I Am Here [I Can't Leave]




This is a song that I wrote when I was processing the death of a friend who was 16 at the time, who had run the wrong way in a demonstration and was tragically killed. I thought about 12-year old children around the world who are trapped in their circumstances. And the sounds you hear in this recording are of a small Israeli child, and a small Palestinian child, singing parallel yet dissonant songs. In the background you'll also hear a memorial siren.

I recorded this track with Dejan Ilijic, brilliant producer and composer (with the band EYOT).

Let me know what you think in the comments.
