A collaboration between Israeli singer songwriter אביב גפן(Aviv Geffen) and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Two years back and forth on the London-Tel-Aviv flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity, and a close friendship are the components that gave birth to Aviv and Steven's Blackfield project. אביב גפן, a highly successful solo artist and outspoken (not to mention controversial) peace campaigner, with a string of gold albums in his own country, discovered the music of Steven's band Porcupine Treein the mid 90's and followed their career development. In 2000 he invited the band to perform some concerts in Israel and met with Steven in London to discuss the idea. Something clicked and before long they had already collaborated on the very first Blackfield song.

Blackfield

A thousand people yell
They're shouting my name
But I want to die in this moment
I want to die
And a thousand people smile
They're smiling at me
But I want to die in this moment
I want to die
No way to understand
Why I've become the way I am
When the sky is filled with stars
I find a place inside my heart
Some people can take a blow
And they won't ever drop
But I want to die in this moment
I want to die
She will tell me she loves me
That she won't ever stop
But I want to die in this moment
I want to die
The coldness in my soul
And I reach out for her to hold
And then I watch her close her eyes
It's only me that needs to cry
And if I stay with you
Do you believe that I'll pull through?
No way to understand
Why I've become the way I am
When the sky is filled with stars
I find a place inside my heart
And then I watch her close her eyes
It's only me that needs to cry
A thousand people yell
They're shouting my name
But I want to die in this moment
I want to die
