I messaged Jamie ( and his 1940s RAF moustache) to request we sing Ise Oluwa tonight
Ise Oluwa is an African prayer for water, and it was one of the first songs I learnt in Choir.
Sung slightly quicker than the above example, I remember our choir wrestling somewhat with the harmony on a winter's night in the village hall.
Jamie, in a fit of insight, told us to sing one last time and as we did so, he turned off the lights so we sang in complete darkness.
Without the restraints of looking at each other, and in the stillness and the dark,
I remember the choir rose to the occasion
And with a great deal of tears in a great number of eyes
We performed the song quite beautifully
