I Hear You Sing Again
Celebrating Mother’s Day Everyday
Scrolling across social media recently, I came across these beautiful words by Woody Guthrie and Janis Ian, bringing back many warm memories of nights out, family gatherings, community concerts and services in St Mary’s Church in Tarbert.
I Hear You Sing Again
If I could only hear my mother sing again
If I could close my eyes and hear your voice as then
All the friends and family
would sing along with me,
and set your spirit free
In my heart I hear you sing again
Every note as natural as then
and when I sing those songs
for family and friends,
in my heart I hear you sing again
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie and Janis Ian
We were fortunate to record my mother, Eithne Creedon in July 1973 – then, 50 years young. You are welcome to listen to the short recording below:
