Marketa Irglova - My Roots Go Deep (Official Video)

"This song is a summary of the growth and maturation that has taken place within me in the past few years. Realizing that holding peace and grace is a wiser goal than chasing happiness. For while we can’t avoid the pendulum of our lives constantly swinging from one side to the other, between joy and sorrow, light and dark, we can practice holding peace in any circumstance. Growing roots and becoming our own centre, attracting all that is in our highest good to come to us. Understanding, in our wisdom, that all that happens does so to teach us, to help us grow, and to deepen our sense of compassion and solidarity towards one another."
- Markéta Irglová -

Lyrics
MY ROOTS GO DEEP
I keep it on,
my ring, the feather of a swan,
You gave to me some years ago,
In the land of fire and snow.
In those days we burned brighter than the sun,
when we came together as one.
Can’t take it off,
This weathered token of our love,
You made for me when we were new,
From threads of dreams in shades of blue.
In those days we made circles ‘round the moon,
And those times were over too soon.
But Lord, I do not weep upon waking from a sleep,
Dreaming of heaven,
For I remember all too well how close heaven is to hell,
And all of them crash landings I’ve endured.
I am letting down my roots,
I am getting good at being still,
I have stopped chasing after things,
I am like the church upon a hill,
I allow all things to come to me,
I am a tall and mighty tree,
I can weather any storm, ‘cause
My roots go deep, my roots go deep,
My roots go deep, my roots go deep.
My roots go deep. my roots go deep.
Don’t you ever wish there was a word,
In a language everybody understands,
You could say when words were not enough,
To explain to others what your heart commands.
By uttering the word our hearts would open,
Communicating freely without fear,
The fear we’ve held about speaking our truth,
When it might be difficult to hear.
We would find it easier just to listen,
Synchronised in every single beat,
In a place of purest love and deepest wisdom,
Maybe we would finally get to meet.
LILA.

Absolutely a majestic composition, the voice of Marketa Irglova and her powerful talent to mix the harmonies between her voice, her piano , second voices , and cords is one absolutely piece of art.

Jako vždy se "vypínám" při nadpozemské hudbě od Markéty. Děkuji 🥰🥰🥰

[@yichunlai8817]

Before I got married in 2016, I loved listening to your songs over and over. Now that I'm a mom, I have my own time today. The lyrics and melody "are you really here.." started popping into my head and I stumbled across this page.I can't describe how touching from this song. the music is more noble and pleasing to the eyes. I shed tears of emotion unconsciously.

[@insunatic5062]

You are a blessing from God, Marketa.

Musically beautiful and very original piece. You, Marketa, are simply stratospheric, and never cease to amaze me. Congratulations, and an affectionate hug to your husband, Mio. Determinant, together with you, for the perfect success of the song. A special applause for Manuel Barreto's percussion section. Those drum cymbals are delicious ...

Absolutely Beautiful. I am a big fan since I saw you in the movie "Once". I rally like your music. I loved your Oscar speech. I am so glad that you got a chance to enjoy your moment when Jon Stewart gave you the podium. I am so proud of you as a girl born in former Czechoslovakia (the Slovak part). I live in USA now, but I am so proud to see my talented Czechs and Slovaks making it big and showing the world how many talented people come from our beautiful countries. Wishing you all the BEST. Mnoho Stesti :o)

[@mich_writes_fiction]

That was haunting and beautiful and painful all at the same time. It is a joy to see you still doing your thing! Been a fan of yours since ONCE. All the best to you and your creative journey, Marketa!

[@kar3303]

Oh.. I can breath again! ty Marketa xx

[@richard9480]

I've just seen Once! Some 13 years after the film was released and I have to confess I fell in love. She has most certainly grown since then and it's warming to know that she has found happiness in her marriage and children. She's as gorgeous as ever. That Steinway is an improvement on the piano that the "boy" gifted her at the end of Once. What a beautiful touch that was. Made the film for me!

[@anasegura8147]

la escucho todos los dias....🥰🥰🥰🥰....

[@natka4394]

Good to hear you back!!! :)
