Artist Menachem Hotar launches a new cover of Shmulik Sukkot's song "Come Close" - a moving and particularly touching work for the recent period.

Hoter, known as a painter and multidisciplinary creator, has moved between different worlds since childhood: painting, photography, music, and video creation.

""Despite the internal conflict - either you paint or you sing - the same excitement that motivated me to continue creating always returned," he says.

The AI ​​era has also become a source of inspiration for him: "Every technological update excites me like a child receiving candy. I immediately think about what else can be created with it.".

He recently entered the studio, recorded, and released a personal and special cover of Shmulik Sukkot's song "Come Closer." Hoter defines the project as one that connects all of the imagination and invites the audience to stop for a moment, to listen.

Words:

How far I went
Day after day I just searched.
A place to ask for without despair
try

What I left met me.
My heart is a little off, so I came back.
Thinking thoughts
Those memories don't let go

It's dark and it hurts me so much.
Give me a sign up.
The soul within me is calling me.
approximate

And how many tears I shed
Come on Ronnie at night.
I asked from the bottom of my heart.
