JS (Joerg Sommermeyer)

Eclecticist in the positive sense, in broadest terms between Classical Music, Blues, Country, Folk, Rock, transforming himself into the entire variation of styl

JS (Joerg Sommermeyer) started at the tender age of ten with a dust-ridden 'beater' Harmony six-string acoustic dreadnought passed down from his father. While growing up in South Germany he first cut his teeth every evening around sundown while playing for his family. Later, he played in a band, hit the local scene and studied classical guitar with Victor von Hasselmann and Anton Stingl. Eclecticist in the positive sense, in broadest terms between Classical Music, Blues, Country, Folk, Rock, transforming himself into the entire variation of styles, with elements of Jazz, without fear of venturing into Pop, for the past five years, JS (Joerg Sommermeyer) has been performing with his group The Black Djemba. The band has enjoyed playing to their ever-increasing following in the Southern Germany Area and has gotten favourable reviews. Their material seems to be ever changing and hard to pin down categorically. What always remains the same is the unique and wide-ranging musical personality of JS (Joerg Sommermeyer). Besides Joerg Sommermeyer is the author of the antinovel , "Pat[(h) o/a] physischer Antiroman, Tragigroteskenfragment”, published in December 2008.

Story behind the song

Colin Lynch about Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless child: "JS is a truly gifted artist/composer whose work tends to stay with you long after the stop button has been pressed. His outstanding bluesy vocal is carried along an intelligent and informed musical arrangement that oozes intense musical skill and experience. It’s an absolute pleasure to review, and an even greater pleasure to own!"

Lyrics

|: Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child :|
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
|: A Long Way From Home :|
True Believer
|: A Long Way From Home :|    

|: Sometimes I wish I could fly,
Like a bird up in the sky :|
Sometimes I wish I could fly,
Like a bird in the sky
Little closer to home 

|: Motherless children
Have a real hard time :|
Motherless children
Have a such a real hard time
So long so long so long 

|: Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child :|
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
So far away 

|: Sometimes I feel
Like freedom is near :|
Sometimes I feel
Like freedom is near
But we're so far away 

|: Sometimes I feel
Like it's close at hand :|
Sometimes I feel
Like the freedom is near
But we're so far from home 

|: Sometimes, sometimes, |
Sometimes
|: So far, so far, so far, :|
So far Mama from you, so far
