Eddi Reader - Baby's Boat
Eddi releases her brand new single 'Baby's Boat' on 4 November!
You can pre-order it now from iTunes: itunes.apple.com/ph/album/babys-boat-single/id709606438
Eddi had this to say about the new single:
"The words for Baby's Boat are from a lullaby I heard in the Robert de Niro film, Awakenings. I've always wanted to use them. They were written around 1898 by a woman called Alice Riley who encouraged young women to learn to dance, sing, act, and to be involved in public affairs.
She died in 1953 in Pasadena, which is now my brother's home. We were inspired after a run in with our little babes now turning into adults and teaching us how to let go. We all started jamming with it in my house, Mark captured it on tape, and I spent time editing it into a song. John came up with this melody from one I improvised.
Upon finishing recording I symbolically chucked a bottle with a message in it off the pier at Clydebank.I whispered a prayer into the bottle before screwing down the lid. I watched it float towards the Clyde estuary and on to Argyll and someplace other...Sail Baby Sail."

Eddi Reader - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Переглядів 8 тис.11 років тому
Today I was so full of independence debate and spring sunshine... exhausted explaining that independence didn't mean I hated England... I love England. Then the guitar winked at me and it was sitting waiting for me in my favourite tuning and Don't Think Twice wanted to put in its penny's worth. Eddi xxxx

    I had this played at my husband's funeral and the words were in his coffin. A beautiful song about love and loss. "Had we never loved so kindly Had we never loved so blindly Nor never met, nor never parted We would ne'er ha' been so broken-hearted" 💔💔

    I may have commented previously. My brother suggested this song, this version, to escort my mother's coffin out of our church. My dad agreed. I have no recollection of that journey on the day but I know any challenge, personal or physical, I've had since , this song has always been to hand. Beautiful song. Beautifully sung. Thank you Eddi Reader!

    First time I heard this was returning to Orkney to watch some friends climb the Old Man, whilst I “rested” after my latest round of chemo. Eddie’s voice has always reminded me of my struggles but also how much I’ve achieved and how much I still want to challenge.

    Burns never said actually he was sorry. Yes a beautiful song to his own heart and not to a women, a Fond kiss to his own heart. A lament to himself. No Eddie he never got over it. He will will need generations to get him further.
