Singer Narkis Embraces Boundaries and Self-Worth in New Single 'Professor of Words'
Following the release of her new single "Professor of Words," Israeli singer and songwriter Narkis discussed the creative process behind the song in a recent interview on Kan News Radio. Co-written with Ilan Suissa and Ariel Eden, the song reflects on experiences with people who talk more than they act, a theme many listeners can relate to. Despite its critical tone, Narkis emphasized that the song is ultimately about empowerment and moving forward, describing it as a moment of realization and growth.
Narkis shared that breaking away from old patterns is challenging but rewarding, noting that she publicly acknowledged this journey on Instagram. She contrasted the song's reflection on the past with her current life, which she described as a healthy and happy relationship. This positive change came from a conscious decision to set personal boundaries, even if it meant being alone, and to accept and feel worthy of who she is. She believes that establishing these boundaries has improved all areas of her life, including her relationships, time with her children, and creative work.
Addressing the common belief that creativity stems mainly from pain, Narkis argued that inspiration can also come from positive experiences and joy. She revealed that she is already working on her next song, which will connect to the upcoming Jewish High Holidays and explore themes of introspection and hope. She expressed faith in goodness and the idea that even struggles serve a meaningful purpose, offering consolation and optimism for the future.
