Haiku Milieu at Golden Dagger

Jenny and Jon Williams singing "Follow the River" at the March 31, 2023 Haiku Milieu concert.

Last Friday's Haiku Milieu concert at Golden Dagger in Chicago was one of those very special, alchemical nights between artist and audience. If you couldn't be there - don't worry! We'll have video to share in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, remember the song I've been collaborating on with Jon Williams? We performed it last night! Click for a  snippet of video   and read the final version below, based on this Haiku:
Come and take my hand
you have a place in this world
right here next to me


FOLLOW THE RIVER
Jenny Bienemann and Jon Williams

There’s a river singing in you
a melody that's soft and strong
there’s a river singing in you
to bring you back where you belong
so whenever you are lonely
you don’t know what to do
follow the river that’s in you
 
Follow the river

There is a hand reaching for you
to lift you up when you are down
there is a hand reaching for you
to bring you back where you belong
so whenever you’re defeated
feeling like a fool
Take the hand that’s there for you

Follow the river
Take the hand that’s there for you
 
And when you can’t
Just remember
I keep a place with me for you
