about

By Siri Undlin (Humbird)
Soloists: Colleen Goidel, Ariela Freedman, Gayanne Geurin, Bill Witherspoon, Rich Goidel

In early April 2020, as the CBH Chorus was just beginning to grapple with sheltering in place and rehearsing over Zoom, Will came across this new coronavirus-era folksong by Humbird. He realized it would be a perfect project for the chorus to learn in its newly remote configuration and set to making this a cappella version. The more we learned about how long it would be before we could safely sing together again, the more time we had to set up our basic home studios. Over the summer we recorded our parts individually. Will gathered the audio and produced the song, and Howard Winer created a video of us singing it that would be shared during CBH’s High Holiday services and ultimately reach thousands over YouTube.

lyrics

On the day we are together again
I will pull you in close like a hoop with no end
On the day we are together again

We will share the same table again
I will pass you the salt, the candlelight will bend
When we eat at the same table again

We will walk ’round the block hand in hand
We’ll stop for a snack at the taco truck stand
We will walk ’round the block hand in hand

Someday we will go back to work
May we be among people who respect our worth
Someday we will go back to work

I will help the strangers I meet
It is possible to get back on our feet
I will help the strangers I meet

I will write you a letter for now
Oh, hope is a message that survives somehow
I will write you a letter for now

To the healers who keep us alive
Oh, a toast to your courage, to your knowledge and light
To the healers who keep us alive

And the ones we love who are gone
We remember their stories, we sing the songs
For the ones we love who are gone

On the day we are together again
I will pull you in close like a hoop with no end
On the day we are together again
