Elle featuring Amy Weintraub - out today!!!

Today we released a version of Elle sung from a different perspective: When Beth sings the song on the album, she is Elle’s grandmother. This new recording is sung by Amy Weintraub, a young woman. She sings as Elle’s mom.

Backstory:

My daughter, Whitney, was due with my first grandchild during my first year of grad school at NYU. I was in New York. She was in Chicago. Her late January due date was approaching, and so was a huge snowstorm. I decided I better go home before I couldn’t.

 I flew home on January 22nd. Elle was born the morning of January 23rd, which also happens to be my birthday.

 The last prompt Finn had given us was to write a song about a snowstorm. Clearly, regardless of the prompt, I was going to write about Elle. Which I did. Then I wrote an old-fashioned intro about an impending snowstorm. I think the first and last time I saw that intro was when I read the lyric in class.
