I never thought that this super emotional, desperate crush song would touch so many people’s hearts, but it has.

So I wanted to make a sweet, moody video for all my fellow tenderhearts.

]]> Out in the mainstream music world, very few female musicians and singer/songwriters get heard. And yet, here in NYC, I’ve met so many amazing female-identified musicians and songwriters who overwhelm me with their talent and generosity.

The City & The Heart music compilations feature these extremely talented artists while helping to support Safe Horizon and the needs of domestic violence victims.

The City & The Heart Vol 4


That’s why I’m so pleased to have my song “The Hunter and the Deer” included on The City & the Heart Volume 4. When you buy it, you’ll hear songs from 23 female-identified NYC artists and you’ll be supporting victims of domestic violence.

You can take a listen here:

Please click here to buy the album. You can pay any amount! You’ll get a gazillion great songs plus you’ll be helping those in need.

]]> In the last few weeks we’ve seen incredible devastation from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and it seems like there’s more to come.

I know that many people in Houston are still struggling to get their lives back after Hurricane Harvey. So I’m pleased to be included in the Healers 4 Harvey compilation. It features over 30 songs from indie artists, mostly women, and all proceeds go to the Houston Food Bank, which is helping victims of the hurricane.

Please click below to buy the album for just $10. You’ll get a gazillion great songs plus you’ll be helping those in need. All proceeds go directly to the food bank.

And please use the share buttons below to get the word out on social media!

Side note: I decided to include my song, “The Waves,” because to me it reminds me of both the beauty and the fearsomeness of the ocean. I sing about frolicking, about being in love with the Atlantic, and the sunlight on your partner’s face, but also about the undertow, flimsy rafts, and the simultaneous feelings of peace and danger.

]]> Hey friends!

Jeff and I have had a BLAST at our recent shows at LIC Beer Project and Sidewalk NYC. Thanks so much to everyone who made it or was with us in spirit!

We’ve been doing some really lovely covers, like “Friend of the Devil” (check out a live video below) by the Grateful Dead and “In Spite Of Ourselves” by John Prine. But I’d like to do some more and I’m having trouble deciding.

If there’s a song you’d like us to cover, let us know! Just comment below with the song and a spotify or youtube link. I can’t guarantee we’ll pick yours, but we’ll definitely check them out.

]]> Back in 2007, I went to a now-defunct Barnes & Noble to meet one of my favorite artists and songwriters of all time, Joan Osborne. Her music had meant so much to me for so many years, and I was so excited to get to meet her.

I remember that moment really vividly, both because I got to meet someone I idolized and because it was one of those moments that made me reevaluate my endless quest for thinness.

Those if you who have seen my TEDx talk may remember me talking about “diet shakes that gave me the shakes” and back in 2007 I was using those as a dinner substitute when weight watchers stopped working for me. They were recommended by a fitness instructor I was working with to help get my weight loss “back on track.” I can’t remember if they did anything for me other than make me feel horrible, shaky, and sweaty. It was likely low blood sugar but I don’t actually know.

I waited in line for what seems like ages to meet Joan. I had had my dinner shake back at the office and as I waited I felt woozy and agitated. I tried to think of what I would say to pretty much my favorite artist of all time, whose songs had meant so much to me for so many years and whose singing voice I always seemed to emulate.

Finally I get to meet her and I felt like I sounded incoherent. I said something to her about her being a goddess, which sounded great in my mind but was mildly weird when actually said aloud. She signed my CD and I quickly asked the guy in line behind me to snap this picture.

I felt dejected as I walked down to the subway. My interaction with Joan was weird, and I was hungry but knew that when I got home I “couldn’t” have dinner. In my mind, the two were connected. Like, if I could have just had a normal meal that day I would have felt less all over the place and could have had a reasonable interaction with this person whose music meant so much to me. This wasn’t the nail in the coffin on my dieting life, but perhaps it was the moment when I considered buying the coffin in the first place.

Golda’s debut album, “A Little Luck” is available everywhere now. For more info, go to www.thatgolda.com.
