For the first time I hear Bob Dylan in Asaf's music.

The video seemed to be about something else than his song----Like two different stories going at once. Baffling beauty.

Again a work of art from Asif. Simply beautiful. Thanks Izzy

Ohhhhh I loveee this !!!❤❤❤ I listen to him daily now since you introduced him on here I love this one too!! Try green and blue next ❤

❤❤❤

I'm not that familiar with his work.

Babylon is a symbol of sin, wickedness, evil, the people who lived there were materialistic heathens. I take it as Asaf is singing about wanting to indulge himself in activities that might be considered sinful, without a care, just give in to all desires. "I know there's a night, at the edge of this light" - he longs for the darkness, not the light. "Rain your terror down on me, untame the blueness in these eyes" - he doesn't want to be naive and good anymore. The whole album "The study on falling" is about the process of falling out of love with someone, a relationship disintegrating.. And he's been in Babylon before "all the tunes I used to sing, let me try them on my lips again, you know I never miss a note" - he's good at being destructive, dark and wicked! 😁 Wanting to be carefree and more animal-like, after trying for so long to do everything right and it still didn't work. I give up, now let me just exist and do whatever, let me be "evil".. maybe also to punish yourself...

It is a great analysis! Thanks

He said in an interview that he did not believe in god He believes in science but that he he loves the poetic part of the Bible So this song has me baffled now lol

Read my interpretation in my commen, maybe you agree with that one :) he’s not religious but uses biblical terms because of their mythological meaning

It could be about many things. I think the beauty of music is, that it can mean different things to different people, and also at different times.
