Reflecting on the theme of motherhood and drawing from collective experiences, including Hall&#8217;s own one as a mother, her song cycle narrates the story of a couple who first have a stillborn child but end up conceiving again and becoming parents. Presented trough the eyes of the woman, the story addresses and encompasses the different emotions and stages of a mother&#8217;s journey. In <em>Life Cycle<\/em>, and as the press release describes, &#8220;exquisitely simple melodies and hard-edged lyrics bring to life the anxiety and impatience of pregnancy; the shadow of loss; the joy of birth; sleep deprivation and the wonder of watching a baby grow&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justified;\">To get you enticed for the release of <em>Life Cycle<\/em>, listen to the gorgeous and poignant &#8216;I Am Alone&#8217; below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/155864227&amp;color=%23c41709&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nTo coincide with International Women\u2019s Day, <em>Life Cycle<\/em> is out on March 8th through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bedroomcommunity.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bedroom Community<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s wonderful news from British composer Emily Hall who is releasing the live recordings of Life Cycle, the song cycle she wrote in 2010 with writer Toby Litt.
