about

Walk.Talk.Dance.Sing wraps up with “Singing Along for the First Time,” released in conjunction with the EP. It takes on a shuffle beat folk style sound, with a hint of Ed Sheeran. It’s upbeat, quick, and has a guest appearance by Crosby Cofod in fiddle. “Singing Along for the First Time” is about hope and joy, finding the joy and majesty in music and the power it has over us. It’s a celebration of music. Eli shares, “When we realize what music can do to our hearts and souls and bodies, there's this new yet ancient reckoning of us re-becoming our human selves and what it means to be part of the larger community of humanity.”

lyrics

I was the age of eight when I played the tape
And I heard a voice come through
It was singing loud and singing strong
To the words I barely knew
I was hanging on to the edge of the song
Waking up all my senses
I'm, untied
I'm singing along for the first time

For the first time
Singing along for the first time

I've been hearing songs since I came along
On radio and TV
But this one song when it came on
Felt like it was just for me
Now I'm singing along for the first time

For the first time
Singing along for the first time

It was Springsteen in the street
Cash in the summer heat
Willie on the road
Cobain in the cold
Stevie in my room
Learning every line to that tune
When the chorus came it was my chance to
Get up and start to dance away
Away, away, away
I'm singing along for the first time

For the first time
I'm singing along for the first time
I'm singing along for the first time

It was Springsteen in the street
Cash in the summer heat
Willie on the road
Cobain in the cold
Stevie in my room
Learning every line to that tune
When the chorus came it was my chance to
Singing along for the first time
