FAREWELL TO OLD BEDFORD

http://timeriksenmusic.com/
Tim Eriksen sings an old love song on the Connecticut river levy in Hadley, MA in a snow storm. Learned from the singing of Lee Monroe Presnell, Beech Mountain, NC. The river doesn't sound like this when it's not snowing. This song appears on the CDs "Tim Eriksen" and "How Can I Sleep?" by Cordelia's Dad, and will be the first track on the upcoming double live (acoustic/electric) Cordelia's Dad CD.

Amazing. I haven't heard this song in years but I sing it to myself regularly, when I'm walking or if I am feeling that mood. Your voice has gets better and better, almost unearthly but rooted deep. You are a living treasure.

-Your biggest fan from Cicero's, STL, early '90s.

Cicero's! Wow, I remember busting my head on that steel beam above the stage. Nice to hear from you!

[fireandvelvet]

Your vocals floor me. The acoustics on this piece are amaaaaaaazing.

[batfancy]

Yeah, snow really makes me want to sing. I'm enjoying Indian summer, but looking forward to winter.

This is one of those rare performances that seems to shatter the boundary between performer and listener. I follow the voice through every change of pitch; I break as it breaks and rise as it rises. The music moves up and down my spine.

Resonance--that's the word. It's what I aim for when I sing, and it's what I feel when I watch this.

[batfancy]

Thanks for the note. It's even better to do it yourself, as I can attest to by having done it myself.

My god could listen to you all day!!

[rivettlathe]

I could listen to you sing all day,

[mouldybear]

Beautiful "Sacred Harp" type song that is new to me.

[Drowningballs]

Jesus, Tim, you're my all time favourite artist. This is AMAZING.

[1stInLine1979]

I absolutely love your singing...but I love watching your videos just to see the random places you are when you sing. I love it!

[zarisstokell]
