Marina Maximilian Blumin-Deep in Dew



Marina Maximilian Blumin has always been a colorful and talented voice among the popular Israeli performers of the last decade. She started on "A Star is Born" and even from the first episodes it seemed like she was already a star. She blew people away with her talent and her self-confidence and ended up taking second place. She's one of those singers who might have made it without performing on a reality show but also might have missed her chance and I really think it would be a loss to our culture if we didn't know who she is. Although it's been 3 years since the show only now is she releasing her first album. It's not like she disappeared- she was all over acting in theatre musicals, taking part in projects and just being talked about. From the sound of her first single it seems like she made a good decision in taking her time. There's a subtle calming quality about this song but without trying too hard and God knows we could use songs like this especially during these tense and uneasy days. Choosing a Leah Goldberg poem shows that this woman has class and wants us to know, but it doesn't come off as snobbish. Marina added her own music to Goldberg's poem and a part in Russian which I love even though I don't understand a word. I also love the fact that Marina is letting us know who she is. A beautiful song. Note: The original language of the song is pretty old and high Hebrew so I had a bit of trouble translating. I did my best but I suggest just listening to the song without focusing on the lyrics-which is really a shame because they are so beautiful.

Marina Maximilian Blumin-Deep in Dew

A basket full of stars
The smell of grass over-talking
Deep in dew

Here your beats are coming near
The shaking brings droplets
Deep in dew
My heart beats
