Musical Monday - Yael Naim "New Soul"

We've been hearing this song for the last few weeks on the radio and it's become one of those "turn it up" songs. I don't really know much about the artist, but her voice is hard to describe. Perhaps you should just listen to the song to see why we like it so much. Don't miss the trombone... it's N.'s favorite part.

Maybe the song is even familiar to you.
Perhaps because Steve Jobs has been using it to promote is MacBook Air:


Yael Naim "New Soul" Lyrics

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)

This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong

This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

New soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
