Episode Description

Music brings us into the world, travels with us on our journey and then bids us farewell.

"Songs are like pictures encased in a melodic motif so when we can't talk, or we speak another language, we can still connect through music." - Jan Hellriegel 2019.

HOME NOT HOME (MOTHER AND DAUGHTER)

So I went home to your home

But no one was home.

It was no home

I called out your name.

No replies came.

It was no home.

I cleaned all the walls at your home

I emptied out the cupboards and

Put the stuff in my car.

And I took it with me but can't you see

It don't belong .

And in the quiet I recall

Only beauty that you could grow at home.

And the longing gaze as you wrangled me

Tempestuous and wild and not liking frilly things

And I am sorry I never told you in time.

How did I not notice?

How did I not see?

That a daughter of yours

Was always going to end up

Running wild, untameable, contrary

But running free.

So I went home to your home.

It's the last time I know I'll probably be there.

But I'll take you with me

And I still got that key

To your home.

And in the quiet I recall

How you went into bat for me.

When you went down to the school and said

"There will be no home economics for she"

Because in your eyes I could have been a butcher or a baker

A doctor or a lawyer or anything I wanted to be.

You said "You've got this girl and after all

You're more beautiful and intelligent than me"

How did I not notice?

How did I not see?

That a daughter of yours was always going to end up

Singing her owns tunes and thanks to you

Always be running free.
