I was amazed to find that “Meryem Ana”(from A Word Child) won first prize in the Christian/Inspirational category of the Great American Song Contest!
The song was inspired by a visit to a site believed to be the final home of Jesus’s mother Mary. Located in Turkey, near the magnificent ruins of Ephesus, it is a holy place and a pilgrimage site for both Christians and Muslims. This kind of accord between two faiths is wondrous to me. The “house” is a small, unprepossessing stone structure; there is a modest altar inside. A large olive tree trunk grows from the front. On the grounds is a stone prayer wall (similar to the Western Wall) festooned with thousands of handwritten prayers and wishes on tissues and scraps of paper. I am not a religious person, far from it, but the place had a decided spiritual aura, and I was moved to write a song about it.
You can find the lyrics on the music page or on Bandcamp, https://susankane.bandcamp.com
Although it was a songwriting contest, I do need to acknowledge the contributions of producer extraordinaire Billy Masters, percussion by Ben Wittman, bass guitar by Zev Katz, and harmony vox by Catherine Miles.
