Melody Gardot Love Me Like A River Does

Melody Gardot, an American jazz singer, writer and musician, was born 1985 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to Wikipedia her early career began as an exploration in music therapy. She was hit by a vehicle while riding her bike-age 19 at the time. Following the accident, Gardot was instructed to take up music therapy as a way to rebuild her cognitive impairment.

Until two years ago Gardot could speak only with great difficulty. “It was as if 20 minutes would pass for me to speak one sentence and I would sit there trying to break down the levee that was built between my brain and my mouth,” is how she describes it.

I’ve known this singer just recently and must confess have been taken with her charming voice with its elegantly melancholy that can entices you to surrender yourself. Now her music is one of my favorites to listen and to read, yeas, her texts are also so wonderful.

Love me like a river does
Cross the sea
Love me like a river does
Endlessly
Love me like a river does
Baby don’t rush you’re no waterfall
Love me that is all
Love me like a roaring sea
Swirls about
Love me like a roaring sea
Wash me out
Love me like a roaring sea
Baby don’t rush you’re no waterfall
Love me that is all
Love me like the earth itself
Spins around
Love me like the earth itself
Sky above below the ground
Love me like the earth itself
Baby don’t rush you’re no waterfall
Love me that is all
