WHEN WE WENT AWAY
“When we went away
It felt so natural but I knew we couldn't stay like this forever
Every dream comes to an end - that's how life is
We’re diving right back into the puddle that is our life…"
A new song by Anat Porat from her upcoming album “Back To New”,
which will be released this summer.
In this song, Anat touches on gaps between reality and dreams
between the daily life, and the desired getaways.
Daniel Wisman’s arrangement and musical production
highlights the guitars alongside the vocals, in layers of tenderness and tension.

When we went away just you and I for a few days alone
I left behind all the noise and worries
and I just was myself
and so were you
and it was liberating, it was new
When we went away
and I knew that everything would be ok
and so it was,
and we could be reminded of all that lies within
beneath the daily stresses and ordeals .
Magical days away with you
Then, we came back home,
and out of all the corners our habits crawled back in
and all the magic disappeared into thin air just like a d r e a m It disappeared like a dream.
Diving right back into the puddle that is our life
When we went away,
after all these years you looked at me that way
it made me feel like we were 17
you swept me off my feet
and it was liberating and so sweet
When we went away it felt so natural
but I knew we couldn't stay like this forever
every dream comes to an end ,
that's how life is
with all the daily stresses and ordeals
what can we do? that's how life is
When we went away
After all these years you looked at me that way
When we went away
And I knew that everything would be ok
When we went away I
t felt so natural but I knew we couldn't stay
We're diving right back into the puddle that is our lives.
