Eitan and Adrian Niggunim Playlist

I am of this Earth, I am of this sky
And the seasons turn, and so do I
I am made to change, I am made to bend
I am made to break and to grow again

Of This Earth

Simple recording of an old melody, collected by Moyshe Beregovsky (Moisei Iakovlevich Beregovskii) in the early 1900s in Ukraine, later rediscovered in Kyiv, and subsequently adapted by Joey Weisenberg as the "Kane Street Nigun."

May the joyous energy of this nigun be a source of hope in a time of needless destruction and wanton violence now plaguing the region where it originated.

Beregovsky Nigun (Kane Street Nigun) - Joey Weisenberg

Artist: Sarina Partridge
I learned this song from Sarina at Let My People Sing 2023.

This recording is from a song circle on June 30, 2024 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Lyrics:
I will go down to the well
Let the water ring me like a bell
Let the water rock me like a child
For this well will not run dry
No this well will not run dry

Down to the Well (Sarina Partridge)

Written as a musical companion to (and in conversation with) the Dan Jones chapter "Mixed Multitude" in the collection WE CRY JUSTICE (Poor People's Campaign) in 2021 as part of the We Cry Justice Arts Project. The poem "Red Sea" by Aurora Levins Morales also served as inspiration for some of the lyrics. 

May this song continue to be a prayer for collective liberation for the sake of an end to all systemic, state, and militarized violences from prisons to Palestine. 

Words and melody are original.

A prayer for renewal
A song for healing
A blessing for life

We draw from the wellsprings of liberation
For one another
For the movement
For our world

Love is liberation is water is life

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.

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