Matti Caspi's Last Gift: The Emotional Song He Made Before His Cancer Diagnosis
Legendary Israeli musician Matti Caspi's last composition "B'Makom Sheli" performed by Adi Cohen emerges as a powerful testament to hope and inner peace amid his cancer diagnosis.
Just months before he was diagnosed with advanced metastatic cancer, legendary Israeli musician Matti Caspi worked on a final creative project that has now been released to the world. The song, titled "B'Makom Sheli" (In My Place), was composed by Caspi and performed by singer Adi Cohen, with lyrics by the equally celebrated Danny Robas.
The new single, which was released today, is a deeply personal and moving piece that carries an emotional weight far beyond its melody. According to the song's creators, it is a search for inner peace, a safe haven, and a healing space amid life's constant storms.
The song's lyrics, written by Robas, speak of finding a sanctuary within oneself, a quiet, safe place to stop, breathe, and dream, even when the world outside is noisy and painful. This theme of finding refuge and hope in a chaotic world resonates powerfully, especially given Caspi's health struggles, which became public knowledge in May.
A Message of Hope and Healing
Adi Cohen, known for her unique and powerful voice, delivers a performance that blends strength and vulnerability, making the song an intimate experience for the listener. The release marks the continuation of her musical comeback, following her recent single "Elokim Shomer Alecha" (God Is Watching Over You).
"If there is one thing that remains yours, private, in this world, it is your thoughts," Cohen said. "There, there is no limit, no one can invade. That is the protected place, that place that is only mine."
The collaboration between Caspi and Robas, two giants of Israeli music, brings a profound depth to the song. It stands not only as a testament to their enduring artistry but also as a powerful message of hope and the healing power of music.
