Sometimes the pain is like a melody
one never gives a name
Sometimes the pain is like the rain
that falls and washes me away
Sometimes the pain is like a melody
that comes uncalled, but sets you free
Free to go beyond yourself
and catch some sounds of paths untaken
No one expects a light
in the darkness, in the darkness
No one expects in blindness
there will be found, there will be found
a way…
Sometimes the pain is like a melody
one never dares to change
For who am I without my wound?
No one could ever guarantee
No one expects….
Return to the land of our mother
Return to the land of our sisters and brothers
Ooh it makes me long
For an ancient song
The love of our ancestors burning
And something long forgotten is returning
Keep a wise and open heart
To hear their voices calling you
Some places still exist even though we do not go there
Some magic keeps on working even though we never wonder
Some eyes keep on watching even though we do not notice
Some voices keep on calling…
Give me some of what you've got in that moonlight box of yours
Turning the black into blue
Something's glowing through the cracks of that moonlight box of yours
Defining the shadows as you're passing through
The silence of what you've been trying to push away
Now it's here
I'm taking time to rest inside of that overflow of mine
At least now you can touch me
As I let the tears melt down my walls
Something broke deep down under that overload of mine
It's changing my tuning
Now I'm silent listening to the new sound coming into life
Now I'm here
I'm standing upon the mountain
Trying to recall how we've got to this place
Where love has been forgotten
And being together seems like a mistake
I'm standing upon the mountain
Trying to see which wrong turn did we take
And I am thinking about you, thinking about us
Thinking of everything we've put at stake
And I'm wishing- don't ever let me go
I'll never ever let you go
Don't ever let me go
Even though it's hard I won't ever let you go
You and I could burst into lighting stars
How can I forget what you've awakened?
But feeling good ain't easy now-
When you've got the blues
Feeling good ain't easy now-
When you're down
I don’t know where to go
I don't know what to do with how things are
I'm trying to pull both of us
But I don't think this way we could get that far
I'm waiting for a change
To come and put our love back on track
And I'll be staying next to you
Until you find your own way back
And I'm wishing- don't ever let me go
I'll never ever let you go
Don't ever let me go
Even though it's hard I won't ever let you go
You came in my life
Asked me if you can stay for a while
And I replied
As much as you want baby
I fell in your eyes
And felt my soul rise
It was no surprise-
The way you looked back at me and smiled
Now you want to take me high…
It's all I ever wanted
Now you want to take me high…
It's all I ever wanted
You think you can
Just walk in and out of my life
You think you can
Just come and go, and come and go
You always come and go
Now you want to make me cry…
You're all I ever wanted
Now you want to make me cry…
You're all I ever wanted
Why you want to make me cry
You're all I ever wanted
Why you want to make me cry
You're all I ever wanted
It has been such a long long time
Since I had my time
It has been such a long long time
Since I had my time
To create a state of mind
To create a state of mind
Colours, colours
All the colours of nature
In my mind
In my mind
Fear nothing they say
We shall show you the way
Fear nothing they say
We shall show you the way
Home, home, home, home
Colours…

Moonlight Box – אלבום ראשון לשחף בנטור.
אלבום המשלב השפעות אפריקאיות, גיטרה זוהרת וקול שמגיע למעמקי הנפש.
מתבלט גם בהפקתו הפשוטה והמקורית.
שחף בנטור היא פנינה שנשלפה ממעמקי מחבוא, שבו המתינו שיריה וקולה שמישהו ימצא אותם,
וישמע אותם.
קולה מרגיש מחובר לשורשים עמוקים – חזקים ושבריריים באותה נשימה.
יחד עם הגיטרות המדויקות והרגישות נוצר אלבום מרגש ומלא כל טוב.
מפיק האלבום ואחיה של שחף, בועז בנטור (טייני פינגרז, 2013) נתן קו פשוט וייחודי שעוטף את האלבום כולו בחמימות ואור.
