10. I Trust My Roots with guest Samara Jade

« PreviousNext »
Song I Trust My Roots
Music & Words by Samara Jade
Lyrics
Verse: (usually sing 2 verses, then chorus)
I trust my roots
*to know where to go*
 (3x)
I trust my roots
*to know where to go*
down, down into the earth.


Chorus:
Down, down into the earth, intertwining with all beings,
I'm seeing in every direction; going down, down into the earth,
I'll send a message on the world-wide-web of interconnection.

​
Other verse options include:
*to anchor me deep*
*to reach what I need*
*to share what I got*
*to lead me to love*
*to connect us as one* ("our" roots)


Samara encourages songleaders to create their own verses to insert in between the **.

Notes  Samara Jade and I talk embodied intuition, the musical Rent, vocal health, names, mycelium, Moonshadow and trust... and Samara shares "I Trust My Roots". I sing along, periodically smudging the words, as I often do when I first learn a song (maybe you do, too?). A squidge of laughter, a dollop of wonder... it was a fabulous hour!

Music referenced in the show:
Cat Stevens, Moonshadow
the musical Rent by Jonathan Larson
Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon
singer/songwriter Johanna Warren

Songwriter Info A modern folk troubadour, Samara is dedicated to the art of listening deeply and crafting soul-centered songs that are medicine for the moment. Inspired greatly by the wild wisdom of nature and the landscape of the human psyche, her songs ride the crest of the unknown and balance between shadows and light.
Coming from a musical background as diverse as classical, jazz, folk, Broadway musical and progressive rock, Samara stitches together a unique tapestry of sounds with a quality of musicianship distinctly her own. As heart-opening as they are intellect-stimulating, A fan once coined the term "Philosopholk" to describe Samara's tunes, and no one has ever described it better in a one-word nutshell.
Samara lives in her van, Vincent VanGo, and is committed to sharing her song-beings around like thousands of spiraling maple helicopter seeds - which is, not coincidentally, what a samara is.
