As every month of Adar, singer Aharon Razel surprises with a musical delivery - and this time it's a song with an optimistic rhythm with an entertaining clip in the spirit of the Adar days: 'Just One More Tune'.
Why is it important to cooperate with Israel's Seventh Population Census?
""There are tunes that sit in a drawer for a while, until they come out, and there are some that are forgotten in a drawer for many years," Aharon reveals. "The new tune is one of them: it was written on a winter Friday, on a crowded bus from Jerusalem to Safed, more than two decades ago!""

Yes, if we do a quick calculation, it happened somewhere 24 years ago, in the days before his debut album 'The Burning Bush'.
Razel, then a young artist, would improvise new melodies at every opportunity, write and record them, and repeat. Razel also received the inspiration for the lyrics of "Just One More Melody" from Rabbi Carlebach.
""I had a yellow booklet, home-printed, published by a friend. A booklet containing stories and sayings of the Dancing Rebbe. Short. Simple and to the point: 'Just one more melody! Just one more song! Just one more prayer!'".
The words were written in the booklet 'Deep of the Heart', edited by Rabbi Yahad Yosef Lev HaCohen Witt, and Aharon added and completed words.
On the way to Aharon's 13th album ("Bar Mitzvah"), he embarks on a crowdfunding project for the album. After the past two years of illusory reality beyond all imagination and the world of creation as a whole has undergone a shake-up, Aharon clings to the creative power that pulsates within him and continues to sit at the piano, guitar and stand, to create a new-old Jewish melody from the heart and soul.
And yet, by the grace of God, during this period, a number of songs were released into the world (Mo'ed Katan, Ahuvia, Bnei Brak) that were warmly received by the audience.
Therefore, Aharon invites his music fans to take part in the creation - by pre-purchasing the new album, or his book 'Life as a Tune', or one of the diverse and special services offered in the project, such as Aharon's melody for your use, a composition lesson, a musical guidance meeting, and other services.
