At the end of our Apprenticeship program in 2019, we had a marathon ceremony to sing the whole book from beginning to end. It was an incredible experience that took 37 hours and many cups...

We recorded it all for the sake of learning the songs and connecting to SOL spirit. The sounds of the forest are singing with us.

Keep an eye on this playlist, we will continue to upload the tracks here in the upcoming months:

Lyrics:

Oh canto a voz da Lua 
Oh canto alma do Mar

No meu coração 
Corre um riacho 
Ondas que vem 
Pra me levar

Oh sings the voice of the Moon 
Oh sings the soul of the Sea

In my heart 
Flows a river 
Waves that come 
To take me

121 - CANTO A VOS DA LUA

Ready by Ben Gould and Britta Gudmunson

Origin:
We don't know who wrote this song, if you do, please let us know in the comments!

This song came to our community through folks who learned it at a Let My People Sing workshop taught by the farmers at Linke Fligl. 

This version is a collaborative audio recording created by NSP members. Folks sang individually into their phones and computers, and then we edited the audio tracks, weaving all the voices together. We created this recording for a Musical Tu Bishvat Seder in 2021, hosted by Hadar's Rising Song Institute.

Singers: Sarah Beth Alcabes, the Balis family, Jen Liebschutz, Lauren Spokane, Tyler Benjamin, Atid Kimelman, Miriam Ginsberg, Marni Loffman, Ike Swetlitz, Sofie Werthan, Sam Waxman, Akiva Wolberg, Ori Clemons, Elana Orbuch, Mira Smith, Aliza Wasserman, Yael Kiken, Becca Vogel, & Leah Muskin-Pierret

Audio Editor: Miriam Ginsberg

Words:
I am a wave
I am a wave
Make me the sea
Make me the sea

I am a seed // Make me a tree
I am a mountain // Make me a stone
I am a breeze // Make me a storm
I am a ____ // Make me a ______

I am a Wave

IfNotNow is a movement led by young Jews to transform our American Jewish community’s support for the occupation into a call for freedom and dignity for all. Learn more about the songs we sing in our movement here: http://bit.ly/2mIZUks
>on singing songs from other movements of today and from the past:
We are lucky to have the songs of our own Jewish traditions -- they are for us to sing.  Some of us have ancestors who have been deeply involved in movements across the world for social change for generations, both as those directly affected and as allies.  We are also singing their songs. 
And.
We recognize that this can easily turn into cultural appropropriation, particularly when we do not have direct links. So, before we sing a song we have a practice of honoring where it comes from: we share the movement, the struggle, or the people who birthed this music. Singing these songs is one way of acknowledging that we’re in a long line of movements for justice. 
We continue to create new movement songs. We write new lyrics. We get inspired by old text- Jewish and non-Jewish.  We do not simply translate movement songs into Hebrew in order to connect with them. One possibility instead is to incorporate Jewish text with similar themes and vision. 
From the beginning, IfNotNow leaders have been building relationships with leaders from Cosecha, BlackLivesMatter, The Dream Defenders, and other movements through the Momentum Community where we have been creating and sharing our songs with each other. Diversity keeps our movements strong and interconnected. We understand this as an ecological system of access, ancestries, struggles and strategies for resistance. Song is part of the way we arrive in interdependent relationship. We are building a culture that is accountable, compassionate -- and vibrant as all hell. Please honor the history of each song -- learn it, share it. 
We will lift each other up.
