6/29/2022 8 Comments 57. Farewell
Notes: What are summer songs for you? I think of summer as a time of greeting and gathering and workshops and camps and goodbyes and endings... a time of physicality, sensuality, heat, languor... I notice my body responding to light and heat. When I tune inward, I listen for what hums, what hurts, what is healing. Especially in this time, I notice what memories are loosened and how tender connections feel -- which brings me to this song, which is a farewell wish that could be sung to anyone -- family, friends, people we don't yet know. It might even be sung to an inner self that we are extra aware of, or listen to, and then ask to wait while we tend to other demands. As we leave gatherings of family or friends or memories, we can hum this song, envisioning each, wishing them well. In the last line of lyrics, I use the pronoun "her" for love -- but please, sing whichever pronoun embodies love for you -- his, her, their, our, xer, sher -- craft a version that evokes warmth in you.
Songwriter Info: That would be me, so both of the websites below have stuff... Links: abreathofsong.com juneberrymusic.com Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, Ionian, melody with counter-harmony Join the A Breath of Song mailing list to receive a heads up as a new episode is released, plus a large version of the artwork, brief thoughts from my slightly peculiar brain... and occasional extras when they seem vitally important! No junk -- I will never sell your address. I read out all your names into my living room when I send new mailings... 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!

Thank you, Farewell, for bringing me to the campfires of summer camp. The joy of being surrounded by the voices of the campers and the crackle of the fire is central to the wellness of my spirit.

Patricia, I love the melody and words of your Farewell! It was easy for me to sing along with it. How do you keep this up week after week, with all the threads of your life claiming time and attention. You never cease from being a wonder to me. Much love, Alice

I'm so delighted, Alice! I love to know you're singing with me... and I do this because it nourishes me to choose the songs and dig into them for a little while... and then to share them feels so good! Net energy gain!!!

Patricia, in addition to the sweetness of this song, I love your alliteration in the second line. You are a musician AND a poet! Thank you so much for sharing. I love singing with you.
