about

I began writing this song shortly after October 7 in response to witnessing the ongoing violence and turmoil in Israel-Palestine as well as the extremism, propaganda (of multiple kinds) and polarization that has proliferated since then. Being a Jewish person in a moment like this, especially one who briefly lived there and still has loved ones on both "sides" out there has been...well, a trip. To put it mildly. And while I am in absolutely in no way the most victimized person in this scenario, especially as someone who currently lives in the US, I was (and to be real, still am) holding a lot of grief, fear, worry, anger, and other heavy, complicated feelings about what's been happening that didn't have anywhere to go. So as I often do, I turned to songwriting because sometimes songs can express things in a way other mediums cannot. I hope that hearing this song also gives you the permission to feel all of the heaviness and move through it, regardless of what "team" you're on.

In the meantime, aside from hoping you'll enjoy "The Same Old Song," I'd like you, yes you, the person reading this to do 1 thing. Call your representatives and demand that they use their power to push for 1) a BI-LATERAL, SUSTAINABLE ceasefire between Hamas and the Israeli government to stop the mass bloodshed in Gaza AND 2) the immediate and safe return of my Israeli siblings who have been held hostage for the past almost 5 months. It is imperative that you demand BOTH of these things EXPLICITLY at the same time. Not one or the other, BOTH. Bi-lateral, sustainable ceasefire now AND bring them home now!
