Yet these songs are written by women who are real, not myth, and there is a tensile strength and sharp awareness hidden within the gauzy layers of loveliness. Gaze directed inward, they describe the landscape of the heart and mind, looking at fear, love and loss with clarity, confidence, and no compromises.<\/p>\n<p><em>Day Off<\/em>, has an appealing upbeat rhythm, and opens with a light-hearted invitation: &#8220;Let&#8217;s take the day off and go to the park where we&#8217;ll dance.&#8221; Yet while the cheerful rhythm continues, a darker guitar layer appears and if one listens to the lyrics, there is something very wrong with this picture: &#8220;I&#8217;ll be the last girl you&#8217;ll ever want\u2026 do as she&#8217;s told\/never grows old.&#8221;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z3ghvZdeaG0?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nOther songs, like <em>20,000 Souls<\/em>, venture deeper into the dark mysteries of introspection, while others like <em>You and Her and Me<\/em> survey the terrain of relationships with an edgy contemporary approach and bright sound. The harmonies of the title song, <em>Any Human Heart<\/em>, echo the connections and intersections described in the song, a reverie of lives and loves; the life of thoughts, feelings, and memories as vivid, or more vivid than that which we call reality.<\/p>\n<p>The Aprons have participated in the CMJ Music Marathon\u00a0in New York, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kuSzXFNKbCU\" target=\"_blank\">Indie City in Tel Aviv\u00a0with Ram Orion<\/a>, and their songs are included in the soundtracks of 10% My Child, Almost Friends, Out in the Dark, and the AOL production of the Israeli series Connected.<\/p>\n<p>Talia was born in Germany and grew up in Switzerland, her musical training is classical.
