Free Heart by Muki

This song is about a guy who has just recently broken up with his girlfriend. From the words he used it seems that this girl was keeping him "tied down." He uses phrases and words such as, free heart, no more cables, like the wind, after being burned, light emerges from the darkness, no promises, free of nostalgia, and without programs. This relationship did not sound like a very healthy and respectful one. I've never really been in a relationship that has tied me down like this before so I can't empathize with how this person feels. But in friendships I've had this before. Any relationship should be one that you want to be in and with this one it doesn't seem like that was the case.

When you look at the Hebrew the word לב comes up a lot which from what I've learned in Hebrew I can tell is heart. לב חופשי is another word that comes up a lot which means free heart. This repetition is to emphasize the fact that he is free now. This one phrase ואור גדול עולה מתוך החושך when spoken sounds so beautiful. When I was reading the Hebrew this phrase really popped out at me. In English it meas And a great light emerges from darkness. That line it's self is so meaningful and when you say it's just pretty. This song is purposely showing people not to stay in a relationship that holds you back. Because if you do your not going to be happy.
Sorry I forgot to post the lyrics and link here they are now:

Muki- Free Heart
Free heart, 

Today my heart is free, 
No cables 
And no more worries. 
Clean lie 
Free of nostalgia, 
Naked. 
Free heart 
Like the wind. 

And after it was burned, 
And after it was over already 
Released and fled 
One more time. 

And a great light emerges from the darkness, 
Is revealed. 
Night escape from this morning 
Rising. 

Free heart, 
Today my heart is free, 
Without programs 
And no promises. 
And life goes on, 
Family, friends, women, 
So I'm not alone 
I just without you. 

And this heart burns, 
This heart already runs 
Released and fled 
One more time. 

And a great light emerges from the darkness, 
Is revealed. 
Night escape from this morning 
Rising. 

Now far from me, 
But it does not hurt. 
Because as you've so did you go - 
The, you broke my heart.

  1. Jonah I really like your blog post about this song!! I completely agree with your views and opinions on the song. You can feel his pain when he is singing about his broken heart, but you can also feel the joy that he is free now, and his heart is no longer broken. I think that this song sends a very important message to people not to stay in toxic relationships, because they are unhealthy, and you will be so much happier once you let go and free yourself from the negativity.
