Film Description:
Israeli-American singer, songwriter, producer, and director Sima Galanti announces the release of her new single, “Broken Wings,” available October 10, 2025, on all major streaming platforms. The song is a powerful rock collaboration featuring Palestinian singer and oud player Naser Musa and Kobi Farhi, frontman of the Israeli metal band Orphaned Land.
Blending rock with Middle Eastern influences, “Broken Wings” is performed in Hebrew, English, and Arabic, symbolizing a bridge between cultures and a shared desire for peace. The song was originally written for a documentary film that Galanti has been developing for several years. The song was the seed that sparked her journey back to Israel, where she confronted both the conflict and her own past. a project that was born from her deep wish to bridge divides, spark dialogue, and create healing through art and music.
“After October 7, the film project fell apart, and I felt as if all the air was taken out of me,” Galanti shares. “I needed to step back, reconnect with my heart, and focus on the music itself, which became a healing process of its own. ‘Broken Wings’ is the song that started this journey, and now feels like the right time to share it with the world.”
The music video for “Broken Wings” visually reflects the song’s emotional depth and message of unity amid pain and division. As Galanti explains, the release comes at a time when the world deeply needs reminders of human connection, compassion, and the transformative power of art.
“Broken Wings is not just a song, it’s my way of expressing the pain of a conflict that has been part of my entire life, while also offering a message of unity and love,” Galanti continues. “When there is so much hate, division, and fear, I believe it’s an artist’s role to remind us of our shared humanity.”
Through its lyrics and collaborations, Broken Wings carries both the weight of war and the light of possibility, reminding listeners that “only love will save us, make us whole.”
