For 1:45, “Some Things Don't Matter” is unquestionably Rock. The guitar riff during the chorus is electric, heavy, and compelling. Still, it’s the voice of Gali Givon that drives the single. Then, Rap sensibilities land. The song is a collaboration with Arab-Druse rapper Tapash.
The
lyrics advise us to “Breathe in, some things don’t matter.” That sounds
positive. But Gali added more context by explaining, "The song was
written about the shittiest feeling that comes with growing from teen to
adulthood - this constant sensation that we haven't accomplished enough for the
age we're in. And the hook tries to be a liberating mantra for those of us who
felt it."
Gali
Givon is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. She is one of the first acts signed to the
newly established Universal Israel. While her previous efforts have seen her
dabble in the Alt-Rock agenda, “Some Things Don’t Matter” cracks out the killer
riffs to deliver her most explosive track to date. Teaming up with rapper Eyal
Tapash for the release, her newest offering is a bold and thunderous mix of
heavy Rock and Hip-Hop aesthetics, brimming with anthemic energy from start to
finish. The guitar work is that of Ami Nir.
Born
to a surgeon mother and father who worked as a CEO in the film industry, Gali
herself admits that her chosen path might be surprising to some. But both her
parents are classic rock fans, and she was raised on a diet of Bowie, Queen and
Pink Floyd. Later, she realised she gravitated towards heavier rock – grunge
and metal, particularly – as a means of coping with her father’s health issues.
She explains:
“My
dad used to go in and out of hospital, so I’d spend a lot of time at home,
alone. I remember the silence being so loud… I had to fill it up with something
louder. I needed something to fall into, and rock music was what caught me.”
