Reply To: Adama Veshamayim – Avoda Zara

Yserbius, there was a Whatsapp message going around and a news item on Matzav. (Mods, are you allowed to mention Matzav on YWN?). The problem was that the post was referring to a song “Strong Winds, Deep Water” that was recorded almost 10 years after the original Sagol song (as an Israeli the song was familiar to me, but not its origin story – to hear it Google ‘Sagol bandcamp adama veshamayim’ ). So I googled the complete lyrics and found a version called “Tall Trees” sung by Gila Antari who is a Wiccan jew rachmana litzlan (and whose version seems to be influenced by the Israeli version). In the Youtube comments, the wife of the original singer commented on the lyric change, and that directed me to the original song.
