wayfaring stranger
I have recently been entranced by the song Poor Wayfaring Stranger. It is a wonderful song, simple yet complex.
I love the many variations. Funky, deafening, dancey, solo, in a band, full, lonely, long, short, haunting, professional, or amaturistic. They're all great. Rythims change, lyrics diverse from version to version. Anyone can make it their own.
It is such a powerful song, about home and lostness, about death and family, about god and destiny. Meaning that changes depending on circumstances, sometimes goin' home- no more to roam can be something to look foreward to, other times it is dooming. I will be home, but I won't be able to enjoy the roaming I do now.
It is easy to adept, while hiking I improvise my own versions:
I'm goin' home to end my work,
goin' home no more to roam-
I'm just a' goin' over yonder,
I'm just a goin' over home
And it is a joy to sing, quietly in between breaths, no one around to hear you and no pressure to sing well. Just enjoy roamin', enjoy singin', enjoy not being dead. You'll go home, some day, to see your mother and your father, all the loved ones you left behind. Until then, dark clouds will gather 'round you, but you'll get through. You always have.
Some of my favourites are from:
Jerry Reed
Traditional, Andreas Scholl, Edin Karamazov
Tim Buckley
Burl Ives

That time I used to carry my guitar everywhere. It helped me to overcome my fears, guided me in to spaces I didn’t know existed, opened chambers of my heart that I thought were closed... #TBT #musicsavedme #wayfaringstranger #eatsleepliveart https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDl5NWl9gj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t6hblolyj8v1
