Who Will Comfort Me
Melody Gardot Lyrics
My soul is wearying
My soul is wearying

Beating down from all of my misery yeh
Oh Lord who will comfort me?
Gotta hold of my heart
Oh Lord who will comfort me?
My home is a wreckage a family ground
Impli-ed in poverty yeah
Oh Lord who will comfort me

Born on the 2nd February 1985 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Gardot took up piano and played as a youngster on the nightclub scene of Philadelphia, influenced by jazz, folk, rock, and pop musics. At the age of nineteen she was a fashion student at the Community College of Philadelphia. While cycling in Philadelphia in November 2003 she was hit by a car whose driver had ignored a red traffic light. In the accident she suffered serious head and spinal injuries, and her pelvis was broken in two places. Because of these severe injuries she was confined to her hospital bed for a year. Her musical beginning was prompted by a tending physician who was concerned with her cognitive impairment as a result of head injury sustained in the accident. He believed that music would help her brain injury improve, as it has been known to show remarkable results in improving people's cognitive ability after such trauma.
Following her doctor's suggestion, Gardot made recordings bedside, while still unable to walk, and eventually released the works as an EP: Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions (2005). Gardot's desire to be well, combined with a bit of luck, brought her to the attention of a local radio DJ at the AAA station WXPN (known for launching the careers of artists such as Amos Lee and Norah Jones). Her cognitive powers slowly but surely became pronounced, leading to the independent recording and release of her debut CD, Worrisome Heart, which was reissued in 2007 by Verve records.
Gardot is hypersensitive to light and noise, so wears dark glasses; she also uses a cane to walk. Onstage she requires a special seating unit, and wears a Transcutaneous Electro-Nerve Stimulator, a TENS device, to assist in alleviating her neuralgic muscle pain. Though touring is difficult, she has been performing in major cities on the East Coast of the U.S. to support her recordings. In 2009, working with producer Larry Klein and arranger Vince Mendoza - both known for their work with Joni Mitchell - Gardot followed up her Verve debut with My One and Only Thrill.
In 2012, she released the album The Absence.

"I have not the SLIGHTEST idea why some folks, instead of just listening to really nice music, feel compelled to be annoying and abrasive -- I will NEVER understand, not in a million years. :("
I completely agree, MrBobaloo. Melody is unique and talented. Mike M, not so much.
As I'm sure you already know, people like Mike M are angry, sad, unhappy, and aggressively trying to enrage in order to bring others down to their dissatisfied, horribly pathetic level of hate-drenched existence.
Darkness want's company. So, Darkness provokes. Bingo. Now two people are wallowing in Darkness. Classic Troll Behavior.
Ignore if possible Mike's intentional and loathe-worthy provocations.
It's not easy because people like Mike M (and there are thousands of them) take fiendish delight in playing the jerk.

Hi Mike! I love you, but you're acting like a prick. Though you could do much better, I can't help you until you choose to change.
OK, now you can counter with your usual venal nonsense! (which I won't click on).
Good luck!

My soul is a weary
My soul is a weary
My soul is a weary
I said my soul is a weary
My soul is a weary and beaten down from all of my misery
Oh Lord who will comfort me
My soul is a weary and beaten down from all of my misery
Oh Lord who will comfort me
(scat)
Got a hold on my heart that keeps me bound
When the whole wide world is free (yeah)
Oh Lord who will comfort me
Got a hold on my heart that keeps me bound
When the whole wide world is free (yeah)
Oh Lord who will comfort me
(scat)
My home is a wreckage
A family drowned in plight and poverty
Oh Lord who will comfort me
My home is a wreckage
A family drowned in plight and poverty
Oh Lord who will comfort me
Oh Lord who will comfort me

A shame, that there's music like this and it's hardly known. Melody's music is absolutely perfect. Her voice is to die for.

She's classy for two reasons. Because she's talented and doesn't need to show anything, and because she's been through a lot and has realized what life is all about.

Her laugh at 4:38 is enchanting. And of course the rest of the song. Delightful elegance. Oh, my.

Melody Gardot is a talented and interesting singer -- for the life of me, I have not the SLIGHTEST idea why some folks, instead of just listening to really nice music, feel compelled to be annoying and abrasive -- I will NEVER understand, not in a million years. :(

Poor Mike M, obviously a miserable person who's glee comes from attempting to make others miserable.
Awaken Mike! You could be so much more than your venom and hatred.

Well, that escalated quickly. The one thing I find funny is that so many speak of things they have done in their life, like serving in the military, but no one took the time to think of what those things mean to the internet. The internet is global, and I doubt that anyone has served on all sides. The internet was formed by many people, all from different backgrounds and cultures, and frankly, the internet does not care whether you serve in the military or at a McDonalds. It is the ultimate truth, the fact that no matter what someone does, they do not mean anything in the grand scheme of things. I personally don't care for religion, but I would think that the internet is the ultimate middle finger at the concept of God.

Haven't the slightest idea -- I have posted positive comments online before about Melody Gardot -- oh well

Abby, how did this ever get started?

This song is so mind craving. It puts me on the cross line of insanity and reality. It's up beat but softly up beat. So good....
