About a year and a half ago, he repented and has since released the song "Something Big," which received much praise in the Israeli music community and was widely played on radio stations.
In the poem "Like Water," Dibo tells of the longing of man, whose name comes from the Hebrew word "adam" meaning "land to the top," to be like water, to seep into the depths of his soul, and from there to grow renewal.
The song describes an endless search for the complementary half, the half that will turn a disadvantage into an advantage, and in connection with it, one's personal redemption will be revealed.
Shai Dibo Cohen: "The song describes the desire of each of us to experience complete and true love, precisely from the understanding that alone we are half incomplete.
Water has a very special property - it is the most cohesive there is. One drop that connects to another drop, immediately both of them become one big drop. If we take one drop of water and throw it at a building - the drop will shatter and disappear, it will have no effect on the building. But if we take a lot of drops of water and throw them at the building - then a huge wave can also topple a large and strong building.
Here lies the power of the Jewish people, which only through its unity can serve as a mighty and unstoppable force. This is also the reason for keeping the commandments, which are from the word tzavta. They unite the Jewish people to be one, through the power of action. Unity – not uniformity.".
