Kommentieren
Die israelische Metal Band ORPHANED LAND hat ein weiteres Video veröffentlicht. Der Song 'Brother' stammt aus dem kommenden Album "All Is One" (VÖ: 24.06.2013).
Kobi Farhi über die Bedeutung des Liedes:
"This is a song that Itshak is singing to his brother Ishmael. According to the bible, they were both the sons of Abraham from two different mothers. Today, Itshak is known as the father of the Israeli nation while Ishmael known as the father of the Arab nation. Historically, that means of course that it's a historical fact that Israelis and Arabs are brothers and we believe that the deepest source for our actual conflict still lies there, between the two brothers.
Both sides today are so focused on being right in the conflict and fill themselves with hate. Every side is so busy with being the victim and today it doesn't make sense to either one of the side that we are historically brothers. People forgot it, forgot that our language are alike, as well as our names and history.
An interesting is that on the Jewish bible there is a story where Abraham took Itshak to the mountain to sacrifice him to God. Muslims have the same exact story, but on their version it was Ishmael on the mountain, everyone shape history according to his own version and we have conflicts even on that oldest stories, just as if we were two kids in a fight. And therefore there is a line in the song says: "The lord blessed us both, but we still fight and claim, that kid on the mountain - what was his name"
Brother is a love song for a forgotten beloved brother who turned to be a blood enemy.
And before people will go and start with politic comments, that has nothing to do with politics or being left or right wing, Jew, Muslim or anything else. We are not taking any sides as musicians, we just tell a story, and we decided to be the first grown up brother in this story and ask: "Forgive me, brother". Mainly because being mature and grown up sometime means that you can say you’re sorry, even if it's not only your fault.
We dedicate this song with much love, hope and belief to our Israeli & Arabs beloved brothers.”
