at last: The beloved composer and musician Avitar Banai released this morning (Thursday) a new album dealing with his feelings during the war. On the occasion of the release of the album, Banai wrote about his feelings during the war and the timing: “In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo the Hobbit is standing by the boat, and he has to choose whether to board it and go on a hero’s journey into hell or go back. Then he remembered the sentence that old Gandalf told him: “No one I don’t choose to see days like this, but you weren’t asked that. The question you are being asked is what you choose to do with the remaining time.”
“I can turn and run, and I can choose to get on the boat”
Banai continued: “I’m 51 years old. 19 more years until I’m 70. A veteran singer. Married to Ruth for 20 years. Five grown children already. My father and older brother passed away, my mother has been suffering from Alzheimer’s for years, living in a torn Israeli society. No speech. Place. Shades. Hello. Unbearably difficult war at the hands of populist politicians, existential danger, grief and pain without end.”
“I too, like Frodo the Hobbit, like all of us actually, stand by the boat and have to choose, I can turn around and run away, and I can choose to get on the boat and try to live and act, just for today at least, what I believe in,” Banai wrote. “There are many good people around me, children, parents and people of action, full of courage and hope rowing in small boats and hoping their way to the good. And me, what do I choose to do with the remaining time? I’m celebrating a new album in the midst of a war. It’s absurd and it’s a must. Have a good time “.
