iTunes makes "that music from the MacBook Air commercial" available
If you, like many other Apple (and non-Apple) customers has fallen in love with the new MacBook Air commercial, you can now easily find its "I'm a New Soul" song in iTunes. Israeli musician Yael Naim sings this hauntingly beautiful song, and because we love you guys, here's the entire song and original video courtesy of YouTube. "I'm a new soul. I came to this strange world hoping, I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take." Sadly, the fish probably dies. Don't throw goldfish into natural lakes, guys.

It's the number 1 song on the iTunes US Store currently. Bet Yael Naim and her label are pleased about that :)

I have a pond in my garden (in Vancouver Canada). I put "domesticated" goldfish in there and they've been fine for years and years and years. I don't care for them, don't feed them. They find stuff to eat. Sometimes raccoons eat them. The pond freezes over every winter, but every spring the fish are still there. The very smart ones are able to hide from raccoons and herons, and are still alive after about a decade. I don't think you have to worry about the goldfish. They are quite hardy.

Remember TUAW readers, Erica is just a writer for TUAW. I get the feeling that TUAW may need to take a closer look at her articles to make sure she is worth being "on the payroll".
Now maybe she meant that Apple has "highlighted" Yael Naim's song "New Soul" as the song from the MBA ad. If that is the case, I think she needs to give her "headlines" a bit more consideration before posting blog posts.
I have this album and was pleased to see Yael Naim's music used in the Macbook Air commercial. She is a great artist.

Also, most of the tracks on the album are in Yiddish which doesn't really work for me on this type of smooth, lilting and introspective material. I love Klezmer music and even some of the more serious religious stuff out of Israel, but this album would definitely sound better either all in French or all in English to my ears.
its not yiddish its hebrew

Yiddish sounds like German... Hebrew does not.
"Naim" means pleasent in hebrew (just incase anyone cared...)
