Andy Furnas: Tutim

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5C2LJE2SYfE

This is a video for the song "Tutim" by Ethnix. It is a song in Hebrew about how instead of making war we should go and buy and eat strawberries! It is incredible how it is edited together so that we see images of war in the middle east, images of really really, cute babies eating strawberries, and the images of the person playing the piano. I especially like the section from 25seconds to 45 seconds where it goes through a set of images related to war interspersed by the piano. Here is a copy of the lyrics for all of us who don't understand Hebrew! The song title, "Tutim" means Strawberries. The line "Your Grenade is not fruit" doesn't really make sense in English, but in Hebrew the word for Grenade is also the word for a type of fruit.

Strawberries:

The coldness in your garden against the warmth of my garden
the bunker to your left against the artillery shell in my hand
your grenade is not fruit and it's ready in your hand here,
they are each ready in my rifle magazine.

Chorus:
The light goes up from the east,
a new day has arrived.
The two of us will overcome the terror
Strawberries, strawberries, come we'll buy only strawberries
Instead of other war-machines.


You blocked the bed with many sandbags,
and on your head is the helmet from the bunker on the left
You wished that my soul'd be bound forever,
here, they are each ready in my rifle magazine.

Repeat Chorus
