Greetings dearest gentle readers let’s welcome Israeli artist Roi Aknin who has released a song called “We’re in the Same Boat (don’t Let Us Drown”). The song was released on 24th October and is inspired by the recent attacks against the country. Let’s talk more about this single
The song opens with these soft and intricate piano sounds and when Roi starts to sing you will be blown away by how good the vocals sound
Through a potent pop ballad, the song explores grief, loss, and the universal human experience of adversity in a gloomy manner. On the one-year “anniversary” of the somber October 7th, (“a year has passed, another will come”)Israeli songwriter Roi Aknin wrote the song. The song also speaks on how we need each other in this life, if we take this song apart lyric by lyric and talk about it literally, imagine you find yourself and someone very very different in every single way and might even hate, when both of you see a shore ahead and are in a storm, you literally need to work together so both of you can survive and make it to the shore(“please don’t let me drown”)
You can feel the emotions through Roi’s deeply emotive performance. The violin sounds inculcated into the song mixed perfectly with the intricate, operatic, and moving piano sound and it will move you deeply
“We’re in the same both (don’t let us drown”) is more than just a song, it educates people on how the survivors of the Israel tragedy still have the horrific experience fresh in their memories and how it affects them till this very day. The song preaches unity and community to ensure survival. Kudos to Roi for sharing this very important message through the song. Roi has opened listeners’ eyes to what happened a year ago. Roi is very talented and will go very far in the music industry
