  • Ella Fitzgerald said, ”The only thing better than singing is more singing!” Use song to find wellness in ourselves, each other, and our world. In each episode, Patricia introduces a song that she trusts to help her navigate life. These songs provide a great soundtrack to your day — whether it’s comfort, presence, delight, grief-tending, or simply easing the way. Periodic interviews with song creators add color and understanding. Songs have helped Patricia heal, adapt, and grow, and she hopes these selections will become companions for you as well.

    162. Ribbon 3: Joyful Power
    Sep 25 2024

    The Sunday after this episode is released, September 29th, 2024, at 4 p.m. Eastern time, there will be an online gathering of folk who use song to help navigate life -- and we'll sing through this Ribbon of Songs with live-looping! To learn more, click here, or sign up right now to join us!

    Lyrics ​& Links to the original episodes for the songs in this ribbon.

    Note: Angela Gabriel has made a melody change (which she can, right? Her song!) to We Were Made for These Times -- I made a new recording for this ribbon of songs, reflecting this update. If you click here, it will go to a teaching youtube video she created (which wonderfully includes the full lyrics...) https://youtu.be/kZfD7YbZJew?feature=shared

    2. Put Your Roots Down

    by Molly Hartwell

    Put your roots down,

    put your feet on the ground,

    can you hear what she says

    when you listen?

    (2x)

    ‘Cause the

    sound of the river,

    as it moves across the stone

    is the

    same sound as the

    blood in your body

    as it moves across your bones.

    Are you listening?

    The title link goes to Molly Hartwell singing her original… but as she has given her blessing to the “telephone” versions that have travelled around, I am still singing (more or less) the version I learned from Lisa Littlebird in 2019…

    99. Turning Wheel

    by Lisa Littlebird

    There’s a wheel that is turning,

    calling me into my power.

    There’s a wheel that is turning,

    calling me into my voice.

    It’s turning, we’re learning

    to stand inside our hearts.

    It’s turning, we’re learning

    to stand in love.

    I will not be silent.

    121. Make Good Trouble

    by Elizabeth Melvin

    words inspired by John Lewis

    Stand up and make good trouble

    Speak up and make good trouble

    Get up and make good trouble

    Rise up and make good trouble

    Never, ever be afraid

    to make some noise, make some noise

    This is the struggle,

    the struggle of a lifetime

    (Make good trouble)

    86. We Were Made For These Times

    text by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

    music by Angela Gabriel

    Don’t lose heart,

    We were made for these times.

    (3x)

    Show your soul,

    it shines like gold in these dark times.

    Don’t lose hope….

    Don’t give up….

    The link goes to Angela’s own recording… Here it is as a podcast episode.

    46. We Are The Way

    by Christine Kick

    1. Celebrate the difference,

    celebrate the distance,

    celebrate the love,

    celebrate this brand new

    way. We are the way.

    We are the way…

    we are the way!!!

    1. All night and

    every day

    we bring the love,

    we bring the love.

    Christine is expecting a baby!

    161. Good Friend
    Sep 18 2024

    Song: Good Friend Music by: Jan Harmon

    Notes: Both harbor and freedom, connection and release, seasons and timelessness. Jan Harmon's song, written in 1985, has generous space for harmonies, and impels us singers forward, as though we were the sail catching the wind. I love the feeling of holding and letting go as I sing this song -- it helps me grieve, helps rejoice, helps me open, helps me curl up... I wonder what you will experience as you sing it with me?

    Songwriter Info: Jan Harmon (1940-1993) was a published poet, a writer of short stories and biographical non-fiction, as well as a prolific composer of choral music, topical songs, ballads, rounds, musicals, and instrumental pieces. She was born in Saginaw, Michigan and lived in many places from southern California to Maine.

    Sharing Info: When sharing in a money-making venture, like a workshop, class, or performance, please contact Scott at Harmon Publishing for permission and rates: https://harmonpublishing.com/contact.php

    Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:02:47 Start time of reprise: 00:16:25

    Nuts & Bolts: 2:2, minor, round

  • 160. (O Spirit) Guide Me to Those I Need with guest Aimée Ringle

    160. (O Spirit) Guide Me to Those I Need with guest Aimée Ringle
    Sep 11 2024
    Song: (O Spirit) Guide Me to Those I Need Music by: Aimée Ringle Notes: If you've run across Aimée Ringle's work, you know her wicked musical skills, her exuberant, high-energy presence, her huge heart and desire to be of service... and you may not yet know how she grew into her voice, the questions she asks herself around how best to contribute to songcircles, her deep desire for village community, and questions about how to make that real in the here and now. We dig a little into one of the hard conversations in songcircles or any group situation where people bring varying skill levels -- how can people of varying skill levels feel welcome and find space and satisfaction as they are? We talk about what Aimée finds she needs to be able to let songs come through and more! Aimée shares the story of how O Spirit came through and we sing it both with guitar and in an up-close and personal way. It's a big episode because we let our conversation spread out, enjoying the end of summer and a sense of expansiveness. I hope you, too, find that pleasure of connection when you join us. Songwriter Info: Aimée Ringle is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, song-leader, and storyteller. She has an invigorating teaching style that is enriched by her capable percussion and guitar skills. Aimée’s work as a song-leader and storyteller have woven her into an ever widening community of cultural shifters around the country in the realms of sustainable agriculture, alternative education, community living, healing, creativity, and spiritual exploration ~ all of which are reflected in the songs she carries. As a song-leader, Aimée’s work and example have become a valued part of several Ancestral skills gatherings including Winter Count, Spirit Weavers and Sharpening Stone. Sharing Info: The song is free to share in oral tradition groups, but please contact Aimée for recording and/or performing permission. She says: "For now, the song is just the chorus, but I am paying attention to its evolution and leaving space for the possibility of verses, etc. But this will not be a group process and I'm not inviting unsolicited creative ideas in this process."
