Yshai Afterman Quintet - One Day - Album recording session
The song is called “One Day“ and the video was taken in the studio while we recorded the album!
I wrote this song during a period in my life that I was touring 160 days a year on average.
Its a prayer for myself to find the strength to look truthfuly on my path and see what are my real dreams and what are phantom ones that I took upon myself.
“One day I will stop this endless run,
Save myself from my self -
My life is too important to be wasted on images.
I’m addicted to images -
there is nothing there!
How can I ignore the fact that one day I will die -
and I will ask myself how could I?!
How could I be so blind - a slave to all of these lies?!
These phantom ambitions have taken over my life!
I know love will be the only thing to hold when I die.
So I’v got to find the power to leave them all,
and open my eyes -
See the colors in the skies when the sun sets over the sea...
I just want to return to simplicity.“
Big thanks to my amazing quintet:

And of course, to Orel Oshrat, for his amazing piano playing and for creating the music with me.
