Known in Israel by her given name Achinoam Nini, Noa is Israel's leading international concert and recording artist. Born in Tel- Aviv in 1969, Noa lived in NYC 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. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel.
Mira Awad is an Palestinian actress, singer and songwriter, living in Israel. Born in Rama village in the Gallillee to a Palestinian Father (Anwar) and a Bulgarian Mother (Snejanka), between two brothers (Alan and Sinan). Due to a multi-cultural and humane up-bringing, Mira lacks the ability to understand why the human-race is butchering its own kind and the environment, and is a strong believer in co-existence among fellow human beings and all other living organisms on this planet.
Frozen
Noa & Mira Awad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're frozen when your heart's not open
Hum
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I'd suffer the same
If I lose you, my heart would be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside you die
You're frozen when your heart's not open
Hum
If I could melt your heart
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your heart's not open
Hum
If I could melt your heart
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
Hum
If I could melt your heart
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
If I could melt your heart
, is a ballad song with a powerful message that Noa & Mira Awad released in 2009. The lyrics are filled with metaphors that can be interpreted in many different ways, but the main idea revolves around how the human heart can become frozen and that this freezes us to joy, love, and happiness. The song starts by saying “You only see what your eyes want to see,” rightfully pointing out that humans often allow the world to dictate what they see. The lyrics urge the listener to open their hearts because they are frozen and this prevents them from experiencing the beauty of life.
Moreover, the chorus highlights a plea to unfreeze one's heart; "If I could melt your heart, we'd never be apart. Give yourself to me; you are the key." This can be interpreted in many ways, however, the lyrics can be interpreted as if the song is speaking to someone who has built walls around their heart, perhaps as a defence mechanism, and this prevents them from experiencing love. The song then concludes by saying “How can life be what you want it to be, You're frozen when your heart's not open.” By highlighting the importance of an open heart, the song ends by challenging the listener to rethink how they see the world and how they allow it to impact them.
Overall, the interpretation of this song could be left up to the listener's discretion. Nevertheless, the song's lyrics are an excellent testament to the idea that the world is not always what we see, and that life can only truly be experienced through an open heart and mind. The beautiful melody, combined with the impactful lyrics, creates a powerful message that anyone can relate to.
