17 Jan 00 - 10:00 PM (#164458) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: MUSIC IN MY MOTHERS HOUSE From: bflat Dave, I believe you will find what you are looking for in the liner for the CD: This Train Still Runs; Artists: Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert. It came out in 1996. The title of the song I'm thinking of is: There Was Music In My Mother's House. |

CHORUS Those days come back so clearly, although I'm far away She gave me the kind of gift I love to give away And when my mother died, and she'd sung her last song We sat in the living room, singing all night long Singing la-la la, la-la Singing the front porch songs Singing the old torch songs La-la, la-la Singing the hymns to send her home. CHORUS |

Here's a story: Every season, as I'm preparing music for a new Animaterra concert, I invite members to request songs. One of my faithful "suggesters" had this on her list, so I posted it on the Animaterra Facebook page and got lots of positives. Two days later, a member who is non-technology luddite also suggested this song, out of the blue. So now I'm arranging it for women's chorus! |
