I'm crazy about this a capella gospel song "Move Upstairs", sung by Della Daniels and Ester Mae Smith--
--and it's the kind of movable song I'm thinking about when I think about how music survives.
The lyrics are about that too--what helps you survive. (Preparing for release from this world...)
(I'm sure people have written wonderfully about this––how music travels through hardness––I'm not much of a music person, and it's kind of new to me...)
It's from the album Como Now: The Voices of Panola County, Mississippi (2008):

It's from the album Como Now: The Voices of Panola County, Mississippi (2008):
"Deep in the heart of Panola County, Mississippi lies Como, a small rural town where children and grown folks alike have been living and breathing gospel for as long as they can remember.
In the summer of 2006, Daptone Records placed a small ad in local papers and on the radio inviting singers to come down to Mt. Mariah Church to record their songs.
The result is COMO NOW, a stirring collection of traditional and original a cappella gospel from the voices of Panola County’s own families."
