by merely performing together.
Their answers reflect the same
guarded optimism they expressed
before.
"Obviously, a musical collaboration
like ours is not going to change the
world in a day, but it does have the
power to inspire, to open new doors in
people's hearts and heads, to challenge
what they may have held as true and
present an alternative to a grim real-
ity," Noa wrote.
"I believe these things have great
importance. They are stones thrown
in the lake, their circles expand and
join other circles to create waves, tidal
waves and, ultimately, change

Awad is blunt, writing, "Well, I don't
think a song can change the world if
that's the question, but I do think that
it throws an idea into the air, and then
it's up to people to catch that idea or
not."
But they will keep on singing
together. At the very least, Noa wrote,
she had gotten more from her per-
forming with Mira than from most of
her other musical collaborations.
"A great collaboration should be
based on mutual respect, musical
resonance and a common agenda.
Personal affinity helps a lot, too. I have
never had so much of all of the above
as with Mira." ❑
