Exactly Where We re From--Mirah
And in the evening when i come
You'll hear the silence of my strum
The ringing of the thundery drums
When love forgives from up above
The thirsty person who knows not
The shimmer of a brow that's fraught
We have been blessed with certain thoughts
And speak with very little talk
And in the darkness we will walk
Until the day does make us stop
We'll check the belly of the sun
To know exactly where we're from
And in the evening when i come
You'll hear the silence of my strum
The ringing of the thundery drums
When love forgives from up above
The thirsty person who knows not
The shimmer of a brow that's fraught
We have been blessed with certain thoughts
And speak with very little talk
And in the darkness we will walk
Until the day does make us stop
We'll check the belly of the sun
To know exactly where we're from
To know exactly where we're from
To know exactly where we're from
Mirah，原名Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn，1974年9月17日生于费城，作为家中三个孩子中最小的一个，幼年在宾州近郊度过，大学时自学吉他和歌曲创作。97年在yoyo旗下发行处女专辑Storageland，99年转入K record厂牌， 开始同好友Phil Elvrum一起尝试多种乐器演奏并发行了You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This（2000）、Advisory Committee（2002）、Cold, Cold Water（EP，2002）Songs from the Black Mountain Music Project等几张唱片2004年5月，最新唱片c’mon Miracle发行。
新专辑中收录了11首歌，在Mirah的一个歌迷网站由歌迷投票评选出的最受欢迎的曲目中，新曲Jerusalem高居榜首，此外，Nobody Has to Stay、Don’t Die in Me、We’re Both SoSorry、The Light和Look Up分居2至6位，可见新专辑中的曲目在歌迷中的受欢迎程度。专辑中融入了大量的音效，使得整张专辑听上去兼并了电子和乡村的风格，但众多声音并没有喧宾夺主，反倒是恰如其分的烘托出了Mirah宝石般动人的清甜嗓音。
Mirah的音乐真实，简单而又充满了甜蜜的气息，但同时也不失大气和有趣，因此倍受欢迎也就是理所应当的。如果你把Mirah的歌放给喜欢Sarah McLachlan或者Avril Lavigne的人听，他们的第一反应很可能是难以接受的，Mirah是真正可以作为通向新的流行音乐世界的一扇大门的。有人说Mirah和 Frente!的主唱Angie 的声音有着几许相似，“亲切婉转，带点俏皮”。Mirah富有深度的歌词——关于爱，关于背叛，关于距离，关于时光的流逝，唤起了人们对周围的人和事的情感表达，常常令人联想起童年般纯洁美好的回忆。
