about

An enchanting solo version of “Over the Rainbow”, performed by singer/songwriter Jana Herzen and produced by jazz veteran Charnett Moffett. The recording includes the seldom sung introduction that begins with the lyrics "When all the world's in a hopeless jumble..," and is intended as an elixir for our times. Herzen comments "Given the state of the world, Charnett and I felt this would be a healing vibration to share at this time. Interestingly, the studio session had a kind of mystical dimension as layers of spiritual meanings in the song that I’d never noticed before kept emerging as I sang." Moffett comments: “The track exemplifies the sensitivity and artistry of Herzen's angelic voice.” The track is also the first single from a two-volume Moffett and Herzen duo project that is coming soon.

lyrics

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where
You'll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I? I
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to
Why, oh why can't I? I
