i heard an (acappela) folk song on folkalley.com (more than likely) and the artist mentioned was a juliet weyers or worrs (sp?). the lyrics were very simple and started with one person singing,(first verse) "little baby, holy baby ...help me understand... (chorus) understand, understand, understand. the second verse (two singers) was "stark city, holy city, help me understand. then foul junkie, holy junkie, help me understand...there were 5,6,7 verses with each adding an additional singer or singers with (possibly some accompaniment in the latter verses)...i have been trying to find the song since i heard it and nobody, to this point, knows of it.

how's this for synchronicity??

I did my usual google.com search terms trick which is to pick out some of the words of the song and search for them on the 'Net.   So I searched for:

little baby holy "help me understand"

in the search box.

And look what came up near the bottom of the second page: a CD by Juliet Wyers on the online CD shopping site called CDBaby.

Anyway if you look at the list of track samples on the left there is a song called Help Me Understand".

bobbertsmith,

I just listened to the track and I know why you needed to find it. Cold shivers while I listened to it. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
