This one's about life, new year
So much has been said, and even more has been done. For better or worse, we're supposed to look back and say that it was worth the trip. That's basically the winning point of every trip, to be reminisced upon with favor. When a trip fails at that point, then every bump on the road seemed to contribute to the overall disappointment instead of being just another funny story. How was the 2009 trip for you?

As some of you may have read, 2009 wasn't one of my best years and that only planted in me this almost juvenile eagerness to make 2010 better. So yeah, there're plans, hopes, promises, all waiting to happen. But there's nothing like the new year's resolution(s) to make you look like an idiot when you don't reach the bar you've set for yourself. So let's set some, shall we?

  • Keep your eyes and mouth open (don't ignore pink elephants and when you see them, call them out)
  • Respect yourself (no one knows you better than you, use that to your advantage)
  • Friends are paramount, but true friends will save your life, cherish that
  • Only wear socks once for every wash

Those should be kept every year regardless of any new/old goals, but I'm sure that some of you broke one or more of them this year or another. I know I broke them all this year and so this is a good chance to make amends... with the person who knows me best.

May we all have a great year!

This one's about music, epic
The treacherous labyrinth of healing is a thorny struggle. At times you wound up back where you started, reliving every little hurt and discomfort, and at other times your progress just a little farther to be caught by some bramble you overlooked. The light at the end is no less treacherous than the labyrinth itself, but at least it's where you're going and eventually, to each his own strength and endurance (and love of brambles), will get there.

This track's (and post) name is borrowed from an environment in which I used to struggle with my labyrinth. And even though I still visit that environment on occasion, its hold on my peace of mind has long dissolved and I enjoy it now as much as I did before this whole turmoil began. The name sounded fitting for both the atmosphere and the origin of this struggle, it's a focal point for much that happened, where it happened and, if to be taken metaphorically, what happened.

This labyrinth has long been a faint memory and the brambles have bloomed with pale flowers under the light of release. I water them every day. :)

So, what is this?

This is the official website of DNA-Groove (or Eliran Ben Ishai). He is a musician who lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and composes music with passion. He doesn't like to speak about himself in the 3rd person, so I'll just say that you are welcome to listen and speak, download and share everything here. Thank you for coming.
