'Just Like The Waves' - PRESS
 

OUT NOW!

'Just Like The Waves' is the second release from the latest EP written, composed, and produced by Elinor Sitrish & producer Adam Chavez

'Just Like The Waves' is the perfect pop tune for the end of winter and the beginning of spring...:)

It talks about the search for that one special love we’re all hoping to find during our lifetime, and about the ups and downs, we are facing during that search. It seems like no matter how many times we try and fail, how many times we love and break, and how many storms we face, we eventually pull ourselves back together, and with a scarred heart, we keep on searching for that love, because at the end of the day, love is fundamental to our existence, and we all wish to arrive to our safe shore, just like the waves...

The song has been released on March 24, 2023, and is now available on all streaming platforms. Enjoy!

ELINOR SITRISH - 1ST CHILDREN'S BOOK RELEASE
WELCOME HOME, MUFFIN!

August 26, 2021 - Happy International dog day.

"My precious Lady came into my life a few years ago when I met my dear husband. She was a dirty neglected puppy when she was first found on the streets, from there moved to a shelter, then to a home that had to give her away at some point due to personal reasons… Luckily, my husband was in the right place at the right time and decided he will take care of her and provide her a good, happy, and stable home for good! Since then, she has been nothing but a huge blessing to us both! A year after I met my husband, we decided to get Lady a friend, and then came Charlie…! and the love and joy we’ve received from Lady just doubled! Words cannot express our love and gratitude for these two little Patzos! They have completely changed our lives and expanded our hearts Now, here is a cool connection:

I decided to write my first children’s book a few years back (before I met my husband) and there was born “Welcome home Muffin”!

A book about compassion, love, and friendship. It took me some time to finish the execution part …but I finally did it! 

🥁🥁🥁I’m happy to announce that my first children's book is out and available on Amazon!  I hope my book will inspire you and your loved ones to adopt and to give a new chance in life to someone else! Remember, there’s always something good we can do for others and the reward is something that money cannot buy, and words cannot explain! Always chose to be the light."

 

Much love, Elinor ♥️

IMAGINE...

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Written & composed by: John Winston Lennon

"Dear friends,

 

The past few months were pretty amazing! 
The response to my last tour with the incredible Yuval Ron Ensemble was beyond imagination! 

My biggest wish as a musician is to be able to touch souls and open hearts through music.

To be able to move what is standing still. To be able to wake what is sleeping deep.

While I was singing to you, something incredible happened!

You turned into an echo of the sounds we created and your beautiful souls and big hearts touched and opened mine!  

I would like to thank everyone who came out to our concerts.

Thank you for allowing us to take you for a ride in our neighborhood!

Together we created magic!


I love you all,


Elinor. "
