After a decade of silence, singer and songwriter Gil Ben Haim releases a new song: Our Father, Our King.
The song's musical arrangement and production was entrusted to Yaakov Asraf from 'Solam Yaakov' Studios, who added an interesting combination of Eastern and Western instruments to the arrangement. The incredible playing of violinist Oren Tzur stands out in particular, and the result is particularly moving.
Gil Ben Haim (39), a resident of Paduel, married and father of five children, a graduate of the Eretz HaZvi Hesder Yeshiva in Paduel, works as a writer and checker of satam and owns the website 'Or Tefillin'.
He began playing the guitar at the age of 17, and two years later he discovered his talent for writing and composing. Since then, he has written no less than fifty songs, and about a decade ago he released his debut album, Hat Levy (named after the verse from the Psalms, "Hat Levy to your testimonies"), with ten songs with original melodies in a Jewish rock style, most of which are characterized by combining words from the sources with the author's own words.
