Different!

Not being a Beatles fan I'm afraid I was rather ambivalent about it.

I'm not a Beatles fan myself, but this song is one of my favorites in their répertoire. I like Noa and Mira Awad's interpretation, and the fact that they are both Israeli, one a Jew and the other an Arab born to a Palestinian father, makes their cover even more symbolic. (And a touch of optimism from time to time is a welcome gust of fresh air.)

I agree, adrien

I didn't know anything about the artists at all.
