TAKE ME TO CHURCH by Sinead O’Connor    (Kate Magdalena version)      
     

I don’t wanna love the way I loved before

I don’t wanna love that way no more

What have I been writing love songs for?

I don’t want to write them anymore  --
 
I don’t wanna sing from where I sang before

I don’t wanna sing that way no more

What have I been singing love songs for?

I don’t wanna sing them anymore.

I don’t wanna be that girl no more

I don’t wanna cry no more, I don’t wanna die no more


So cut me down from this here tree

Cut the rope from off of me

Set me on the floor

He’s the only one I will adore ---


Yeah take me to church

I done so many bad things it hurts

O Take me to church, but not the ones that hurt

‘Cause that ain’t the truth, and that’s not what it’s for.  

Yeah, get me to church, O get me to church

I done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah, get me to church 

But not the one’s that hurt, ‘cause that ain’t the truth 

And that’s not what it’s for.


I’m gonna sing songs of loving and forgiving

Songs of eating and drinking

Songs of loving, songs of calling in the night

‘cause songs are like a bolt of light

And love’s the only love you should invite

Songs of long and spiteful fails

Songs that won’t let you sit still

Songs that mend your broken bones

And won’t leave you alone


So cut me down from this here tree

Cut the rope from off of me

Set me on the floor

He’s the only one I will adore!


Yeah take me to church, 

I done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah get me to church, but not the ones that hurt

‘Cause that ain’t the truth, and that’s not what it’s for.  


Yeah take me to church, oh take me to church

I’ve done so many bad things it hurts

Yeah take me to church but not the ones that hurt

‘Cause that ain’t the truth and it’s not what it’s for.

Yeah take me to church………

Kate Magdalena was raised in era in which people looked to the arts and music to inspire social change. Like Dylan’s great songs, Magdalena’s songs address some of the pressing issues of our own day. She also sings of unity, hope, loss, and of the power of prayer in dealing with life’s many challenges.  And she hopes that her own pursuit of her dream  might inspire others to follow their own cherished dreams regardless of barriers.

     Now Kate Magdalena is embarking on an exciting new journey with Grammy nominated producer Billy Smiley (Johnny Cash, WhiteHeart, Clay Aiken) whom she met at a conference in Nashville, TN.  They are working on a brand new collection of both original and cover songs which will be released in the fall of 2019, titled “New Earth.”  Her first single release, coming in March, will be Sinead O’Connor’s moving song “Take Me to Church.”  She also includes songs by Leonard Cohen, and Crosby, Stills & Nash on her full album. Her own songs were born from her love for the earth, and the wellbeing of its inhabitants.  She dedicates her music to the healing of both, and looks to heaven for inspiration in her songwriting, and in performance.  

     Kate feels so blessed to be recording in Nashville with players who have toured and played for artists like Sheryl Crow, Robert Plant, Kacey Musgraves, The Technicolors, The Wallflowers, and Hunter Hayes.  She looks forward to bringing the sounds of her music to audiences far and wide, of every stripe and color.
