Eve Goldberg - A Kinder Season
- For those who are not fans of folk music, Eve Goldberg’s A Kinder Season may be an acquired taste, as the monotony of her voice and the folktale music could become boring. But a second listen allows one to realize how literary Goldberg’s lyrics are. She sings about love intertwined with nature and the album has a couple of good tunes.
A delightful track on A Kinder Season is “Do You Want to Get Married,” where Goldberg sings about wanting to get married and making a love story official, but then turns around at the end, revealing the hassles of stereotypical wedding ceremonies when she sings, “It doesn’t have to be too big, just a few hundred of our closest friends, you know we could use a few more toasters. Just one thing though, do you mind if we don’t say obey. I don’t really like that. I can do honor, cherish, love, but obey?”
“One in a Million” is a pretty song about a girl’s relationship with her father and his eventual death. The song starts out with them “laying out in the yard staring up at Jupiter and Mars...you told me the sun was only one in a million stars.” She later uses the sun as a metaphor for her father when she sings, “Every star fades into history and someday everyone becomes a memory, but I’m staring at the moon thinking your light is gone too soon.”
