    The experience of listening to an album is not quite the same without the artwork.
    Our album is, fortunately enough, graced with the work of our dear talented friends, Iosefa Jacobovici and Gabriel Ranzer.
    A great deal of thought and debate went into these fantastic drawings to make sure they do the songs justice, and the album is only enhanced by them.

lyrics

I was bathing you,
the other day, dearie,
I was watching water drops gather,
on a lock of your hair,
one, two, three, four,
and fall,
if this is what you soothes you,
so be it.

So be it, I said,
when you asked if you could play,
but darling, it was a rainy day,
could see the reflection of the dark sky,
in your fair blue eye.

All I did was worry that you wouldn't slip,
Hopscotch, hopscotch,
my word, I sure intend to keep,
and I was looking at you playing,
until you heard me saying,
"We must go home now",
"Must we?", you were thinking,
"We must".

And the thought was gnawing in me,
the thought of playing with you,
I sure was contemplating,
once or twice to play, too,
but I am much too old,
I have grown, now.

One day you told me,
you were ready to give your heart away,
"Only then", you proclaimed,
"Would your night be my day",
had I only known,
you weren't intending to stay,
I would have said more.

"Would you still love me when I'm a butterfly?",
you asked,
"Well, dear, I'd love you even if you were a caterpillar",
but hell, you're not a pest,
to be oppressed,
to be obsessed,
but love, you have my love,
my admiration.

All I did was worry that you wouldn't slip,
Hopscotch, hopscotch,
my word, I sure intend to keep,
and I was looking at you playing,
until you heard me saying,
"We must go home now",
your eyelashes were twinkling,
you're all grown now.

about

Daniel Goldstein and Sara Umansky image

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 ... more
