The Making of GET READY

An American Tune
Words and music by Paul Simon, arr. by Kim Fragodt, 2013;
vocal and keyboard by Kim Fragodt
The very first time I heard this song, I was drawn to the haunting melody, which I learned as a small child while singing the hymn “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded” during worship services in my small country church in Southern Minnesota. To me, Paul Simon’s lyrics capture the mixed feelings our forefathers and mothers must have experienced upon their arrival to America. The hopes, struggles, homesickness and weariness they must have felt as their ship arrived in the harbor is so palpable and moving to me.
