I guess you refer to the Ha'Ayara Bo'Eret video? In my opinion it's the best cover ever. The music and the video both worked out very well but it's the concept that makes it so unique. In the end lot of bands made anti-war covers, but this one video sends shivers down the spine because it confrontates people with something REAL, not just words but really uncovering all the horrors that happened during the war. In my opinion this song is an excellent anti-war statement, a statement that we should never allow any form of ethnic cleansing again. The fact that the band recorded it with this message behind it (their grandparents survived the concentration camps, they did not make this cover out of sensation or so) is a proof to that. It was intended as an anti-war statement, and IMO it is an excellent one, a much better one than most other bands that protest against war.
Here is some lyrics of Sophia's "(Death Comes) So Slow" which may sound depressing but, in a day when I feel sad, this sorta lifts me up. The melancholy in the song gives me the feeling "you're not alone with your problems". So yeah, I would not call this song depressing at all, even when the lyrics may look depressing.
I turn off the lights but leave the television talking, no tonight I don't wanna be alone
I try to close my eyes but I'm afraid of the dark
I see you everywhere, I see you everywhere
But death comes so slow when you're waiting, when you're waiting to be taken
Death comes so slow when it's all you want, and it takes the ones that don't
It was written shortly after a lifelong friend of the vocalist (and band member of his previous band God Machine) died from a brain tumor.
