Roop's Melody

(See Lyrics at the bottom.) Just finished this new American Roots Performance track. Was one of the first songs I ever performed as a singer-songwriter many moons ago. I had just returned from two years studying music in India and, that, along with my love of Blues and Stevie Wonder tended to move me towards melismatic vocalizing. Motherless Child was just about my earliest experimenting with that. 

The horrific suffering in Ukraine and amongst refugees everywhere brought the tune to mind again. I was inspired to write a new bridge for this traditional song; I'm sure my vocal performance is far more intense now than it was all those years ago.

LYRICS
Motherless Child (Revisited)
(Traditional, with new added Bridge, words and music ©David S. Goldman/World Wave Music (ASCAP)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child (3X)   
A long way from home, so far from home. 
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone  (3X)
A long way from home, so far from home. 
Sometimes I feel like I’ve never been born  (3X)
A long way from home, so far from home. 

But I hear your voice, I know your sound 
Out on the road, I feel your ground
I call your name, can you feel my pain? 
I miss your touch, I hurt, hurt so much

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child (3X)
A long way from home, so far from home.

This song is a collection of thoughts and feelings I've been experiencing during these times of unprecedented anti-immigrant sentiment. I hope you'll vibe with it.
