Eddie Berman just released his new album, "Signal Fire", and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the record's latest single "First of Spring (Kiera's Song)." Here is the story:
Some years back I had written the song "Pascal's Triangle"about the birth of my older daughter Bridget and becoming a father for the first time. I also named my 2017 album Before The Bridge after her. So I've known for a while that I needed to write something good for my younger daughter Keira. I tried a number of times to force some songs before, but they never turned out well. I'm not the sort of writer that can really set out saying "I'm going to write about (blank) today."

I think I had blocked out the experience somewhat, with how terrifying it was, momentarily at least. (continue)
