I was at this gig and still remember the hairs on the back of my neck standing up when this was sung. I'm sure Steven Spitzer would be more than happy with this interpretation which introduced the song to a new audience. Some things are more important than money.

Gabriel Kyne

Really weird to hear a popified version of this song with piano. I hope they shared some of their money with Steven Spitzer

HALLOWELLI thought when someone diedthe spirit flew over furthest fieldNow I see death will leave behind(a scrap of light, a broken smile)the remnants by which I might be healed.REFRAIN The dead lift me up,In brightest sky, the clouds below me race;The Dead lift me up-I see them face to face.Held high by these strong handsbreathing the wind I am born again.The mountain flowers, the desert sandssurround me now, comfort me now,In death or dreaming I find my kin. REFRAINOur voices shake in songfor memories we have long endured.Though this begins to make us strong(the combing through of shreds of love)It is through living that we are cured.REFRAIN The dead lift me up,In brightest sky, the clouds below me race;The Dead lift me up-I see them face to face.

The song is called Hallowell

lnteaify

The song is called "Hallowell". It's a shape note song composed by Stephen Spitzer and it's #88 in the Northern Harmony book. He also wrote "St Gaudens", another stunningly beautiful shape note song. "I thought when someone died The spirit flew over furthest field. Now I see death will leave behind (a scrap of light, a broken smile) The remnants by which I might be healed."

Michelle Phillips
