about

My inspiration for this song came from the photo exhibition 'Old meets Young' at One World Cultural Center, displaying portraits of elderly people in retirement homes. Moved by the stories told from their faces, this song is a tribute to the vastness of a life lived. A reminder of unconditional worth. The realisation that in our longing for connection, we are unified.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Far away places, long lost names
Oceans of beauty and deserts of pain
You are blind to the image of who I have been
A lifelong cast for joy and tragedy
You only see that my eyes are now grey

Chorus:
All that I ask for is your hand on mine
Oh little it takes for our souls to align
All that I ask for is your hand on mine
And in the truth of this moment we'd be
Tethered in Time

My feet have carried, my hands they have cared
My heart has kept beating until it repaired
My body was strong from tail to crown and now
I see you frown as you bend down
To lift heavy bones as my limbs are now frail

Chorus

Memories trembling while they defend
The holes in the storyline until the end
Flowers on a window sill, pills on a tray
The sound of a voice, I don't know what to say
I don't know my name, or the name of today

Chorus

Myriam Elschami Germany

Music to me is a form of identity, finding ever new ways to surface. From early childhood on, I passionately played the piano and sang. Many years later, my long craved first song was suddenly there. Stunned by the self-organization that magically unfolds when story meets harmony and rhythm, and a bunch of songs later, here I am, daring to share:
