Liner Notes

#folk #girlwithukulele #music

Wrote this one with the piano in mind; started to hate it while trying to learn it there, so I tried it on baritone #ukulele . And that was that.

Another one inspired by the #dailywritingprompt. This time it's the phrase "birds go on singing" from "Hope is a Tattered Flag" by #carlsandburg.

Lyrics

Still Singing
Jemma Kline

I hear the children singing music to their phones;
They dare to make the words up as they go.
I’d like to try and write a song that’s fresh and new,
A song that I can share with all of you.

Let’s keep on singing,
While we’re together.
I’ll keep on singing,
I’ll sing with you.

The quiet sounds that I first hear after the rain
Are songbirds going back to their refrain.
So with our tears still drying fresh upon our cheeks,
Let music be the light beyond our grief.

Let’s keep on singing,
While we’re together.
I’ll keep on singing,
I’ll sing with you.

In the darkness,
In the light,
In the prisons,
When we fight,
Feel the rhythm,
Feel it grow,
Feel together,
The song we know:

Let’s keep on singing,
While we’re together.
I’ll keep on singing,
I’ll sing with you.
