EverySong from Obrigada by Alison Crockett

Her original “Every Song” is already a manifesto of sorts (“Every/ Song that I sing/ Seems to/ Have a message/ About/ What I have to do”). The line breaks form into rhythmic patterns that all but have MADE IN BRAZIL stamped on them, yet it takes concentrated listening to even notice them. Instead, Crockett’s velvet voice and masterful time make them into thrillers: She pulls the ear to precipice after precipice, threatening to fall over but always landing the jump.

Lyrics

Every Song that I sing seems to have a message about what I have to do
In my life I have to find out and be with myself to realize what is true
For me and I fall down and get up believing I must keep on not knowing that I'll be
Alright, even though I feel like I don't know where to go so I can be free

Every song I sing
Every note I play
Every word I write
Every mystery in by brain will be brought to light
In every song

Every song that I sing makes me think about the lessons my life receives
From the music I feel grounded in the fascination of who I am to be
As I grow into my true self I have to write about my journey
Of every step that I make into effervescent consciousness blooming

Every song I sing
Every note I play
Every word I write
Every mystery in by brain will be brought to light
In every song
