She was born in Paris in 1978 to Jewish-Tunisian parents. At the age of four, she moved with her family to Ramat HaSharon, Israel, where she learned Hebrew and trained as a pianist. She served in the Israel Defence Forces as a soloist in the Israeli Air Force Orchestra. She began her singing career with a part in the musical "Les Dix Commandements," and her first solo album, In A Man's Womb, was released in 2001. According to a Songfacts interview with her, it disappointed Yael, who decided she would be much happier giving up her dreams of stardom and making music on her terms.
She also sang the song "You Disappear" by Bruno Coulais for the film Harrison's Flowers directed by Elie Chouraqui. For her early work she was credited simply as Yaël.
Naïm joined forces with percussionist David Donatien, and over a period of two years they arranged and recorded thirteen of Naïm's songs in a studio in Naïm's own appartment in Paris, and these were released as her second album, Yael Naim, in the fall of 2007 on the Tôt Ou Tard label. The songs are in French, English, and Hebrew and received critical acclaim, and the album entered the French album chart at #11 the week after its release. The style has been described as having a touch of folk and a touch of jazz, with mysterious and evocative words sung with a delicate and intentionally slightly husky voice.
In January 2008, her song "New Soul" was featured in the debut commercial for the MacBook Air laptop. The song gained fame from being featured in the ad, and it has peaked, as of February 1 2008, at #2 on the iTunes Top 100 Downloaded Songs.

Yael Naim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was praying for something to happen to her
Everyday she writes words and more words
Just to speak out the thoughts that keep floating inside
And she's strong when the dreams come 'cause they
Take her, cover her, they are all over
The reality looks far now, but don't go
There's a beautiful mess inside
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
Hmm, hmm
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Far, far, there's this little girl
She was praying for something good to happen to her
From time to time there aree colors and shapes
Dazzling her eyes, tickling her hands
They invent her a new world with
Oil skies and aquarelle rivers
But don't you run away already
Please don't go, oh, oh
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
Take a deep breath and dive
There's a beautiful mess inside
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
Beautiful
Beautiful
Far, far there's this little girl
She was praying for something big to happen to her
Every night she ears beautiful strange music
It's everywhere there's nowhere to hide
But if it fades, she begs
"Oh Lord, don't take it from me, don't take it yourselves"
I guess I'll have to give it birth
To give it birth
I guess, I guess, I guess I have to give it birth
I guess I have to, have to give it birth
There's a beautiful mess inside and it's everywhere
So shake it yourself now deep inside
Deeper than you ever dared
Deeper than you ever dared
There's a beautiful mess inside
Beautiful mess inside
The lyrics of Yael Naim’s song “Far Far” describe a young girl who possesses an incredibly imaginative mind that enables her to create a new and wonderful world within her own head. The little girl writes down all her thoughts that constantly float around her head, painting colors and shapes that dazzle her eyes and tickle her hands, and inventing new worlds with “oil skies and aquarelle rivers”. In her new world, her dreams shelter her, and so her reality looks far away, but she cannot help but try and stay within this world that she built for herself.
Towards the end of the lyrics, the young girl becomes anxious that her creative vision may be taken from her. She pleas, “Oh Lord, don’t take it from me”. The song insists that something beautiful is within each and every one of us and that we should not be afraid to embrace it. As the chorus repeats, “There’s a beautiful mess inside, and it’s everywhere”, the song drives the point home that within every person exists a stunning, imaginative world which should not be feared, but rather celebrated and brought out into the open.

This song has been so healing for me in a dark time of self-doubt and feeling worthless 10 years ago. It was as if some angels were whispering to my ears. So my mess could be beautiful?! It was the starting point of my journey deciding to dive and love my inner world and myself and embrace fully who I am. I now accompany people to do the same....with this song still in my head! I love discovering people's beautiful mess and perfectly imperfect worlds!
