8/2/2023 6 Comments 112. Let Me Sing
Notes: A sweet short song like this brings me deep rewards -- the chance to drop into the joy, the preciousness, the abundance of simply being alive. For me to learn it, Jane sent me "a just rough off the looper" recording -- and it was so, so beautiful! Don't miss the links to Jane's recorded music -- her voice is like flavored butter -- smooth with an extra kick -- and the sense you get of her self that infuses her singing is generous and gentle and joystruck. My version doesn't sound nearly as good as her's to me -- and yet, it was such a pleasure to get to sing the song, and I think it'll work so you can learn the song and take it on into your own life, with your own voice. If Jane ever records it, or you get a chance to hear Jane live, maybe you can sing it along with her!
Songwriter Info: Jane Lewis is a singer-songwriter, workshop facilitator, and community music instigator. She is a strong believer in the power of music to bring people together. When not performing with her folk/roots duo Gathering Sparks, she can be found leading vocal & harmony workshops, Circle Singing, Vocal Meditation, and Women's Music Weekend retreats. ​Sharing Info: Yes — The song is free to use/share, but Jane always welcomes networking support. A financial contribution when folks are able is also appreciated!

I appreciate the connection to you who are listening and singing these songs with me. Exchange energy with A Breath of Song with dollars at the Gratitude Jar (whoo-hoo!!!!), or by making comments, leaving reviews, suggesting songs or songwriters (including yourself) ..... your participation matters!​

Glori9us, lovely song, Patricia! If someone asks me why I sing, I would answer, "Because I would die if I didn't."

Beautiful, calming and powerful. I learned this song in the time it took me to unravel a misknitted section of a sock. I am reminded that we are not our human foibles.

Hi Patricia - It is February 25 and I'm spending time looking for songs to hold myself and my children during this time of mourning. I am also in the middle of Annie Arrington's class - learning to read choral music. As I listened to you talk about the home notes, I realize that I instinctively recognized 1-3-5/do-mi-so!!

Such a beautiful practice to find the songs that hold you and your loved ones as you grieve. And hooray for the developing understanding of the structures underneath songs -- the more we know about something, the more deeply we can appreciate it, seems to me... Leave a Reply. |
