Monday Matchup :: Simple Isn't Easy • Lipa/Shloime Gertner

In the first, struggle-riddled song, Lipa describes how hard it is walk the walk. "I may not be the best...but I do try my best... The army's chef is still in the army... I'm not the greatest but I am trying hard; 'Tatty! Help me when I try!'"



In the second, reflective-mellow song, Shloime Gertner asserts that the Master of the world appreciates simple, honest steadfastness. "Oy, Riboin haoilomim, heint b'acharis hayumim... Oh G-d, today, the way we live, it's really hard to be wholesome...but I'll do what I can"

Plot twist: They're both by Lipa ;)

Yehi Chasdecha • Shloime Gertner

Often lauded on this blog for his gentle, sweet vocals, we may now comment on his photogenicism.

Yehi Chasdecha, composed and backed by Yossi Green—Ah! and Eek! respectively. Arranged by Moshe Laufer, Ahhh! all the way, especially that cadence trailing off at 4:20...ahhh!

Peretz, the guy's number is on the back. Give him a call. Give him your pitch. This layout/design is killing whales and it has to stop.
