Anne Janelle - Do You Hear What I Hear? (A Better World)

Anne Janelle 2025-12-21 | Original song by Noël Regney and Gloria Shayne
New lyrics and melody by Anne Janelle
Performed by Anne Janelle and James Hill
Trombone performed by Andrew Jackson

Echoes are ringing on the mountaintop
Everywhere voices and words
People are singing to the mountaintop
People are singing that they want a better world
They want a better world

Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?

Starlight is beaming on the mountaintops
Everywhere diamonds and pearls
People are seeing to the mountaintops
People are seeing that they want a better world
They want a better world

Do you see what I see? (shivering cold)
Do you see what I see? (shivering cold)

People are moving to a brand new beat
Everywhere swaying and twirls
People are moving to the songs of hope
People are feeling that they want a better world
They want a better world

Do you feel what I feel? (silver and gold)
Do you feel what I feel? (silver and gold)

We want a better world

Anne Janelle - The Moth and the Light - Remix

Anne Janelle 2025-04-25 | From Anne Janelle's "I Didn't Want to Break It" album
Words and music by Anne Janelle
Remixed by Giorgio Magnanensi

Somehow it's already quarter to nine
And the weather is fine if you like staying inside
How does the time slip away like it does,
Going faster and faster the more that you love?

If you asked me to tell you
You know that I'd try
Just as the moth doesn't choose the light
The light doesn't choose to shine
Oh no, the light doesn't choose to shine

Age is a number and love is a game
And that's fine if you're lucky and you're feeling no pain
But as for the rest of us, what would you say:
Is it better to burn bright or fade away?

There's a box of old memories I can't throw away
Hand-written letters and photos from birthdays
What makes us willing to risk everything?
What makes a good heart go wandering?

The Ice Cream Man (Live at the Round Barn)

Anne Janelle 2024-02-29 | A song about the incomprehensible joy of simple delights. From the album "How Best to See the Light."

Words and music by Anne Janelle
Performed by Anne Janelle and James Hill
Engineered by Graeme Campbell
Filmed by Dario Lozano-Thornton with help from Malcolm
Filmed in the Round Barn Farm in Old Barns, NS

You, the bringer of treats
I am down on my knees
I'm praying for a sunny day, but not as much as you

My life, depending on this:
Trading words for a kiss
Must I leave the warmth of sun, just to see the moon?

Chorus
A beaming sun
A monarch wing
A gentle hug
The scent of spring
I can not say why my heart sings

You, with caramel eyes
Me, with plenty of smiles
We're hoping for a brand new day, something just like this

You, the bringer of treats
I am down on my knees
I've fallen for the simple things, just as much as you did

Violet sky
A toothless grin
These and so many things
Laughing eyes
A golden ring
So, so many things
An apple pie
A moonlit
...
Hot July
Meandering
I can not say why my heart sings
Why my heart sings

Anne Janelle - Song for the Asking (Paul Simon cover)

Anne Janelle 2023-02-14 | Anne's rendition of Paul Simon's beloved "Song for the Asking" from Simon and Garfunkel's 1970 album "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

Vocals, piano and arrangement by Anne Janelle
Filmed by James Hill

Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life
Oh, I've been sad
Oh, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking
Ask me and I will play
All the love that I've known inside

Anne Janelle - Song for Mothers

Anne Janelle 2022-05-08 | To all the courageous, hilarious, selfless, exhausted, caring, generous mothers. This is my little musical gift to you. Special thank you to James and Alder Hill for helping me to create this video.

* * *

You've never been this kind of tired in your life
Your heart is still reeling from when it was burst open wide
You're a mother

Don't know where you've gone or if you're coming back
Abandoned the signs that say "don't worry, you're still on track."
You're a mother

Chorus
And it keeps getting harder the older they get
More questions, unanswered
And you want nothing more than to know they'll be fine
But you don't know that, do you?
You're a mother

No space of your own, no time to yourself
You're never on top of things, how can you give anymore?
You're a mother

Never have enough time, never doing enough
Always have to be ready and have to be so darned tough
You're a mother

Chorus

You're torn every time you're away from your babes
So much that you love but it seems like there's not enough space
You're a mother

Nobody told you, you'd never have guessed
One moment you're cursed and the next one you're so very blessed
You're a mother

But the joy you feel
When the smiles are real
Makes the sorrow seem amazing
They will learn to sing
They will spread their wings
But please don't let anybody hurt them
I'm their mother

Should you give them more stuff, should you toughen them up?
Whatever you do, you know that there's only one shot
You're a mother

And, just when you think you can manage the pain,
They're out on their own and all of this starts once again ...

To My Old Brown Earth (Pete Seeger cover)

Anne Janelle 2022-05-03 | Here is my version of a beautiful Pete Seeger song.

To my old brown earth, and to my old blue sky
I give you the last few molecules of "I."

And you who sing and you who stand nearby,
I do charge you not to cry.

Guard well our human chain,
Watch while you keep it strong,

As long as sun will shine.
And this our home, keep pure and sweet and green,
For I am yours
And you are also mine.

Lyrics:
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee,
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
That inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo

Come rejoice in heav'nly singing
Join our voices all around
See what Christmas joy is bringing
Peaceful hearts on earth abound
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo

I woke up from an endless night
Same dream I had before
We got into a fight
Hmmmmmmmm
I walked down to 5th and Main
Right past our coffee shop
‘Cause it wouldn’t be the same
Hmmmmmmmm

You said we’d still be friends
But that’s not what you meant
Ohhhhh!

Chorus
Sun, rain, cloud
It can feel the same
(It all feels the same)
Sun, moon, stars
It can feel the same
(It all feels the same)
And they say it’s not the end of the world

Paris, London, Istanbul
Remember all the places we said that we were gonna to go?
Hmmmmmmmm
Maybe I shouldn’t be writing to you
Telling you all the things that we’re never gonna do
Hmmmmmmmm

You said we’d still be friends
But that’s not what you meant
Ohhhhh!

Sun, rain, cloud
It can feel the same
(It all feels the same)
Sun, moon, stars
It can feel the same
(It all feels the same)
And they say it’s not the end of the world
