Israeli artist Pini Gurfil’s ‘Anny’ is a magnificent, yet slightly melancholy piece of soft rock that explores human experience in relationships; specifically the intricate mental network that psychotherapy weaves. As the song examines the prospects and process of mental salvation, it explores the interrelationship between mental resurrection and the anxiety beneath it. Alan Watts is quoted in the song.
It feels heavy and downcast, almost weighing you down as its sullen melodies and retro rock energy keep you listening but strangely discontent. One of the most masterful piece of sombre soft rock, Anny’s strength is in its sadness. You genuinely feel the mental journey that Gurfil is trying to evoke on the piece, the highs, the lows, and the anxiousness amidst it all.
