0:00:07.626,0:00:09.127
(Guitar music)

0:00:38.515,0:00:42.471
(Singing) Don’t want[br]to preach to no one tonight

0:00:42.472,0:00:45.312
Just want to tell my tale

0:00:45.313,0:00:48.956
When the sun will rise tomorrow

0:00:48.957,0:00:52.324
It will shed a light[br]on some facts from hell

0:00:53.804,0:00:57.360
Clouds are floating in the sky

0:00:57.361,0:00:59.900
Shift the mood so fast

0:00:59.901,0:01:03.792
Like on the streets of Jerusalem

0:01:03.793,0:01:08.156
Where the quiet’s not meant to last

0:01:08.157,0:01:11.057
I'm gonna find you tonight

0:01:11.058,0:01:14.487
I'm gonna count from one to three

0:01:14.488,0:01:18.279
I'm gonna feel the peace within me

0:01:18.280,0:01:22.740
With you right here next to me

0:01:27.601,0:01:31.419
I was born into this reality

0:01:31.420,0:01:33.811
I was brought up with a war

0:01:33.812,0:01:37.688
It doesn’t mean I must accept this

0:01:37.689,0:01:40.891
Don’t wanna fight no more

0:01:42.001,0:01:44.504
Young people from all over

0:01:44.505,0:01:47.832
Stray away and cross the lines

0:01:47.833,0:01:51.516
It’s a dialogue that we’re seeking

0:01:51.517,0:01:54.805
And we’re running out of time

0:01:55.625,0:01:58.600
I'm gonna find you tonight

0:01:58.601,0:02:01.880
I'm gonna count from one to three

0:02:01.881,0:02:05.493
I'm gonna feel the peace within me

0:02:05.494,0:02:10.259
With you right here next to me

0:02:21.523,0:02:24.471
I'm gonna find you tonight

0:02:24.472,0:02:27.458
I'm gonna count from one to three

0:02:27.459,0:02:31.001
I'm gonna feel the peace within me

0:02:31.025,0:02:35.031
With you right here next to me

0:02:35.032,0:02:37.651
I'm gonna find you tonight

0:02:37.652,0:02:40.991
I'm gonna count from one to three

0:02:40.992,0:02:44.576
I'm gonna feel the peace within me

0:02:44.577,0:02:48.471
With you right here next to me

0:02:48.472,0:02:51.471
With you right here next to me

0:02:51.472,0:02:55.263
With you right here

0:02:57.243,0:03:00.455
Next to me

0:03:00.456,0:03:03.169
(Singing and music ends)

0:03:03.170,0:03:04.622
(Applause)

0:03:10.503,0:03:11.792
Thank you.

0:03:11.793,0:03:16.420
It's a real honor to be here,[br]be part of this wonderful day,

0:03:16.421,0:03:20.920
listening to so many inspiring[br]stories and discoveries.

0:03:22.880,0:03:27.463
My discovery is just[br]the power of music really,

0:03:27.464,0:03:31.040
and it has taken me 38 years of a career

0:03:31.041,0:03:35.820
to really understand it,[br]and to bring it forward, and to use it,

0:03:35.821,0:03:41.267
not just here in Jerusalem, in Israel,[br]in the Middle East but wherever I go.

0:03:41.268,0:03:42.772
I don't mean to fix the world,

0:03:42.773,0:03:45.648
and I don't think that I'm going[br]to change the world at all,

0:03:45.649,0:03:49.615
I'm going to change my world,[br]and this is what makes me happy.

0:03:50.125,0:03:52.920
I started my career 38 years ago.

0:03:53.490,0:03:58.777
I started just by playing love songs,[br]I still play love songs.

0:03:58.778,0:04:01.167
But it's those places[br]where I play those love songs

0:04:01.168,0:04:03.349
that make a difference for me.

0:04:03.350,0:04:07.607
And I think, and I hope, and I try[br]to make a difference on others

0:04:07.608,0:04:12.041
as I entertain and play[br]in some impossible situations:

0:04:12.042,0:04:16.447
could be by a bedside in a hospital,[br]could be in a war zone,

0:04:16.449,0:04:19.591
could be just in an accident area,

0:04:19.593,0:04:24.282
or just some bereaved people,[br]and parents, and friends.

0:04:24.962,0:04:29.716
But this story that I want[br]to tell you, briefly,

0:04:29.717,0:04:33.912
which belongs to an album actually,

0:04:33.913,0:04:39.004
and this song that I just sang,[br]"One to Three", is the first song

0:04:39.005,0:04:41.399
that I wrote for this album.

0:04:41.400,0:04:44.875
It's an album that is called[br]"East Jerusalem West Jerusalem".

0:04:44.876,0:04:48.679
It wasn't really the name[br]I thought this would be,

0:04:48.680,0:04:52.850
but it's how it happened[br]and how it worked out to be.

0:04:53.510,0:04:56.511
I'd been working all my life

0:04:56.512,0:05:00.831
- besides doing music and playing -

0:05:00.832,0:05:05.245
in manifestations, being socially active,

0:05:05.246,0:05:07.859
but I never talked about it,[br]I never really recorded it,

0:05:07.860,0:05:13.281
never really wanted to profess[br]about it, or brag about it.

0:05:13.671,0:05:16.523
But this is a time when I felt[br]that I could, and I had to.

0:05:16.524,0:05:19.012
I've been working here in East Jerusalem

0:05:19.013,0:05:22.471
for the past 16 years, since 1999.

0:05:22.472,0:05:24.991
I don't know if I should call it work.

0:05:24.992,0:05:28.043
Most of the time, me and my friends,

0:05:28.044,0:05:31.841
who are very prominent[br]Palestinian musicians and artists,

0:05:32.441,0:05:34.571
I don't think we play music[br]most of the time.

0:05:34.572,0:05:40.187
We have coffee, we have[br]a lot of kebab, a lot of salads,

0:05:40.188,0:05:44.436
a lot of downtime;[br]most of the time, we just hang out.

0:05:44.437,0:05:47.500
And I'm always ready[br]with my guitar to sit and play,

0:05:47.501,0:05:51.491
but there is also something that you learn[br]about building a relationship,

0:05:51.492,0:05:53.795
and that is building a relationship:

0:05:53.796,0:05:57.511
caring about those who you're with,[br]listening to them, laughing,

0:05:57.512,0:06:01.119
making stupid jokes[br]even on the most awkward situations

0:06:01.120,0:06:05.431
of which there are so many here[br]in the Middle East.

0:06:05.432,0:06:10.407
We've been through Intifadas[br]and we've been through wars,

0:06:10.408,0:06:12.035
and we've always kept together.

0:06:12.036,0:06:16.680
I've always come up from Tel Aviv[br]- which is my home -

0:06:17.380,0:06:19.973
driving into East Jerusalem,

0:06:19.974,0:06:24.378
feeling the safest I could ever feel[br]amongst my friends and my peers.

0:06:25.168,0:06:28.699
Sixteen years of this friendship,

0:06:28.700,0:06:31.633
calmly and actually[br]in a very Middle Eastern fashion

0:06:31.634,0:06:35.544
which, I think, the motto of it,[br]somewhat of like the Spaniards,

0:06:35.545,0:06:40.709
who, I've learned to know over the years,[br]always use the "mañana" term,

0:06:40.727,0:06:44.041
as to "Don't rush, can do it tomorrow."

0:06:44.042,0:06:47.918
Well, here in the Middle East, we say,[br]in Arabic one says, "Shwy shwy."

0:06:47.938,0:06:50.287
Slowly, slowly, one step at a time.

0:06:50.288,0:06:53.401
See, as an Israeli,[br]I want to tick it all at once.

0:06:53.402,0:06:57.188
I have an idea, I want to have it,[br]haven't happened the next day.

0:06:57.708,0:06:59.383
But that is not the way things are.

0:06:59.384,0:07:02.079
It's not only about Palestine,[br]or Israel, or Middle East,

0:07:02.080,0:07:05.783
this would be the same about any[br]of the indigenous people around the world.

0:07:05.784,0:07:10.823
Ancient people have much longer[br]time to figure things out.

0:07:10.824,0:07:15.869
So about four years ago,[br]one of my friends, a Palestinian musician,

0:07:15.870,0:07:21.811
said to me, "So, David, when are you going[br]to bring that project of yours together

0:07:21.812,0:07:25.151
that you've talked about[br]so many times ever so often?"

0:07:25.152,0:07:26.511
I was just waiting for that.

0:07:26.512,0:07:31.944
Because I thought I was the one who had[br]the burning fire in me to get it happen.

0:07:33.498,0:07:35.277
Well, he didn't finish that sentence,

0:07:35.278,0:07:38.399
and already my head[br]was working in triple mode,

0:07:38.400,0:07:40.543
I was running in my head,[br]"How do I do it?"

0:07:40.544,0:07:41.849
So I started writing songs.

0:07:41.850,0:07:46.209
I told them, "Don't worry, I'll bring[br]the production here into the studio."

0:07:46.210,0:07:47.613
And I started writing songs,

0:07:47.614,0:07:51.515
the first of which is the one I opened[br]this conversation with, "One to Three".

0:07:51.516,0:07:53.273
I wrote more songs,

0:07:53.274,0:07:57.299
and all of them came out in English,[br]and all of them were telling the story.

0:07:57.300,0:08:00.470
To some degree, it's a personal[br]story mixed with love,

0:08:00.471,0:08:03.457
to some degree,[br]it's anxiety, anxiousness,

0:08:03.458,0:08:05.263
wanting to see the end to war,

0:08:05.264,0:08:08.408
I don't know how and why it so happened.

0:08:09.188,0:08:11.011
But then I had to recruit and bring

0:08:11.012,0:08:15.503
the musicians[br]and the production into place.

0:08:15.504,0:08:19.093
I thought, you know, that the music[br]would be the biggest obstacle.

0:08:19.094,0:08:21.625
All these years I've been out here

0:08:21.667,0:08:24.084
in East Jerusalem,[br]with my Palestinian friends,

0:08:24.086,0:08:28.895
it was just me from Tel Aviv,[br]sometime my kids, my wife,

0:08:28.896,0:08:30.283
but I was alone.

0:08:30.284,0:08:34.215
None of my musicians ever really[br]accepted an invitation.

0:08:34.216,0:08:36.215
They were rather reluctant to come

0:08:36.216,0:08:39.727
when they found out[br]they were busy doing other things.

0:08:39.729,0:08:43.629
But this time, as I was progressing[br]with this production,

0:08:44.300,0:08:46.460
I thought, OK, let's tackle[br]the first hurdle,

0:08:46.461,0:08:50.202
let's see if my Israeli band[br]would come from Tel Aviv for once

0:08:50.203,0:08:54.251
and see what I see, feel what I feel,[br]and experience this wonderful place,

0:08:54.252,0:08:57.876
and the comradery that can be built[br]and that can be a bridge,

0:08:57.876,0:09:02.929
and that can make us happier[br]and feel safer with each other.

0:09:02.930,0:09:06.660
So on a way to show in this crammed van,

0:09:06.661,0:09:11.236
as I was portraying to my friends[br]what music I was writing,

0:09:12.046,0:09:15.491
and that I was about to go to the studio[br]to produce the next album,

0:09:15.492,0:09:17.559
I could see that their ears were perked

0:09:17.560,0:09:20.289
and they were really[br]eager to be part of it,

0:09:20.290,0:09:25.444
but I was not inviting them yet,[br]I just got their interest, all focused.

0:09:26.124,0:09:28.479
A day later, on another trip to a show,

0:09:28.480,0:09:32.159
I told them, "I'm thinking of inviting[br]you, guys, to this production."

0:09:32.160,0:09:34.010
And everybody is, "Yes! So cool!

0:09:34.011,0:09:37.520
We can't wait to do an album[br]once again with you."

0:09:37.521,0:09:40.935
I said, "Yeah, but we're going to do it[br]in the studio in East Jerusalem,

0:09:40.936,0:09:43.047
It's a Palestinian studio."

0:09:43.048,0:09:46.551
And right away, the conversation[br]went elsewhere.

0:09:46.552,0:09:50.059
Suddenly, we were talking[br]about general news issues

0:09:50.060,0:09:54.703
and just nerve-wrecking stories[br]that were not of interest to me.

0:09:54.704,0:09:58.572
Anyhow, I realized that I'm going[br]to have to work a little longer.

0:09:58.573,0:10:00.090
The following day, I'm asking,

0:10:00.091,0:10:04.351
"OK, I'm thinking of really booking[br]the studio now. I'd like you to come."

0:10:04.352,0:10:05.558
They said, "Well...

0:10:05.559,0:10:07.427
Suddenly, and for the first time,

0:10:07.428,0:10:11.299
- see, we're a bunch of men[br]in this band of mine,

0:10:11.300,0:10:15.522
and, well, rock-and-rollers[br]are supposedly tough guys -

0:10:15.523,0:10:18.557
and suddenly, there is, "Well, OK...

0:10:18.558,0:10:19.887
- unanimously -

0:10:19.888,0:10:21.711
we're going to ask our wives."

0:10:21.712,0:10:23.167
(Laughter)

0:10:23.168,0:10:24.729
OK, tough guys.

0:10:24.730,0:10:26.513
(Laughter)

0:10:27.155,0:10:29.068
The next day, I wait.

0:10:30.038,0:10:34.716
I mean, we're in a crammed van,[br]no one can get away here.

0:10:36.018,0:10:39.655
And they say, "Well, the wives[br]are kind of reluctant, you know,

0:10:39.656,0:10:43.488
they don't want to be left alone[br]just with the kids..."

0:10:43.489,0:10:45.295
So I'm saying, "Wait a second.

0:10:45.296,0:10:48.296
First of all, I promise you[br]we're going to do it in 8 days."

0:10:48.297,0:10:51.949
Normally, an album can take weeks, months.[br]"We're going to do it in 8 days."

0:10:51.950,0:10:54.801
The only reason I said "8 days"[br]is that if I'd said "a week",

0:10:54.802,0:10:57.091
nobody would believe me[br]we could do it in a week.

0:10:57.092,0:10:59.841
"Eight days," that sounds[br]like a real, you know

0:10:59.842,0:11:01.345
(Laughter)

0:11:01.346,0:11:05.379
affordable and relaxed time[br]to make an album.

0:11:05.380,0:11:08.399
They said, "OK, well,[br]you know, we'll ask..."

0:11:08.400,0:11:11.543
I said, "No, no. Just tell your wives[br]that they're welcome to come.

0:11:11.544,0:11:15.255
There is a wonderful hotel nearby,[br]and I'll take rooms for everyone."

0:11:15.256,0:11:17.811
So the wives, the next day,[br]the message that I got was

0:11:17.812,0:11:21.425
there was nobody who could[br]take care of the kids.

0:11:21.426,0:11:25.553
I said, "What? In-laws? Parents? Cousins?

0:11:25.554,0:11:28.749
Bring them too! Just bring[br]the whole neighbourhood!

0:11:28.750,0:11:29.853
(Laughter)

0:11:29.854,0:11:31.725
Let's make it into a real event."

0:11:31.726,0:11:35.112
Anyway, sure enough, I got them to commit.

0:11:35.113,0:11:36.969
Now I had to get a producer.

0:11:36.970,0:11:40.395
If I'm going to get a producer,[br]it'd better be, maybe, an American one,

0:11:40.396,0:11:43.704
because it is all in English,[br]I want it to be Americana,

0:11:43.709,0:11:46.979
more American-flavored,[br]internationally-flavored.

0:11:46.979,0:11:48.979
So I started making lists, and I thought,

0:11:48.980,0:11:51.619
"OK, if I'm going to turn[br]to every producer I want,

0:11:51.620,0:11:52.765
most of them will say no

0:11:52.766,0:11:56.147
because they aren't comfortable[br]coming to Israel because of the boycott.

0:11:56.148,0:11:57.961
I'll go to the most extreme one first,

0:11:57.962,0:12:01.763
the one who I respect his views,[br]but I know he's a hard one to crack."

0:12:01.764,0:12:03.063
So I called Steve Earle.

0:12:03.064,0:12:07.667
He's one of the most respected[br]singers-songwriters and opinion makers,

0:12:07.668,0:12:09.209
and a real activist.

0:12:09.210,0:12:12.251
I called him first, I knew he would be[br]off the list immediately.

0:12:12.252,0:12:14.605
I didn't finish the sentence[br]that I want to bring

0:12:14.606,0:12:17.791
Israeli and Palestinian musicians[br]in the studio in East Jerusalem,

0:12:17.792,0:12:21.245
and he said, "Hey, man! I'm on.[br]When? Just tell me."

0:12:21.246,0:12:22.935
"Wait! I don't even have a budget."

0:12:22.936,0:12:24.803
"Forget the budget. I'm just coming."

0:12:24.804,0:12:26.425
So now I had him.

0:12:26.426,0:12:29.227
I announced to the Israeli musicians,[br]"OK, guys, we're on."

0:12:29.228,0:12:33.383
I set the date for January 20, 2013.

0:12:33.384,0:12:36.091
Now I had to convince[br]my Palestinian musicians.

0:12:36.092,0:12:38.281
This was a bit of a hurdle.

0:12:38.282,0:12:40.539
Some of them come under a lot of pressure.

0:12:40.540,0:12:44.493
So I figured even if they don't come,[br]I'll just be there with my musicians.

0:12:44.494,0:12:49.958
But what I will do is I will bring[br]Israeli and Palestinian chefs

0:12:49.959,0:12:55.571
who'd make us incredible banquets[br]every night with Michelin food,

0:12:55.572,0:12:59.429
superb Israeli wine, even whiskey

0:12:59.430,0:13:02.769
for those who really want to drink[br]and just get loosened up.

0:13:02.770,0:13:03.893
And you know what?

0:13:03.894,0:13:08.047
After the first night, when we had[br]over 100 people around the table,

0:13:08.048,0:13:11.791
- including the film crew[br]because I made a film out of it,

0:13:11.792,0:13:14.289
under the same name[br]"East Jerusalem West Jerusalem" -

0:13:14.290,0:13:17.327
we had all the musicians,[br]the engineers, and the waiters,

0:13:17.328,0:13:19.457
and then the friends,[br]and friends of friends,

0:13:19.458,0:13:21.867
and family, and wives, and children,

0:13:21.868,0:13:25.437
everybody was there,[br]I almost booked the entire hotel.

0:13:25.438,0:13:29.379
We spent eight days and eight nights,[br]and those Palestinian friends came,

0:13:29.380,0:13:35.767
and sure enough, after a couple[br]of glasses of wine and good food,

0:13:35.768,0:13:39.739
walked into the studio,[br]and we started playing together.

0:13:39.740,0:13:43.831
And eight days later, lo and behold,

0:13:43.832,0:13:47.951
I had my most beautiful album[br]recorded together with these people.

0:13:47.952,0:13:49.944
It was like a miraculous moment,

0:13:49.959,0:13:55.334
it was as if we had created[br]an utopic bubble in our world.

0:13:55.340,0:14:00.003
Now what we had to do is get on with it[br]and sing to the rest of the world

0:14:00.004,0:14:02.667
which is what I'm doing now[br]traveling around the world.

0:14:02.668,0:14:05.112
(Applause)

0:14:11.656,0:14:13.070
Thank you so much.

0:14:13.500,0:14:14.735
It's very inspiring,

0:14:14.736,0:14:18.305
and the most important thing[br]for me was to inspire others

0:14:18.306,0:14:23.241
to dare, to go over[br]that threshold, don't be afraid.

0:14:23.242,0:14:27.923
I don't know if you are a doctor,[br]an architect, a masseuse,

0:14:27.924,0:14:32.343
a poet, a philosopher; just engage!

0:14:32.344,0:14:33.683
Engage with out neighbours,

0:14:33.684,0:14:38.265
with our friends across the street,[br]across the wall, across any place,

0:14:38.266,0:14:43.236
whether you're in Israel, Palestine,[br]whether you're in Colombia, in Mexico,

0:14:43.250,0:14:49.119
whether you're in the Latin quarters[br]in some, so to speak, bad neighborhood,

0:14:49.120,0:14:50.287
don't be afraid!

0:14:50.288,0:14:51.905
Don't be afraid to cross over.

0:14:51.906,0:14:55.343
We're only people, and everybody[br]wants the same thing:

0:14:55.344,0:14:59.659
to feel safe by knowing each other,[br]or feeling each other out,

0:14:59.660,0:15:01.751
and knowing what to watch out for.

0:15:01.752,0:15:05.259
Don't believe the stories,[br]make them yourselves.

0:15:05.260,0:15:06.984
(Applause)

0:15:12.418,0:15:15.521
I started with the most recent[br]song that I've recorded.

0:15:15.522,0:15:20.163
I would like to, perhaps,[br]conclude this part of mine,

0:15:20.164,0:15:24.250
and perhaps, the entire event[br]- I believe I'm concluding the event -

0:15:25.070,0:15:27.585
with the first song I ever recorded.

0:15:27.586,0:15:31.864
This is the song I wrote[br]in 1977, 38 years ago.

0:15:31.876,0:15:34.990
It was November,[br]when the President Anwar Sadat of Egypt

0:15:34.991,0:15:37.699
set foot on Israeli soil[br]for the first time.

0:15:37.700,0:15:41.491
Watching this happen [was][br]the most unbelievable moment

0:15:41.492,0:15:47.082
for my generation and others,[br]my parents' generation, and grandparents'.

0:15:47.083,0:15:50.375
I was with my good friend,[br]Israeli poet Yehonatan Geffen,

0:15:50.412,0:15:51.998
watching this,

0:15:51.999,0:15:54.711
as he was writing down[br]feverishly this poem,

0:15:54.712,0:15:57.709
and then handed it to me, and said,[br]"Why don't you write music?"

0:15:57.710,0:16:00.819
As if saying, "Do something[br]with your life, you know." (Laughter)

0:16:00.820,0:16:03.051
"You're sitting and just watching."

0:16:03.052,0:16:06.411
So I wrote music to it,[br]he gave me two days.

0:16:06.412,0:16:09.342
And hence, I wrote this song[br]called "Things Will Be Better",

0:16:09.343,0:16:11.126
as we say, "Yihye Tov".

0:16:11.133,0:16:12.965
(Guitar music)

0:16:12.966,0:16:15.246
(Applause)

0:16:20.212,0:16:23.309
(Singing in Hebrew)[br]I'm looking out the window

0:16:23.310,0:16:26.310
And it makes me kind of sad

0:16:28.220,0:16:33.850
Spring has long gone,[br]who knows if it'll return

0:16:34.650,0:16:37.879
The clown has become a king

0:16:37.880,0:16:40.979
The prophet has become a clown

0:16:40.980,0:16:43.871
And I have forgotten the way

0:16:44.530,0:16:48.649
But I am still here

0:16:48.650,0:16:55.070
Things will be better,[br]things will be better

0:16:55.071,0:16:59.681
Though I sometimes break down

0:17:01.311,0:17:07.893
So tonight, oh, tonight

0:17:07.894,0:17:12.289
It's you I'm staying with

0:17:16.868,0:17:22.786
Children wear wings,[br]and they fly off to the army

0:17:23.496,0:17:25.791
And after a couple of years

0:17:25.792,0:17:29.370
They come back with no answer

0:17:29.371,0:17:35.387
People live in stress[br]looking for a reason to breath

0:17:35.967,0:17:38.590
And between hatred and murder

0:17:38.591,0:17:43.737
They talk about peace

0:17:43.738,0:17:49.471
Things will be better,[br]things will be better

0:17:49.472,0:17:53.947
Though I sometimes break down

0:17:55.557,0:18:01.017
So tonight, oh, tonight

0:18:01.997,0:18:06.717
It's you I'm staying with

0:18:10.267,0:18:13.706
Up there in the sky

0:18:13.707,0:18:17.206
Clouds are learning how to fly

0:18:17.207,0:18:19.860
And I look up

0:18:19.861,0:18:22.666
And see a hijacked plane

0:18:23.261,0:18:26.190
A government of generals

0:18:26.191,0:18:28.770
Divide away the scenery

0:18:28.771,0:18:32.568
Into yours and ours

0:18:32.569,0:18:36.679
And no one sees the end of it

0:18:39.563,0:18:42.579
There came the president of Egypt

0:18:42.580,0:18:45.962
How rejoiced I was to see him

0:18:45.963,0:18:52.072
Pyramids in his eyes,[br]smoke of peace out of his pipe

0:18:52.073,0:18:57.780
We said, 'Let's make up[br]and live as brothers'

0:18:57.781,0:19:00.910
So he said, 'Let's do that

0:19:00.911,0:19:05.270
Just get out of the territories'

0:19:05.271,0:19:11.288
Things will be better,[br]things will be better, yeah

0:19:11.655,0:19:16.055
Though I sometimes break down

0:19:17.749,0:19:23.479
So tonight, oh, tonight

0:19:24.126,0:19:28.656
It's you I'm staying with.

0:19:32.383,0:19:36.094
(English) As I said, this song[br]was written 38 years ago.

0:19:37.670,0:19:40.161
Or I've been stuck with it[br]for 38 years, got to say

0:19:40.162,0:19:41.709
(Laughter)

0:19:41.710,0:19:43.460
(Applause)

0:19:46.682,0:19:49.254
but as with folk songs, you know,

0:19:50.520,0:19:54.559
they tend to expand and change with times.

0:19:54.560,0:19:57.685
Every time the peace process moved

0:19:57.686,0:20:00.927
to a positive moment,

0:20:01.727,0:20:05.063
I knew I was going to get a new verse

0:20:05.064,0:20:08.844
from my friend Yehonatan Geffen[br]who was still prolific in writing.

0:20:09.904,0:20:11.269
So there is endless--

0:20:11.270,0:20:15.001
I mean 38 years, you don't want me to sing[br]all the verses because we'd be here

0:20:15.002,0:20:16.359
(Laughter)

0:20:16.360,0:20:19.639
till sunset which is something[br]I'm used to (Laughter)

0:20:19.640,0:20:21.822
but not with one song.

0:20:22.980,0:20:28.195
So I'd like to conclude with one verse[br]that, I think, sums it all up.

0:20:29.745,0:20:31.522
And this one says

0:20:32.642,0:20:35.153
we should learn to live together

0:20:35.154,0:20:37.466
under the olive trees.

0:20:39.012,0:20:43.138
And that children will grow up[br]knowing no more war,

0:20:44.088,0:20:48.266
no terror, and no frontiers.

0:20:49.488,0:20:54.997
And that fresh, new grass will grow[br]over the graveyards for love and peace.

0:20:56.037,0:20:58.728
For after 100 years of war,

0:20:58.729,0:21:03.800
we haven't and will not lose hope.

0:21:05.244,0:21:10.266
(Singing in Hebrew) Some day[br]we'll learn how to live together

0:21:12.202,0:21:17.312
Under the olive trees

0:21:21.410,0:21:25.890
Children will live without fear

0:21:27.291,0:21:32.713
Without borders, without bomb shelters

0:21:36.167,0:21:42.497
On graves grass will grow

0:21:42.500,0:21:45.330
For peace

0:21:50.894,0:21:52.673
(Applause)

0:21:52.674,0:21:56.683
And love

0:21:56.684,0:22:01.353
A hundred years of sword

0:22:02.302,0:22:08.752
And the hope still hasn't died

0:22:10.990,0:22:14.429
Things will be better

0:22:14.430,0:22:15.762
(English) You can join!

0:22:15.763,0:22:18.782
(Hebrew) Things will be better

0:22:18.783,0:22:23.243
Though sometimes I break down

0:22:25.049,0:22:30.879
So tonight, oh, tonight

0:22:31.571,0:22:37.440
It's you I'm staying with

0:22:37.441,0:22:43.247
And things will be better,[br]things will be better

0:22:43.963,0:22:48.593
Sometimes I break down

0:22:50.224,0:22:55.899
So tonight, oh, tonight

0:22:56.609,0:23:01.360
It's you I'm staying with

0:23:04.892,0:23:07.922
I'm looking out of the window

0:23:07.931,0:23:09.900
Maybe

0:23:11.625,0:23:14.168
Maybe it's coming

0:23:14.774,0:23:21.264
It's coming, maybe a new day is coming

0:23:27.266,0:23:28.890
(Applause)

0:23:31.740,0:23:33.100
(Cheering)

0:23:38.348,0:23:39.661
Things will get better!

0:23:39.662,0:23:42.582
(Applause) (Cheering)
