Maria Weissman’s new single, “The Poet,” is an evocative blend of personal storytelling and artistic collaboration. Born from a unique partnership with her late grandfather, Norman Weissman, the song is a heartfelt tribute to family, legacy, and the creative spirits that shaped her life. Set to Norman’s unpublished poem, Weissman’s composition intertwines vocals and piano in a hauntingly beautiful melody. The emotional weight of the project is amplified by its timing—completed just before her grandfather’s passing, it became a final act of love.
“The Poet” stands as both a musical homage to Weissman’s ancestors, including renowned artist Arthur Millier, and a reflection on the enduring nature of art itself. I find this song not just a musical piece, but a powerful meditation on connection and the legacies we leave behind. Be sure to follow Maria Weissman online and add this moving song to your playlist!
