Born in Tel Aviv in 1969 Noa lived in New York City from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor.
Noa's strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with Noa's Yemenite roots and Gil Dor's strong background in jazz, classical and rock, have created Noa and Gil's unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together.

Over the span of their 15 year career together, Gil and Noa have written and produced 4 hugely successful Israeli albums: "Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor Live", "Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor" (also known as "Rachel and Leah"), and "Achinoam Nini".

In addition, Noa has recorded a live album with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and a live cd and dvd with The Solis String Quartet. Their latest release in Israel is a collection of Neapolitan songs translated into Hebrew, and performed together with the Solis string quartet, named Napoli-Tel Aviv.

On Nov. 4th, 1995, Noa was on stage performing for an audience of 50,000 at the historic peace rally in Tel-Aviv just minutes before the late Yitchak Rabin was assassinated. She was the first and only major Israeli artist who agreed to have her name posted on the billboards calling for participation in this fateful rally.

Caught Up
NOA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t wanna fuck this up
Got me thinking I’ve been missing out on something good
You got that something sweet
It makes it hard to breathe
Pull me in
Held up and hypnotized
Here come the butterflies
I’ve been going crazy
over thinking ‘bout you baby
Gotta get me out of my head
I get so caught up
Don’t wanna fuck this up
Got me thinking I’ve been missing out on something good
I get so caught up-up-up-up
Feel the tension grow
And I know you know
I’ve got walls
Could you knock them over
Go on and pull me closer
To a place I’ve never been
I’ve been going crazy
over thinking ‘bout you baby
Gotta get me out of my head
I get so caught up
Don’t wanna fuck this up
Got me thinking I’ve been missing out on something good
I get so caught up-up-up
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
You got that something sweet
It makes it hard to breathe
Pull me in

I get so caught up
I become so engrossed and invested in you
Don’t wanna fuck this up
I don't want to make a mistake or ruin our relationship
Got me thinking I’ve been missing out on something good
You have me wondering if I've been missing out on something amazing by not being with you sooner
You got that something sweet
You possess that special quality that draws me in
It makes it hard to breathe
Your presence has a powerful and breathtaking effect on me
Pull me in
Entice me to be closer to you
Lost in your bedroom eyes
I am captivated by your gaze, which has me lost in your presence
Held up and hypnotized
You have me mesmerized and unable to think clearly
Here come the butterflies
My emotions towards you are intense and overwhelming, resulting in feelings of butterflies in my stomach
I’ve been going crazy
I am consumed by thoughts of you and our relationship
Over thinking ‘bout you baby

I need to stop overthinking and just enjoy the moment with you
Feel the tension grow
The anticipation between us is increasing
And I know you know
I am aware that you feel the same way I do
I’ve got walls

Could you knock them over
Can you help me break down my walls and trust you?
Go on and pull me closer
Entice me to be closer to you and let me know it's safe to open up
To a place I’ve never been
Allow me to experience new emotions and feelings with you that I have never felt before
