On October 7, Dudi Bar David’s song “Your Song” took on a new meaning—it became “His Song”, the cherished anthem of Staff Sergeant Omri Peretz, a paratrooper squad commander who fell in the battle for Kibbutz Kissufim. Omri deeply loved the song, and it accompanied him on his final journey. Reflecting on the experience, Bar David says, “When you perform for parents who have buried their son, knowing your song was with him in his last moments, you cannot remain the same person, the same artist, or the same father. The eyes of those parents stay with you forever. You’re no longer just the singer of love songs.”

In the latest episode of “Song of Hope”, Bar David delivers a poignant and heartfelt rendition of Sarit Hadad and Dikla’s “Come Back”. Through this intimate performance, he gives voice to the collective cry of an entire nation longing for the return of the hostages.
