She studied classical piano from the age of five. Growing up she was also heavily influenced by indie folk music from the 70's and pop influences from the 80's and 90's. Her parents, both aficionado artists and musicians encouraged and nurtured her creativity and musicality. At the age 13 she began playing guitar and writing her own songs as well as performing them live in festivals around the city. In 2000, after receiving a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music she moved to the U.S. where she currently resides. She often collaborates with other artists, songwriters and filmmakers including Cathy Heller, Lindsey Ray and Alan Fischer.

Her sound and new EP "Heartbeat" (out Nov. 10th 2009) have been described as “a balanced new age of folk, independent pop, and electronic…" and “…a female-feel of Death Cab for Cutie meets Jack Johnson…” (My Crazy Music Blog / Loud Dreams)

Tea for Two
Yael Meyer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When our days of youth have passed us by
All the kids and grand-kids began to fly
Once again it will be you and me
Sitting barefoot beneath the shade of a summer tree
And we’ll laugh at our wrinkly toes
our gray hair and my crooked nose
You’ll look at me and I will look to you
and we’ll make tea for two

And in the winter when it’s gray and cold
You’ll tell me stories as the day unfolds
And in the evenings I will sing to you
And we’ll make tea for two
Na na na, na na na na, na na na
When our sheer good looks begin to fade
Wrinkled eyes, fake teeth are here to stay
Everyone around will think we’re old
But to me you’ll always be the one
I love with all of my soul
And we’ll take walks along the Persian rug
We’ll cuddle closely really warm and snung
You’ll look at me and I will look to you
And we’ll make tea for two
And in the winter when it’s gray and cold
You’ll tell me stories as the day unfolds
And in the evenings I will sing to you

And we’ll make tea for two
Na na na, na na na na, na na n

Overall Meaning

In Yael Meyer's song "Tea For Two," the lyrics describe a future where the days of youth have passed the two individuals in the song by. The kids and grandkids have moved on, and it will just be the two of them sitting barefoot under the shade of a summer tree. They will laugh at their wrinkled toes, gray hair, and crooked nose. Despite their aging appearance, they will make tea for two, reminiscing on their past and embracing their future together.

Further into the song, the lyrics describe how their looks will begin to fade, and they will have wrinkles and fake teeth. Despite their older appearance, they still have a strong love for each other, and it will continue to grow. They will take walks along the Persian rug, cuddle closely, and drink tea for two. Even in the winter, when it's gray and cold, they will tell stories and sing to each other while they drink their tea. The song's overall message is a heartwarming reminder that true love can withstand time and age.
