How Can I Keep On Singing

Champlain Valley Folk Festival
Annual Live Music Concerts Workshops & Children's Events
Ferrisburgh, Vermont
Kingsland Bay State Park

Een festival met voor mij onbekende artiesten als o.a Moira Smiley & Voco(dames a capella groep),singer/songwriter Anais Mitchell en The Guy Mendilow Band.Deze artiesten speelden een compleet spontane en geimproviseerde set met dit schitterende nummer als hoogtepunt Ik vind het erg mooi


HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING?

Deze song is geschreven door Rev. Robert Wadsworth Lowry in 1869.
Doris Plenn leerde het lied van haar grootmoeder die er van overtuigd was dat het oorspronkelijk een kwam uit de begin tijd van de Quaker beweging , Plenn maakte er deze versie van omstreeks 1950,waarna Pete Seeger en andere folkartiesten het in hun repertoire opnamen.

When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,

And hear their death-knell ringing,

When friends rejoice both far and near,

How can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile,

Our thoughts to them go winging;

When friends by shame are undefiled,

How can I keep from singing?

Uit het archief: Van Morrison - Into The Mystic

Ben ondertussen al een paar jaar met dit blog bezig en beleef er veel plezier aan .Veel van de filmpjes die ik hiervoor verzameld heb staan nog op mijn harde schijf en het lijkt me leuk om die nog eens te vertonen.Natuurlijk veel Van Morrison,persoonlijk vind ik dit een hele mooie.

                             

"Into the Mystic" is one of Morrison's warmest ballads, an Otis Redding-style reverie with acoustic guitar and horns. The lyrics are truly mysterious: "People say, 'What does this mean?' " said Morrison. "A lot of times I have no idea what I mean. That's what I like about rock & roll — the concept. Like Little Richard — what does he mean? You can't take him apart; that's rock & roll to me."

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic

Come on girl...
