Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain, As you start out the climb. Listen for me, I’ll be shouting. We’re gonna make it all the way to the light. But you know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight/U2

I'm feeling optimistic for a change, haven't felt it for months now. Changes every where, good things, happy things-i want some of that. I deserve it-most us do!!! A good friend gave me a blessing that new good things will happen to me very soon. It got me thinking: these new good things-can they happen only with new people...or also with people i already know, already experienced things with. And the answer is heck yes: If we are lucky enough, we get to change all the time. Time, experiences, new self discoveries-they all do their thing. It makes us new to ourselves and others.

These two weeks in New-York did me a world of good. My family, friends, the city, THE FOOD. Two weeks of the the best meat and Häagen-Dazs. The few things that i missed was our radio. So here we go-The new season is here, and i will take my place on the stage this week. While i was in N.Y., i meet people that listen to our radio, to my show, and they love it. That was an amazing experience for me-meeting people from a different continent that listen to my shows, love the music that i play. It makes them feel good.

This up coming week both shows are back: Tuesday 11-13pm, two hours of great music. Wednesday 21-23pm musical journey- we are going to have a threesome. That's right- a threesome-I bet you are dying to find out what i mean...there's only one to do that. Central Jerusalem time. See ya!

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

I love the way you look tonight, With your hair hangin down on your shoulders... I love the way you move tonight, Beads of sweat drippin down your skin, Me lying here and you lyin there, Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere./B.A.

Yearning is a hazardous feeling. It makes us want certain things...and the wanting leads to action. At least, thats the way it is with me. Otherwise you get stuck in the fantasy stage, without the actual living. The first taste of it is very addictive, but it tastes so good. You never know where it would lead but all the roads lead to the same place. So many poets and artists said more then ones, that the road itself is importent just as the destination. So true, so true. These days the thing is to castrate the emotions, not to feel, not to get attached. Its less frightening that way, believe me-i know it all to well. But there's something so soothing in laying your head on somebody elses shoulder, closing your eyes and letting go....falling asleep together, be capable to let go and rest through the night together...

Of course music has a big part in it. We often feel all these things but cant express them, can't find the exact words. Sometimes the melody is enough to start the flames, to engage the passion. From there-its up to us! theres an idea for an albom: "soundtrack of passion"...yammi

Tonight's musical journey-songs for the night..here we go!!!

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

Come into these arms again, And lay your body down. The rhythm of this trembling heart Is beating like a drum.....Oh loneliness - oh hopelessness, To search the ends of time, For there is in all the world No greater love than mine./Annie L.

There's a darkness in everyone of us. It's deep, sometimes black/white, other times colorfull. Sometimes it keeps it silence, other times loud-inside and out. Makes noise, blurts out sounds and half words that only our subconscious can make sense. What triggers it? whats awakens it from its slumber?
It's all a game of association really,: a word, a smell, a snap shot from a movie. A song...a song...
And then the flood of emotions begins. It starts slowly, like the cracking of a dam by a flow of water. It builds up and catches speed, till the dam is crushed and broken, totally destroyed. And then there's no protection from the flood of emotions that are running trough your veins. The memories are back with a vengeance, and with them the teers, the brokeness, and the hopes of the past. Next comes the old and agonizing question, what's for the future???

I honestly believe that, that is up to us. Our future, God gave us the power to choose. Yes, so many paths in one life time. And if we listen closely, there's a whisper in our ear that guides us to the right path. The whisper comes from above, from the same light that gives us second and sometimes a third chance. The power to grab that chance is up to us, no one will do that job for us. So we can run away from it cause its hard and scares the shit out of us. Or we can run towards it. So what will it be???

Tonight's musical journey is to the songs for the night. As always, we'll take it together!

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

The line it is drawn, The curse it is cast. The slow one now Will later be fast. As the present now Will later be past. The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last, For the times they are a-changin./ Bob Dylan

In this world of ours, what goes around-comes around. Justice maybe takes time, but it comes and when it does-it washes
everything in its path. We can't just hurt someone and get away with it-it just doesn't work that way. Most of all, that notion, that realization, gives a deep feeling of hope. There's more good in this world then evil. There's more light then darkness, and more people that allow themselves to love and feel then those who are emotionally castrated. There's hope for evevryone, it's never too late. And, if we are lucky enough, we'll get a third and a forth chance as well.

These days i feel it the most, maybe because my birthday is this week-June 1. I love that date, the beginning of summer, of light and warmth. Birthdays are good times to reflect the past, the future and beyond. With no doubt, one of this year great surprises, gifts and achievements, is our radio. A long time dream, come true.

So, how will we celebrate the occasion? this Wednesday night, our Wednesday night special between 9-11 pm, we'll take a journey to the great music, the songs that have changed me, effected me and made me the Maya i'm today.

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

I've conquered my past, The future is here at last, I stand at the entrance, To a new world I can see. The ruins to the right of me, Will soon have lost sight of me. Love rescue me!/U2

If it was only as easy as that, but it's not-it's a struggle. A struggle for us, that is sensed through out the song. That is one of the many gifts of music-to manifest our feelings, wishes, frustrations and hope, especially when we can't find the words ourselves. That has always been my relationship with music, especially with songs by U2 and Pearl Jam.

U2: we all have our stories, memories from our first time listening to a song, discavering a band, and from that point on, nothing has been the same. Its just like a relationship that builds its self up. It grows and grows to the point when that music-from that artist gives us understanding, comfort and hope. Sometimes that music saves us. That is my thing with U2 since i was 15.

This Wednesday night special at 9pm, we'll take a two hour musical journey to celebrate Bono's birthday. The music, the stories, the achievements.

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

I'm ready, ready for the laughing gas. i'm ready, ready for what's next: ready to duck, ready to dive, ready to say "i'm glad to be alive".../U2
So i was thinking to my self: "Albums that changed music history..." what does it mean, really? did it create some sort of a revolution, did it create a havoc(in a good way), and what about the songs themselves-do they speak to us in a different way and no matter how many times we listen to them, they still make us feel butterflies in our tummies. Yep, i guess all of the above!!!

Achtung Baby-the album, and Zoo t.v.-the world tour that followed (and thats being taught in music academies, till this day), were and still are different in so many ways. its not only the 12 songs that each one of them effects you in various ways, but also the political message behind them and infront of Zoo T.V.

Tomorrow night, we will take a journy: musical, spiritual and political, and feel for ourselves what it is all about. in the mean time "everything you know is a lie, watch more t.v."

Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

If I could stay.. then the night would give you up. Stay then the day would keep it’s trust. Stay with the demons you drown, Stay with the spirit I found, Stay and the night would be enough./U2

The last couple of weeks, it would seem that the world has gone crazy, everything is up side down. Actually, when were things ever normal??? The disaster in Japan, the merciless murder of children and babies, terror acts in the beautiful City of Jerusalem, which was 10 minuts from my home. Makes you want to pack the back pack and get the far away from reality as you possibly can. When my friend was killed 4 months ago, that was my second instinct: to pack my back pack and get the fuck out. somewhere, anywhere, just not here, not where 26 year old die in fires. But thats exactly the question: where or until when...or maybe, just maybe there's another solution, another way out: we can take comfort in each other. In each other and in God's most precious gift to man kind: music-of course. Good friends that help to numb the pain. and one lover to another-and then the night would really be enough!!!

This week-Wednesday night special-Dirty Dancing, thats right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oKUTOLSeMM&feature=related

We so deserve it: The music, the songs, the stories. I'm sure we all have our story related to the movie...and how can we not, the music, the dancing, Patrick Swayze wearing tight leather pants and holding you close...OH YES. This Wednesday night from 21-23pm.
