Yael Naim: New Soul - from the MacBook Air ad
I loved this song from the moment I heard the first few notes on the MacBook Air ad, and now that I've found this video, I love it even more.
There's something about this song/story that feels so familiar to me - watching her walk in to a new space, and size it up, and start turning it into a home... and the idea of a soul moving through the world "making every possible mistake..." and "learning what is true and what is fake..."
And when the walls fall down, and she finds herself outside, in this big gorgeous magical world, I can totally relate to that sense of wonder and surprise.
That Steve Jobs has some awesome talent scouts.
That is a wonderful video, I'm going to go look her up on itunes now..Thanks for the introduction!!!

Yeah she has really lovely voice, I love here too. She is now also in every MacBook Air commercial parody (http://macbookairad.com), I can't believe how she became popular thanks to that notebook :)
