SINGLE REVIEW: SHIV (ft. Joshua Elyashiv) - Wishing
'Wishing' is not just a song; it's a heartfelt tribute born from the depths of personal tragedy and resilience. Written in the aftermath of one of the band losing two family members in the October attacks in Israel, this track serves as a beacon of hope and solidarity for anyone impacted by war, loss, and the yearning for something more.
From the moment the first notes hit, 'Wishing' envelops listeners in its charming and picturesque sound. The vocals, wonderfully serene and thoughtful, carry the weight of the deeply personal narrative behind the song. It's clear that every word is imbued with empathy and understanding, resonating with those who have experienced similar pain and longing.
The simple instrumentation allows the song's story to take centre stage, emphasising the raw emotion and vulnerability at its core. Through its evocative lyrics and emotive melodies, 'Wishing' captures the complexities of grief, resilience, and the universal desire for a better tomorrow.
Ultimately, 'Wishing' is more than just music; it's a message of inspiration and hope, a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable loss and turmoil, there is strength in unity and the power to envision a brighter future. It's a song that speaks to the heart and soul, offering solace and solidarity to all who listen.
