Linda Eder "Broken Vow" by Lara Fabian

(First...thanks again to Billy Stein for taking my self recorded vocals and mixing the track to make it sound like it wasn't recorded in my basement)
The lyrics to this song do not completely fit the story of this tragedy, but so many of the lyrics do fit as well as say something I would have liked to have said. The emotion and sadness of this song fit perfectly for me so I felt the need to record it as my way of paying tribute, and also to deal with the trauma that this event has caused me, my town and all the people who knew them. This is not a story of cheating. It is, sadly, one of the mental illness that led to a Broken Vow. This shutdown magnifies problems in our lives and sometimes pushes people over the edge. If you know of anyone you suspect may be in emotional trouble than please reach out. I wish I would have.

Sadly but my health is getting bad. My birthday is tomorrow and I hit 70. I’m still performing, but it’s difficult. However, my love for Linda is never ending, and now that includes wonderful people like you! God Bless you and yours

[@kacsing]

Your control is insane. How you effortlessly move in and out of belt and falsetto, like a smooth wave flowing across the water. Your musicality brings me to tears every time I get to hear you sing. Thank you SO much for continuing to post your beautiful music. We are all better for it.

Linda has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. Her singing on this recording is beyond words. ❤❤❤❤

[@malikshah]

Such a beautiful rendition of Lara Fabian's wondrous song. I am so sorry for all involved in this tragedy and hope this performance provides people solace.

My gossssshhhh.., from Fabian to Eder... they're both emotionally perfect. I'm so speechless to Linda Eder's version.. She's so ethereal😍😙😘

Beautiful Linda

[@derekhargrove761]

I hope you record this for an album- it is a beautiful song- everyone that records it does a great job, J. Groban; Jackie Evancho, Lara Fabian and now yours fits nicely along with their's!

[@karincollins5836]

Did you know that Lara Fabian wrote it? Linda Eder could sing the phone book and I would listen to it over and over again. She is AMAZING!

A wonderful rendition of a great song. I have played Laura's version and Josh Groban's version but now I will play this. I too have experienced personal tragedy and this has helped me.

This has been a favorite song of mine since I first heard it by Lara Fabian and then Josh Groban. I have always felt that is a song that Linda should record. Thank you and for your inspiration at this time. I remain a dedicated fan!

People have said that there is a cry in your voice. The raw emotion you put into this tribute is heart wrenching.

So beautiful Linda! A wonderful tribute by you. This crazy time that we are in is so sad for so many out there dealing with mental health issues or addiction. I pray for all of us to get back to some kind of normal sooner than later. Thank you and be well.

[@geniemastropierro4762]

[@willec7105]

This is a deeply touching prayer for which I am grateful. I hope you find the kind of solace you are generously providing for us here.

[@cynthiastanfordsuppon5761]

I'm sorry for your loss Linda and hope working on this brought some means of comfort. It's delicate, special and somehow perfect considering this time when we have to celebrate moments together, because we're unsure just what's around the next curve. Your beautiful music and voice is a soothing tonic...hopefully for you as much as for all of us.

[@Mtripp005]

I love her so much. Her songs have been in my heart since star search. I wish I could tell her how special she is.

You just did and I thank you very much!

[@Mtripp005]

@@lindaederofficialyoutube OMG!! Linda Eder herself just replied to my message. There aren’t words to describe how much that made my day. I’m recently getting over a double bypass and things are rough. But after that, to quote Cyrano, I am too strong for mortals, bring me giants! Thanks for taking the time to make my day!

The lyrics may not reflect the tragedy that occurred, but the emotion and sentiment resonate in every note. Thank you for sharing in spite of the heartbreak that you and your community - and those directly affected - were dealing with.

[@paulmattson545]

This is gorgeous! I've always loved the way you emote through your singing. This recording is a prime example. I am sorry for the tragedy that inspired this, but I hope that recording and sharing this has brought you some closure.

I love this song. Condolences to your friends. You have the greatest singing voice of any female. I will have a beer and listen to more of your music.

[@StevenLutz1970]

Sometimes I'm glad there are only so many songs in the world. From the very first time I head Lara sing this, I wondered how it would cut for you. Question answered, though I never did expect it to be. Well done, it's a nice rendition.

[@MarkPrigoff]

A favorite of mine!

i just got this CD and couldn"t have happier. I could listen to her all day. The only thing that bugged me was there are a couple of songs that were on past CD"s. Wish there would have been all new ones. I'll let her slide this time..Can't wait to see her in person hopefully real soon!!

Please record that. 🤩
