The Israeli band HaTavlinim (The Spices) is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album with a new single titled "Le'avor Et Ze Beyachad" (To Get Through This Together). The song, which addresses unity and overcoming disagreements, was written about a decade ago by the band's co-lead singers, Roee Levi, who is religious, and Shachar Nahari, who is secular. The single is being released just before the Knesset elections.
"Le'avor Et Ze Beyachad" is the first track from an upcoming album and signifies a new musical chapter for the band. Levi and Nahari originally wrote the song ten years ago but kept it in their archives until recently. Upon revisiting it, the band members felt its message was particularly relevant to the current state of Israeli society. The lyrics explore the cost of always needing to be right, the difficulty of maintaining relationships despite differences, and the necessity of finding common ground during tense times.
The collaboration between Levi and Nahari, from religious and secular backgrounds respectively, adds depth to the song's message of emphasizing commonalities over divisions. Roee Levi composed the music, while Eyal Mazig handled the musical production and string arrangements. In a statement, Levi and Nahari said, "Precisely now, when Israeli society needs some healing, HaTavlinim returns with a new single that seeks to mend what has been torn." They also noted that the band's return is a reunion of friends after years of individual musical pursuits.
"20 years after the album's release, the band members are meeting again for a musical reunion, with longing, friendship, energy, and a lot of love for music," they shared. In conjunction with the single's release, the band is preparing for a special concert in December at the Barby club in Tel Aviv to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their debut album. The performance will feature songs from their first album, along with other tracks from different periods and surprise elements. Levi and Nahari concluded, "Because sometimes, all it takes to start healing the rift is one good song."
