With the band Alon had recorded 3 albums (their debut is still officially unreleased). Their second album, "inner world" (2001) was hailed as "The best non-Hebrew Israeli rock album since ("the Churchills" legendary psych LP from) 1968". The Band toured extensively all over California for sixteen months & played mostly in & around the bay area. "Pain to give"- their 3rd album was released in 2004 on the "Blue Sun Music" Label to rave reviews. It contained dark memorable moments such as "Doorway To Simplicity" (with a great & gloomy Tom Verlaine's "Feel") alongside long excursions as "Bound To Go Crazy".
In 2006 Geva Alon released his debut solo album "Days Of Hunger". This was a surprising acoustic-based effort, with country-rock & acid-folk edge that met with a tremendous success in Israel. Alon's live performances, usually in small Tell Aviv clubs, drew more & more people in the last 3 years, and he is regarded as a great performer with a "take-no-prisoners" attitude & a tendency for long surprising guitar workouts. "The Wall Of Sound", Geva's latest solo album was a much more rock-oriented journey. A well crafted combination between The Flying Baby's electric power, a dose of pop sensibilities and the acoustic "feel" of his debut. The album sold a couple of thousand copies 3 weeks after its release & the single "Modern Love", an emotional acoustic take on Bowie (the only cover on an all-original album) became an instant hit in Israel. Now he is back at the NY scene with 2 Guitars, 10 fingers (thank God!) and some amazing songs for a series of rare live shows far from the holy-land. Don't miss the guy! He's a good one!

Sunny Day
Geva Alon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won’t you meet me there
‘Cause I passed by you this morning
But I can’t pass you by
Thinking of you in my mind
Sunny day sunny day
On a lonely aging way
Broken hearts is a place where I
With a taste of a new beginning
And leaving worlds behind
Still you’re always on my mind
Sunny day sunny day
On a lonely aging way
Sunny day sunny day
But my love is far away
The lyrics to Geva Alon's "Sunny Day" depict the struggle of moving on from a past relationship while still being haunted by memories of the past love.

They acknowledge that they passed by the person earlier but couldn't just walk past them without a thought, as they are constantly consumed by thoughts of the person they miss.
The chorus, with the repetition of "sunny day" represents the contrast between the beauty of the world around and the pain the singer is feeling inside. They find solace in the broken hearts where they can meet their own sanity and try to move on. The lines "With a taste of a new beginning and leaving worlds behind, still you’re always on my mind" suggest that while the singer is attempting to find a new beginning, they are still struggling to let go of the past love.
