about

"Praise", a bossa nova setting of the melody of "Love Dance", is a duet between Silberstein (guitar) and Castellanos (voice). The lyrics are taken from the Hebrew text, altered to fit McPherson's Middle Eastern-inspired melody, and speak to the depth of the story. "Love is as strong as death...."

lyrics

Love, is as strong as death...
It's passions are as severe,
as the grave.

Love, burns like a blazing fire...
like a mightly flame,
rivers can't sweep it away.

If one were to give all the wealth one's house for love...
he would be utterly scorned...utterly scorned, because:

Love, is as strong as death...
it's passions are as severe,
as the grave....as the grave...as the grave.
