The Brook Sisters
We spent an evening with Brittany and Kendra Jo Brook. We talk about life, performing, songwriting, people who inspire them, and how they navigate the complicated life of artists in the big city.
The Brook Sisters brought their special brand of singing, songwriting, and fun all the way from Judith Gap, Montana. Now, they make their living as actor-musicians in NYC. Check them out on YouTube.

Mi Ma'amakim | From the Depths
Text and music by Idan Raichel
from the deep I was calling for you come to me
when you're back return the sight of my eyes
not done, not leave the touch in your hands
that will come and lit all to the hear of your voice
from the deep I was calling for you come to me
in front of a moon that shin your path back to me
sliced and melted against the touch of your hands
in your ears whisper and ask
from the deep I was calling for you come to me
in front of a moon that shin your path back to me
sliced and melted against the touch of your hands
in your ears whisper and ask
who is calling you tonight? listen
who sing at loud- to your window?
who put his soul that you'll be happy?
who will put hand and build your home?
who will take his life, and put it under you?
who will live as ash to your feet?
who will love you from all your lovers?
who will save you from the evil?
from the deep
from the deep I was calling for you come to me
in front of a moon that shin your path back to me
sliced and melted against the touch of your hands
in your ears whisper and ask
who is calling you tonight? listen...
