Name: Requiem For Sharon
Duration: P00H06M51S
Description: Triggered by a documentary on Sharon Jones last years; she died in November, 2016 a year after the film was finished. It was an inspirational and moving tribute to a real working musician who discovered her followers later in life. Any parallel with my own life is likely coincidental! The Dap Kings still play, but it’s not the same without her.

lyrics

REQUIEM FOR SHARON

Black . . . . . mostly white band
Dreads . . . . not after chemo
Energy . . . . . just can't land
Movement . . . . . until the end.

When the music ended and the curtain came down
Where did you go? What did you leave?

Groove . . . . . . yes it's deep
Soul . . . . . . . it's still alive
James Brown . . . . . . . . don't you weep
Horns blow . . . . . . . . good jump 'n jive

We're bound for one last stop, all caught in one destiny
The cards are dealt; now our hands to play.

My hand . . . . . . . not perfect
Your hand . . . . . . . cancer
Both hands . . . . . . . . we played late
But yours . . . . . . . takes the pot

When the music ended and the curtain came down
Where did you go? What did you leave?
Where did you go? What did you take?

February 2017
