Bliss Is Ordinary
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if people sang more often? Join hosts Yam & Jessi as they celebrate the living tradition of singing in the everyday world, and ask the question, “Can an ordinary voice sing a true song?”. Part intimate conversation, part singing-telegram, this show chronicles stories of how people use song to better understand the world around them, and navigate being human. Every episode includes an original song that is taught, as well as support for getting more in touch with your own authentic voice.

Come Sing With Me (in a Rite Aid)
Yam shares a story about catching a song in the bathroom of a Rite Aid. Jessi & Yam wax poetic about forbidden love, undercover artists, odd jobs, and the virtues of spontaneity in the everyday world. Yam teaches Jessi a song inspired by one of their listeners (a poet named M) called Come Sing With Me, and the two of them sing it with the help of their housemates.

The lyrics for today's song teaching :
Come Sing With Me
(Pt. 1)
Come, come, sing with me
We'll lift our souls
We'll lift our voices
Come, come sing with me
We'll lift our spirits up
Together now
(Pt. 2)
Fill the air with joyful noises
Until the whole wide world rejoices
Fill the air with joyful noises
Unto the whole wide world
(Pt. 3)
Sing, sing
Sing, sing
Tell me will you sing, sing
Will you sing with me?
