IF YOU GO HEAR ELLEN LERNER, DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE ROOM FALLS SILENT. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FROM LERNER, RATHER A STATEMENT OF HER FANS AND AUDIENCE. THEY WANT TO REALLY HEAR THE MUSIC- THEY WANT TO HEAR WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY.. AND SHE SAYS QUITE A LOT!
LISTENERS ARE STILL AMAZED AS TO HOW LERNER CAN GET SO MANY CHARACTERS IN HER NOVEL-LIKE LYRICS TO COME ALIVE WITHIN SUCH A SIMPLE DELIVERY.
LERNER HAS A VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HER SONGS AND HER AUDIENCE. SHE EXPLAINS, "WHAT IS REALLY ME IS SINGING A STORY THAT IS MY OWN OR THAT I CAN MAKE MY OWN. I KNOW MY STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AND I NEED A LISTENING AUDIENCE. THAT HONESTY COMES ACROSS IN MY WORK. SOMETIMES THERE IS A LYRIC I DO NOT WANT IN THERE, BUT I CAN'T CHANGE IT, BECAUSE THAT LINE IS THE TRUTH."
FANS SEEM TO AGREE AND ALWAYS SEEM TO COME BACK FOR MORE-EVEN AFTER LERNER TOOK OFF SOME TIME TO RAISE HER SON AND LAST YEAR PUT OUT AN ALBUM. "I PICKED THESE SONGS FOR THE CD BY ASKING FRIENDS AND FANS WHAT THEIR FAVORITE SONGS WERE, AND I WAS TRULY LUCKY TO PLAY WITH SOME AMAZING MUSICIANS!! I HAVE HAD SO MUCH SUPPORT FROM MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS WELL AS THE MUSIC COMMUNITY AND I AM TRULY BLESSED!"
IT IS LERNER'S PURE HEART AND HONESTY THAT SEEM TO HAVE PEOPLE ALWAYS COMING BACK FOR MORE, ALWAYS LEAVING A LIVE SHOW WITH SMILES ON THEIR FACES, AND CONSTANT ROTATION IN HER FAN'S CD PLAYERS!
ELLEN LERNER IS DISCOVERING THINGS ABOUT HERSELF THROUGH MUSIC. SHE TRAVELS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MUSICAL HEROES AND HER OWN SOUND, FROM REFLECTIONS ON HER OWN UPBRINGING TO RAISING A SON, AND DISCOVERING ANEW WHAT HER MESSAGE MEANS IN A DIFFERENT TIME AND PLACE. IT IS A TRIUMPH OF MASTERING A NEW STAGE OF LIFE UPON THE STAGE OF MUSIC- HER VERY FIRST LOVE.
