about

I've always felt connected to the lyrics of this Charles Mingus tune. They describe a journey through music that I relate to. I've often felt pressured to choose between different musical outlets. This song reminds that I can choose to listen to and follow my own voice.

lyrics

I was young and carefree,
Not a sound had found my soul.
Lost in blues, jazz, and ragtime*,
No sound had got to my mood.
I was searching for my melody,
Love blues that gets me wooed.

All alone,
Sad clown with his* circus closed down.
Lost on my merry-go-round came a melody
In my heart so yearning -
Taught me to hear music out of love
From the soul
For this life we all live infinite.
With the lover and beloved
As one Ellington sound of love.
