Her first solo album Early Days was released in 1999/2000, followed by Titles & Idols in 2001, both on K7 Records & met with critical reviews bringing her folk & singer-songwriter origins to the forefront.
Her latest solo effort, Wholehearted is now being considered her best work to date thanks to the superb production of Jez Colin, Phillippe Balatier & Pascal Reva and first-rate musicianship from keyboardist Deron Johnson (Miles Davis, Seal), guitarist Jaime Kime (Jewel) and trumpetist Enzo Villaparedes (Earth, Wind & Fire).
“Who knew modern jazz could sound this incredible? For any jazz fan out there I would highly recommend that you give the latest release by Beth Hirsch a listen. Even those not into her genre of music will be vastly impressed. The works of Beth Hirsch are a great find from a talent that deserves to be internationally recognized.”
L. Anne Carrington / Helium US
“It's a rare creature indeed who has the grace to spare us the usual self-indulgence and deliver something that's both optimistic and touching.”
Rod Thomas / Wears the Trousers UK
“The professional arrangements of the songs on Wholehearted are excellent and fresh and radiate class through the whole album as well as easy an coasting/floating feeling from this talented realm singer.”

Dream On
Beth Hirsch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta go out again
No not tonight again
I'll let you know
I assure you
Give me a moment
Some faith and a moment
If you want to hold me
Where are those tears coming from?
Held down in the well
That spring forth like children
Who live for the summer
[Chorus]
They lie in the marigolds
Then fly underground
Subscribe to the marigolds
Imbibed with the lightest sounds
Let me dream again
Let me dream on
Where did our beauty go?
that's right you told me so
How hard you tried me
To keep it
Love is invincible
Love's indestructible
What made you think
You might cheat it?
Where are those tears coming from?
Held down in the well
That spring forth like children
Who live for the summer
[Chorus]
Let me dream again
Let me dream on [Repeats]
The lyrics to Beth Hirsch's song "Dream On" seem to touch on a few different themes. On the surface, it appears to be about someone who is hesitant to go out again and is asking for a moment to collect themselves before they make any decisions. The lines "I'll let you know, I assure you/Give me a moment, some faith and a moment" suggest that the singer needs some time to think things over before committing to anything.
However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that there is more going on beneath the surface. The lines "Where are those tears coming from?/Held down in the well/That spring forth like children/Who live for the summer" suggest that the singer is dealing with some deep emotions that they are struggling to express. They feel like they have been holding back tears for a long time and that they are finally starting to come to the surface.
Later in the song, the lyrics become more introspective. The lines "Where did our beauty go?/That's right you told me so/How hard you tried me/To keep it" suggest that the singer is reflecting on a lost relationship and wondering where things went wrong. They feel like they did everything they could to keep the relationship alive, but in the end, it fell apart anyway. The lines "Love is invincible/Love's indestructible/What made you think/You might cheat it?" suggest that the singer still has faith in love, even though they have been hurt in the past.
Overall, the lyrics to "Dream On" are open to interpretation, but they seem to touch on themes of emotional struggle, lost love, and the desire to hold onto hope in the face of difficult circumstances.

Dream on
Keep hoping and dreaming, don't give up
Gotta go out again
I need to leave and face life's challenges
No not tonight again
I'm not up for socializing tonight
I'll let you know
I'll keep you informed of my plans
I assure you
You have my word and my guarantee
Give me a moment
I need some time to think and reflect
Some faith and a moment
Believe in me and give me a chance to prove myself
If you want to hold me
If you need my support or affection
I'll let you
I'll be there for you
Where are those tears coming from?
What is causing this emotional pain and sadness?
Held down in the well
Bottled up and hidden away
That spring forth like children
That burst forth like youthful energy
Who live for the summer
Full of hope and joy for the future
They lie in the marigolds
These feelings are buried and hidden
Then fly underground
Suddenly emerge and take over
Subscribe to the marigolds
Be part of this hidden world of emotions
Imbibed with the lightest sounds
Full of delicate and gentle sensations
Where did our beauty go?
What happened to our love and connection?
That's right you told me so
I remember you warning me about this
How hard you tried me
You tested my loyalty and devotion
To keep it
To maintain our relationship and love
Love is invincible
Love cannot be defeated or destroyed
Love's indestructible
Love is strong and enduring
What made you think
Why did you believe or assume
You might cheat it?
You could betray or ruin our love?
Let me dream again
Let me hope and imagine good things once more
Let me dream on
Let me keep dreaming and never give up
