2 | For years I've been collecting songs that can be taught largely without written words, sheet music, or instrumental accompaniment. They're songs for worship, meetings, rallies, or spiritual practice. You may notice that some songs don't have attributions or recordings. I'd especially love to fill those in. If you have knowledge of where a particular song came from, who wrote it, or where I might find a recording of it, please reach out and let me know. In faith, gratitude, and liberation, Matt Meyer matt@rhythmrevelations.com rhythmrevelations.com | With gratitude to the Lucy Stone Co-op, Kavod House, Sanctuary Boston, AUUMM, IfNotNow, Cosecha, Black Lives Matter, Pipeline Activists, and dozens of UU musicians across the country who taught me these songs one at a time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Leslie Takahashi | Verses from a traditional American folk song? Chorus traditional African American (popularized by Sidney Poitier in Lilies of the Field) | Original verses: "When I get to the other side, I ain't gonna work no more. I work so much whenI'm on this side, my legs are tired and my back is sore. When I get to the other side, I ain't gonna drink no more. I drink so much when I'm on this side, I forget what I started for. When I get to the other side, I ain't gonna pray no more. Pray so much when I'm on this side, Never get what I'm asking for." Matt learned this from Nicole Singer, who learned it from a guy riding freight trains. | 96 | |||||||||||||||||||

The English adaptation was written by Rabbi Shefa Gold, a pioneer in the practice of ecstatic Jewish chant. She writes “I wrote this practice in honor of the winter solstice leading up to the passage of Chanukah. In preparation for this chant, recall the shining peak moments in your life that revealed to you a great joy or profound wisdom, moments of ecstasy or prophesy, delight or enchantment. Imagine those moments as seeds. Create an intention to plant those seeds and tend them with your loving attention as you grow a life of joy and light.” | 112 | ||||||||||||||||||||
