Meir1c - Where Melodies Became My Home: An Autobiography

After the sudden death of my mother, I turned toward music.
It was the only place where I could breathe, the only place where grief
didn’t swallow me whole.
I began collecting records obsessively — Israeli Vinyl, CDs, music books
— anything that kept me connected to the sounds that had shaped me.
That archive became my anchor, my identity, my way of surviving.
Especially in my marriage, music became the quiet language of our unrest.
And in general, music is my refuge, the place I retreat to when life demands confrontation.
I have always struggled to meet myself honestly, to solve what hurts, or to endure the sharpness of arguments.

Until today, I can spend every free moment wrapped in the nostalgic sounds of Israeli music from the mid-1960s to the 1980s. Artists like Yehoram Gaon, HaGevatron and HaParvarim have shaped my musical world. My record player hardly ever rests.

But day after day, the music within me reaches outward, longing for the gentle woman who holds the key to my heart — to share these melodies with her, to let them weave between us, and to let our souls meet in a quiet harmony only the two of us can hear.

Some years ago a newspaper has published an article about my passion to collect:
