אהבה נפשי, lyric video sample
- Song language Hebrew
- 32-second excerpt
Style and material
This Hebrew song, “Ahava Nafshi”, sets words from the Song of Songs: a search for the one the soul loves, a long stretch of not finding, and then finding. It moves slowly, like a walk through the night. The picture is black and white: a rainy night street of wet stone and street lamps, and a woman with an umbrella seen from behind. The lettering is written in light, glowing softly in the dark. Black and white was chosen for the longing in the verse, and the words glow instead of sitting on top of the picture.
About this clip
אהבה נפשי is a 32-second lyric video sample for a song in Hebrew.
Visual style: black and white, lettering written in light on a rainy night street.
Across the clip: The whole clip stays in black and white on one rainy evening. A woman in a light coat walks with a white umbrella down a wet stone lane lined with street lamps, passes a lit café window, and stops on a terrace above a misty valley. Near the end a man joins her under the same umbrella, and the last shot opens onto a wide view of hills under a bright cloudy sky. The lettering glows softly in the air beside them, like light reflected in the rain. The rain keeps falling throughout, the lamps reflect in the wet stones, and dark cypress trees and a stone tower stand on the hill behind. In one shot the camera comes close to the café window, where a laid table, a cup and a lit lamp show through the glass.
The first and the last line of the clip:
“אבקשה את שאהבה נפשי”
“אהבה נפשי”

The same text as the captions of the video.
אבקשה את שאהבה נפשי
ביקשתיו ולא מצאתיו
עד שמצאתי את שאהבה נפשי
אהבה נפשי
אהבה נפשי
