A friend told me about singer-songwriter Nancy Erickson’s new single, NEW YEAR’S EVE, and I’ve watched and listened to it half a dozen times. Try it for yourself:
Doesn’t she sound beautiful? Her focused, husky yet natural voice is a delight. And the song is hers, which is even nicer. Nicest yet — for me, a true romantic — is that the song celebrates something more lasting than the first flush of what we often call love, something warming that goes on for decades. Although much of the music of the last century-plus is about love, how much of it is about love that sustains itself? I don’t hear this song as a gimmicky one to be tossed about between December 26 and 31, but as a real expression of feeling, something that can be hard to find these days. Not glitter but substance.
You can subscribe to Nancy’s YouTube channel here, but you will learn more about her here. And even here.
It takes a good deal to entrance me, but Nancy Erickson is well on her way. I look forward to her new CD and more . . .
May your happiness increase!
