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. There are also various compilations available. The songwriting duo have sold over a million and a half copies of their current catalogue.
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.
In March 1999 Noa sang for President Clinton at the White House in the event held by the "Yitzhak Rabin Foundation" honoring the late Rabin's 77th birthday . She was also invited to sing in Oslo for the anniversary of the Peace accord signed there, before an audience that included President Clinton, Ehud Barak, Yasser Arafat and the King of Norway.

The concert was performed live in front of an audience of 350,000 in Rome's "Circo Massimo", and broadcast on MTV, VH1 and various other channels to millions more around the world. (this performance was held during Noa's 6th month of pregnancy!)

In September, she performed at the "Ambrosetti Forum" which took place in Villa d'Este, Como, Italy, before distinguished participants such as Shimon Peres, Saeb Arekat and Amer Mussa.

In June 2006, the Italian Ambassador to Israel notified Noa that the President of the Italian Republic, President Neapolitano, has decided to award her the prestigious "Stella de la Republica " ( the "Star of the Republic) with the status of "Cavalliere" (knight). This is the highest honor Italy has to give. The formal ceremony is pending.

Eye In The Sky
NOA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take anymore
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
[Chorus]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see anymore
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies
While all of the signs are deceiving
[Chorus]
Noa's song, "Eye in the Sky," is a poignant and insightful track, exploring the power dynamics at the heart of many relationships. The lyrics speak to the difficulty of communicating effectively, begging the listener not to offer insincere apologies or make empty promises. Instead, the singer warns their partner not to try and manipulate the situation or turn the tables, as they have done so many times before.
The chorus is particularly powerful, with Noa taking on the role of the "eye in the sky." Here, she is the one who can read her partner's mind, making the rules and dealing with the foolishness that often comes with relationships. She is also unafraid of calling out this behavior, pointing out the lies and illusions that her partner may be trying to perpetuate.

I've LOVED Noa's version of "Eye In The Sky" since the first time I had ever heard it. It was on constant play-back on my CD car player 5 years ago. Your video has moved me more that you know. I believe this video is a montage to a lost love, forgive me if I am wrong. Your clips coupled with Noa's version of this song are simply beautiful. Thank you.
