Lior Medan – Shikhtu | Seven Wanderers 05/08

Song 05 of 08. The fourth day · Kokhav Hamah, the quick wanderer · quicksilver. The fourth day, Kokhav Hamah the quick wanderer, quicksilver. "Shikhtu", "the jumping one", was the Babylonian name of the planet. The scribe who writes numbers in clay and never finishes, torches in a line through a night forest, someone starts to hum. Wisdom and folly in one mouth. יום רביעי, כוכב חמה, כספית. "שיחטו", "הקופץ", היה השם הבבלי של הכוכב. הסופר שכותב מספרים בחימר ולא גומר, לפידים בשורה ביער בלילה, מישהו מתחיל לזמזם. חכמה ואיוולת בפה אחד. "Seven Wanderers" is an eight-song album sung in Akkadian, the language of ancient Babylon. The seven lights that wander among the fixed stars gave their names to the days of the week: one song for each of them, with its day, its metal and its colour, from the great light on the first day to the slowest wanderer on the seventh, after an opening song about how seven days, sixty minutes and twelve hours came into our hands. Organic house with Saharan-blues guitar, daf and hand drums, low monastic chant and close-mic voices. "Seven Wanderers" — שמונה שירים באכדית, שפת בבל העתיקה. שבעת כוכבי הלכת שנתנו את שמותיהם לימי השבוע: שיר לכל אחד, עם היום, המתכת והצבע שלו. THE ALBUM 01. Seven Wanderers 02. Nuru Rabu 03. Warkhu 04.
