you fall in love, can you describe what's that?
00:32You just can't.
00:33And that's the same with people that you are working with, and that you have this special
00:37connection, which is like falling in love with somebody, but through music.
00:41There's so much joy about, oh, how interesting, we come from so different places, and look,
00:46in art, we meet.
00:59If I do a song like this, Brent, which is basically about the burning of the Jewish
01:04community, we realize that there was a direct parallel to the world of Merima, whose world
01:11also burned.
01:14Suddenly, my song was also her song.
01:26During the war, if you imagine all the craziness, I realized how important music was for me.
01:35Even if they try to teach you how to hate, you can't, because deep in you is this love,
01:42which is coming from music.
01:59With every fiber in our bodies, we know that love is stronger than hate.
02:05We'll say it, and we'll sing it in every language we can.
