She met Frank Wildhorn who immediately fell in love with her and her incredible voice. He set about writing the musical "Jekyll and Hyde" with her in mind for the role of Lucy. Although the show did rather poorly, Linda was a sensation. Her pure tone broke listeners' hearts with laments like "No One Knows Who I am" and "Sympathy, Tenderness" and her unleashed power in torch songs like "Good 'n' Evil" and "A New Life" sent her immediately into league with other Broadway leading ladies like Barbara Streisand and Bernadette Peters.
Her range stretches from a rich alto to an impressive array of ringing whistle tones. Her tone is pure, powerful, and full of emotion. Her voice and singing style have often been compared to that of Barbara Streisand, but Linda has always said that from childhood her biggest inspiration has been and continues to be Judy Garland. This veneration culminated in the making and release of her tribute album "By Myself: The Songs Of Judy Garland."
Linda Eder remains one of the most powerful and talented performers alive.

Linda Eder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get caught out in the rain
Blue skies turn to grey sometimes
We've all heard that refrain
As long as there's someone
Who will take you as you are
You'll never need a lucky star
One who'll care and just love you
You'll make it through
And when there's a shoulder to cry on
Someone you can rely on
Be there too for that someone there for you
Everybody needs a friend
Every now and then
When you feel you're near the end
Just remember when
Somebody held you in their
Lovin' arms and then
Helped you start over again
'Cause when someone's there who will listen
Someone there who won't judge you
One who'll care and just love you
You'll make it through
And when there's a shoulder to cry on
Someone you can rely on
Be there too for that someone there for you
When you're there for someone
Someone's always there for you
The lyrics of Linda Eder's song "Someone" is about the importance of having someone who will support you through all the ups and downs of life. The song speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost or alone, of feeling like the weight of the world is too heavy to bear alone. The lyrics acknowledge the fact that everyone goes through tough times, and that it's during those moments that we need someone to lift us up.
The song encourages listeners to find solace in the fact that there is always someone who will take you as you are, someone who will listen to you without judgment, and who will love you unconditionally. Having this kind of support system can give us the strength we need to persevere and make it through whatever challenges life throws our way.
The overall message of "Someone" is a powerful one: that we are never truly alone as long as we have someone who cares about us. No matter how hard life gets, there will always be someone we can rely on to be there for us.
