You Are Here and I Am Yours

by The Broken Cradle

supported by

aquaerials I'm a firm believer that the most talented artists are the ones you have never heard of, and Eric's project pretty much confirms my suspicion.

Lush ambient textures bleeding into Neoclassical vibes for roughly 45 minutes makes this the perfect album to drink alone to while evaluating the bad decisions you've made in your life.

I'm not totally comfortable throwing the word "precious" around, but I'm going to say thing record is precious,

Favorite track: The Second Chance (Promises Kept).

Gabriel Rojo Lush, intensely beautiful feelingscapes. Favorite track: The End and The Beginning.

Samuel Death (tides) Delicate, inspiring, just breathtaking! Truly spectacular composition. Favorite track: The Third Promise.

thekathrynm This soothing music gives you the time to relax, feel calm and refreshed. Favorite track: Are You There?.

about

"You Are Here and I Am Yours" is the story of family. The LP is an intimate look at what it means to be a family, from the pains of infertility and loss to the joy of adoption and birth. This is my story. This is the love letter to my children, each a unique soul that came to us in equally unique ways. Each song is a piece of a 10-year journey and tries to capture a glimpse of the most important people and moments in my life.

My hope is that you can find your own story here. While this is my memoir in a sense, I know that music takes on a new shapes, meanings, and interpretations. It is yours to listen to and, I hope, enjoy and reflect on your own life.

Thank you for listening.
