“Soon we will become a song” is a musical project to perpetuate the fallen soldiers of the IDF. The project is choosing every year a number of songs that were written by fallen soldiers and the victims of the terror acts, and those are composed and performed by a variety of Israeli known artists. The recorded songs are aired during the annual broadcasts of the “ Galei Tzahal” station (IDF’s radio) in the Israel’s remembrance day to the IDF’s fallen soldiers.
During the project, that is being held almost every year since 2001, many texts that were written by the fallen (since the founding of the state of Israel) are being gathered from many resources, and also songs that have been written by citizens who were killed in terror attacks. The texts are being given to known Israeli musicians, and each of those chooses the one they would like to compose. This process creates a moving combination between different musical styles and different cultures. More so, during the project the artists meet with the bereaved families, to get to know the stories of the fallen from a close look- those stories are being published in a special article about the project and the people perpetuate in it. Sometimes the process of the composing and recording of the song is done together with the family.
We dedicate this year’s ceremony to this important project.
