Two new songs, "Yesh Li Or" and "Yamama," have been released posthumously by Eliezer HaCohen Butzer, who passed away at age 43 during his reserve duty in the Swords of Iron War. The songs, recorded during his lifetime, are part of his upcoming album, "The Next Album," scheduled for release on November 29, 2026, two years after his sudden death. "Yesh Li Or," which has already garnered over 2.1 million streams and views on Spotify and YouTube, is now officially released as a single. It is described as a love song about intimacy and an eternal connection between two souls, with light symbolizing this deep bond. The second song, "Yamama," was written in the final period of Butzer's life and expresses marital and familial love. His wife, Noha Butzer, shared that he would often sing this song to her daily. The song praises the feminine and maternal movement, reflecting on the wisdom gained from motherhood and a woman's capacity to embrace contradictions. The lyrics "Every step forward looks further inward" represent their shared worldview, suggesting that personal growth and inner peace are achieved through introspection. The release of these double singles offers a glimpse into "The Next Album," which will feature 12 songs selected from Butzer's extensive archive, with all vocal tracks recorded during his life. A small team completed the arrangements and instrumentation. The musical production for both "Yesh Li Or" and "Yamama" was handled by Uri Avni, alongside collaborator Yair Levi. "Yesh Li Or" was written by Butzer and co-composed with Uri Avni and Idan Shneor. "Yamama" was co-written with Noha Butzer, Bob Stark, and Shai Pinto, and co-composed by Butzer, Shai Pinto, and Uri Avni. The songs are dedicated to the eternal soul of Eliezer ben Miriam Tzipora and the redemption of Israel.
Butzer, who served in the military, left behind a rich musical legacy. The upcoming album aims to continue illuminating the path with his compositions, reflecting his deep study of Jewish sources and constant observation of life.
