about

A new song by Anat Porat from her upcoming album “Back To New”, 
which will be released this summer.

In this song, Anat touches on gaps between reality and dreams

between the daily life, and the desired getaways.

Daniel Wisman’s arrangement and musical production

highlights the guitars alongside the vocals, in layers of tenderness and tension.

lyrics

When we went away just you and I for a few days alone
I left behind all the noise and worries and I just was myself
.and so were you and it was liberating, it was new
When we went away and I knew that everything would be ok
and so it was, and we could be reminded of all that lies within
beneath the daily stresses and ordeals
Magical days away with you

Then, we came back home,
and out of all the corners our habits crawled back in
and all the magic disappeared into thin air j
ust like a d r e a m
It disappeared like a dream
Diving right back into the puddle that is our life

When we went away
after all these years you looked at me that way
it made me feel like we were 17 you swept me off my feet
.and it was liberating and so sweet
When we went away it felt so natural
but I knew we couldn't stay like this forever
every dream comes to an end , that's how life is
with all the daily stresses and ordeals
what can we do? that's how life is

When we went away
After all these years you looked at me that way
When we went away
And I knew that everything would be ok
When we went away
It felt so natural but I knew we couldn't stay

We're diving right back into the puddle that is our lives
