Rosi is indeed a long way from home, but certainly in the right place to showcase her unique talent for rich, dark melodies and a voice that not only draws you in, but still haunts you the next day. While living in LA, Rosi was inundated with creative lessons from violin, to voice, to acting. At 19, she decided to focus on singing and picked up her first guitar, teaching herself to play and write songs. Six weeks later, she was performing at her first open mic. Since then, Rosi has played the Acoustic Playhouse, Molly Malones, The Whiskey and Genghis Cohen in LA and The Bitter End, The Living Room, Rockwood Music Hall and CBs Gallery in NYC.
In the past few years, Rosi has worked with a number of acclaimed writers and producers from all over the world, including Jeff Cohen, Boots, Richard Cuason, Nate Campany, Tim Gordine, Richard Lobb, Pete Gordeno, Marc Swersky, Robert Conley, etc.
But its her continuing collaboration with singer/songwriter Jamie Hartman (Ben's Brother) that has yielded numerous songs, including the single “Let Me Out”, from Ben’s Brother debut CD (Relentless/EMI/Virgin). The song was recently featured on an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy”.
Rosi was recently mentioned in Billboard Magazine. She was the winner of the first ASCAP Robert Allen Award for songwriting excellence, for which she performed at Lincoln Center. Finally settled in New York, Rosi has already kick-started the momentum that launches careers.

Rosi Golan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll ask about your day, you will laugh and start to say
You wanted to be with me since the moment that I left
But so much time has passed us by we’ll promise that
If this is what we get, then lets make the most of it
We can dance around the clouds up here
And we’ll be what might have been close our eyes and just pretend
And so with every breath, I’m breathin in to regret the day I left
And I can feel it now, my heart is like the empty house
Where we used to lay together past the break of day
But now the days have passed us by, like dreams that fade
If this is what we get, then lets make the most of it
We can dance around the clouds up here
And we’ll be what might have been close our eyes and just pretend
That we are back again in Yesteryear, oh oh oh
ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
