Welcome to Maya's World of Music!

Just came back from a Roxette concert in Tel-Aviv...CRAZY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went with my best friend, we have been loving them foreverrrrrrrr! The concert was amazing, they gave thier best, all of them. I knew all of the songs, some of them i haven't heard for years till tonight, and that's one of the best parts of a concert: the surprises. When you go "oh' yes. they're palying that song...". And those peak moments when they paly your absolute favored song that makes your emotions reel. There's a word to describe that feeling: orgasm. There's nothing in the world like a live concert: the energy, the passion, the emotional relief, the unbelievable sensation of actually seeing the artist in front of you with your own eyes.

I have no voice left from the singing and screaming. There were some assholes that complained that i'm making them deaf with my screaming. I asked them if it's their first time in a concert.

Of course, after a concert i stend in the front of the stage and ask very nicely for goodies: play list, a drum stick, a guitar pick, anything they give me- i take. I have a very nice selection of goodies. This time i got a play-list, and after begging the guys that take away the stage, i got a beautiful purple pick. At some point they understood that if they ever want to go home, they need to get rid of me, and it was obvious by the minute that i'm not going empty handed!!!!
Oh, and did i mentioned that i met them for a minute after the concert? yep, yep i did!!

Come to my window, Crawl inside, Wait by the light of the moon. Come to my window...I'll be home soon./M.E.

About eight months ago, i got this notion in my head to do a special radio show for Gilad Shalit. Something different. To present him to the world as a human being with feelings and wants like all of us, and not just as a captive soldier. I went to speak to his parents about a radio show that would feature all of Gilad's favorite and loved songs. Noam-his father said that it's been to long and that he doesn't remember Gilad's favorite music. And that they don't want the whole world to listen-only the Prime minister, and he doesn't think that Bibi listens to our RFN radio.

Today a miracle has accured and Gilad is back home, with his femily where he belongs. Lorelai and i were watching the special T.V. brodcast of his return home. The price for his return is very high and very very painfull and we must not ever forget it!!!

I hope one day to sit with Gilad in our studio and to have him as a guest for the Wednesday night musical journey show. To talk about his favorite music and the stories behind them, and of course to play them. And together to send and reinforce the feeling of never giving up hope. To never stop praying-eventually it just happens!

Present Tense/Pearl Jam

Do you see the way that tree bends? does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's raysa, a lesson to be applied.
Are you getting something out of this? all encompassing trip.
You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize, you're the only one
Who can't forgive yourself, oh.
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense!
Have you ideas on how this life ends? checked your hands
And studied the lines...have you the belief that the road ahead
Ascends off into the light? seems that needlessly it's getting harder to
Find an approach and a way to live. Are we getting something out of
This, all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize, you're the only one
Who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense!!!

The new year is coming in four days. The greatest grace we can do with ourselves, is to follow the lyrics above!!! Shana Tova-have a great one, filled with love, good friends, and lots of good music. Maya

Singin' in the classes, Music for your masses. Give no head, No backstage passes. Have a proper giggle, I'll be quite polite, But when I rock the mic I rock the mic...I don't wanna rock, DJ But you're making me feel so nice. When's it gonna stop, DJ? Cos you're keeping me up all night./ R.W.

I was at a wedding this week. A couple in love, two beautiful people. The bride had a gorgeous dress that didn't look like a cream puff (for a change)!!! A beautiful garden hall. And don't even start me on the food: yammi yammi yammi. The music at the reception till the Hupa was the best: Rock, Funk, 80's-the works. Knowing the couple, my friends and i had a lot of expectations for the music, when the dancing would start. And then the disappointment began: during the meal, the D.J. took his place and started to play some tunes that were horrible, but we thought that it's just for the begining, for the parents and their freinds, and for the rest of the dancing night there will be only good muisc. Boy, were we WRONG.....it just got worse and worse to the piont that the bride was not happy, and her sister (my best friend) went to talk to the D.J., as did the groom himself. Guess what-it didn't work and the D.J. did his own thing, that made the rest of us very unhappy. We were contemplating very seriously to kick his ass and for me to take his place. (After all, it was Wednesday night). What happened was that the D.J.'S megalomaniac ego got the best of him and he forgot why he was there in the first place...

The holly roll of a D.J. is to make people happy with music. It's a sacred mission and not to be taken lightly. These days when everybody are very busy fighting and killing each other, music is the only thing that is left to remind us that we are all humens and we have at least one thing in common.

My dear music lovers and rock stars: What's on for this week: Tuesday-the 13th, 11-13pm(centrel Jerusalem time) great music for the day. Wednesday the 14th, 21-23pm, we'll take a nusical journey and this time: soundtracks!!!!

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!

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!
