My, thank you, Jill. I am so happy you liked it that much. Singing is half of my life and I am singing more or less all my life. I started in a children’s choir and got even recoreded on vinyl with a solo Part. When I was 16 I started taking singing lessons.

Wow, is all I can say! Being partly deaf since birth, I was never musically inclined at all. My mother enrolled me in piano lessons when I was young, and by the second week, the teacher asked her not to bring me again!

Oh, that must have been very frustrating for you. But then again, I can imagine that you did not enjoy it a lot. Maybe something like drums would have made more sense… feeling the beat!

Wow, this is beautiful dear lady, you can hear it calling to you. Now I do see the love of your life (besides your family 😂), and it is a lovely sound. Thank you for sharing your heart here, it is a chorus all its own 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏼 🦋

OH. MY. GOD. You are blowing my mind! Your voice is wondrous, glorious! I don’t think I can sing classical. Fooling around yeah, but seriously? I don’t think so. Years ago when I had the range (high soprano) yes I can see me singing classical. Now however? Age in progress here ….. LOVED this song, Erika! I was so taken away…. I even put headphones on!! BRAVA!!!!

Wow, my, thank you, Amy 😊That was recorded live in a church during a concert. I am a mezzo soprano but I am having a wide range both up and down. This one is basically an alto part. Unfortunately I don’t have more records of good quality from classical performances. I love singing both ways but the classical way is where I can lay everything in and I have much more power in that technique. So happy, you liked it, Amy. I am sure you are still able to sing beautifully. Only a little practice and you are back … like riding a bike, hehe. 💖

Wooo, thank you, Vonita! So cool that you listened to it! Wow!!! I am happy you enjoyed it. It is a shame I don’t have more files of my classical singing. I won a contest with the “Habanera” from Carmen. That was really great!

Thank you, Syl 😊 I am basically a mezzo-soprano, but that one was written for alto. As you heard I had more power in the higher parts. But yes, I have a pretty wide range of my voice. It still goes a lot higher. That’s why I can sing both alto and mezzo-soprano. I am happy you liked it 😊

Oh thank you, Deb! I appreciate it that you took the time to stop by. Thank you also for checking this song out. I am trained in classical singing. That is where I started. But meanwhile I sing everyhing with different voicies. My song “Rise up” combines both. Once again thank you, for your nice comment, have a blessed day, Deb!!! 😊

you’re welcome; Erika;) it was fun to create a blog like that but, my graphics didn’t turn out the same; for some reason, on the Love and Hate; I just copied and paste it, and the rules; then added my own stuff after that;)

who publishes your books? I was going to use, Amazon create space? for mine; I don’t have any finished yet, just one children s story; it was a vanity press, they make you pay for books. even when you write them unfortunately.

I checked out Amazon for my poem book “Enjoy Life”. Was curious how that works. It takes a little time but it is not too complicated. But I would never publish books likd “I’m Free” that way. There has to be the option for me to hold it in hands.

What a beautiful powerful voice. It’s funny how music. Classical especially can bridge the language barrier☺

Just saw that I never responded to this comment! Sorry, Bro! I don’t know why this slipped through! Oh yes, I do! I took my break right then… Thank you so much 😘 Unfortunately this all is set for an alto voice. A little higher and I had had more power… lol

Haha, believe me, I don’t want to be 20 again. I am so happy I am where I am. And I am happy as well that although I am 45 I am estimated a lot younger. But I don’t want to go back one single day! This is the best age ever to me.

Ah… I’m so very Happy you’re pleased,.. no, “Satisfied” with what you are! I admire you for that:) You really look a lot younger! But I guess, age is just a “number”, isn’t it?

It definitely is only a number! I am sorry for the people which are getting older and older only because they are depressed when looking at the proverbial candles of their birthday cakes.

Haha… glad I inspired you! Every day is a chance to discover the world, life, and ourselves new. The older we grow the more wonderful things we have discovered 😀
