I love the music of Eva Cassidy. I first learned about her from a news program a few years ago. She had the voice of an angel and unfortunately I didn’t discover her until long after her death. Eva will have no “Graceland” to immortalize her but she has a steady number of devoted fans that marvel at her pure, soulful voice.

If you are naturally depressed just listen to Eva and your cares will be lessened. There is something comforting in her soft, melodic tone that envelopes me with the hand of God. I feel comforted. Many of the songs she sang were classics but she breathed new life into them and she always makes me take another look so to speak. There is something new every time I hear her sweet voice.

I bought a few cds hoping her parents would get something out of it and not some recording company fat cat.

I never knew that Cyndi Lauper wrote “Time After Time” until recently. I should have known but I wasn’t in to her type of music in the eighties. I was into having a baby, getting a divorce and raising my son. There was no time for music but we all really need music to comfort our souls. I love this song. It’s all about being there for someone else. I believe you cannot truly remain heartless and unaffected by life if you listen to Eva. She will bring out the best in you.
