Such amazing beauty! Today I'm remembering Bernice Johnson Reagon with deepest gratitude and love. This song helps me greatly. Thank you.

[@marcomarchantmoreno]

I feel so blessed to have known the music of Sweet Honey in the Rock. Each lyric seems like a poem that was born from the deepest feeling of humanity.

Too many of my friends are dead. Gone too soon. This song brings me comfort.

[@tamahlhazelwood7320]

Sorrow to celebratory. Mournful to majesty. An atomic (energy) transformation from one state of mind to another. Very powerful. Awa Sankofa!

[@joeylewis8612]

I had this album on cassette. There were several classics on it, like this,one and I think “would you shelter”It’s kind of rare now, I think.

[@klydon12345]

Oh Sisters, how you lift me up!

[@cynthiaazarcon6927]

where is all that talking and commotion coming from?? So hard to enjoy the richness of this. Still, it is really so heartfelt.

[@carmenrumbaut7602]

lyrics (please correct if I heard it wrong!) When I Die When I die you can bury me upon the mountain top (2x) When I die let my spirit breathe, let it soar like an eagle to the highest peak Lord have mercy when I die When I die, you can cast me out into the ocean wide (2x) When I die, let my spirit cry. Let it add to the tears that make the ocean deeper When I die you can bury me way down deep in the ground (2x) When I die let these bones take root like a seed that has been planted, let it come up bearing fruit When I die you can toss me to the winds of time (2x) When I die let my ashes roam, blow here and blow there I know that they are going to find their true home when I die Lord have mercy when I die Take me up on the mountaintop out in the ocean wide take me way down deep in the ground or out on the winds of time when I die

Her range is ridiculous!!!

[@bonirabit4302]

She hits the lowest notes..

[@acappellavoices]

Wonderful! I love this song and the commentary by Ysaye is also very instructive.

[@carolinecollett4349]

Great woman.

[@douglasglwilliams]

Horrible audience. When I have attended concerts by Sweet Honey, the audience was hushed.

[@henryohana6349]

@@douglasglwilliams Me, too! Disgusting!

[@jamielunes1841]

Yes ! World💣

[@funvideofan1625]

This is more catchy then the one from there’s album “In This Land” (1992)

[@Eianluke13]

You should notate who is in the group at this time and the lead singer and writer of this song. Give credit where credit is due.

[@MrRashiadah]

[@bonirabit4302]

Looks look she no longer with band,has she died?!

[@nashaflydivacharles]

No.. she teaching in other places. She teaches choir.

[@bonirabit4302]

Are they still touring? I mean no one is right now but I'm so lucky I got to see them with my mother.

[@ohthelovelypoems]

Am lucky to have seen them several times and it is electrifying to hear and witness.

[@funvideofan1625]
