 | | Formerly, songs related to the land and the people, war and heroism; Manor's innovation was to write about individual pain, love or joy, without reference to the national saga. |
 | | Set to a Chopin-like melody by his longtime collaborator Matti Caspi, the song achieves an almost religious invocation of love, underscored by the title, with its strong biblical overtones. |
 | | Manor's desire to be a popular writer was well expressed in the Eurovision song Abanibi, which, despite its success, upset some of his devotees. |
