Words 03:15
Woke to a smell of a fire, from my garden, it's probably just another kid, unfortunately prone to sin, I hate when they do that, it's hurting my flowers, wish they'd stop! Words, like drizzling dew drops, hastily imbibed, and swayed astray, it's all superficial, anyway, oh, so inveigh, and thoughts portray! Words are a form of weaponry, use too many and you'll be in harm's way, so wisely compose your verses for He... Trying to experience ev'rything, trying to have a taste of it all, the well that never fills, to the top, hmm... All we do, is talk too much, too fast, and all that does is provoke the flames! Seeding, harvesting, seeding, harvesting, seeding, harvesting, seeding.

about

The song's origins are in the composing phase of Daniel and Sara's first album, "The Comfort and Freedom...", when a 10-minute song entitled 'Zeitgeist' was being worked on. Eventually, "Zeitgeist" was scrapped, and a part of it was used as the ending of "Oasis", a track from the duo's debut.
The rest of that song was left untouched until Daniel composed what is now the second part of "Words" (in June 2016) - and knew right away he wanted it to go along with a section of "Zeitgeist", which became the first part of "Words". Figuring out how to connect the two parts, which are in different time signatures and tempos, took some time - and Daniel was concerned with this direction, thinking it may be too complex and overly-ambitious to make an album with such odd metres and tempo alterations, but the duo decided to take a step towards that direction, knowing that it feels right to them.

about

Daniel Goldstein and Sara Umansky Ra'Anana, Israel

The Folk duo of composer Daniel Goldstein (b. 1999) and violist Sara Umansky (b. 2001).
Their songs, influenced by classical music, as well as by The Decemberists and Roy Harper, and employ lush orchestrations, are each like a basket of homemade baked goods: comforting and made with love for appreciating stomachs... or, well, ears.

'Small, modest and beautiful' - Guy Tene, Lahiton, 30/06/2016
