about

Nowadays it's hard to pinpoint exactly what genre one's music is. There are so many new categories, feels and sounds and everyone's blending a little bit of this and a bit of that, experimenting and trying to find something creatively new and exciting. So I sat down one day and asked myself, Gedalya, where do you fit in? I thought about it for a while and then a voice from within me said, you're a folk singer!

lyrics

I'm moving along singing my song sharing my soul around the globe
When I get to play it’s all worthwhile
Men and women boys and girls my only mission in this world
Is to have the chance to make you smile

I’m a folk singer doing my part I’m a folk singer with all my heart
Writing about the way I see it
I’m a folk singer yes it’s true I’m a folk singer that’s what I do
It’s simple because I was born to be it

Speak my mind and have thick skin not every song’s gonna be a win
And I might look bad when I’m out to do good
Gotta be real I can’t be fake even if I make mistakes
It’s harder to get to heaven then to Hollywood

I’m a folk singer doing my part I’m a folk singer with all my heart
Writing about the way I see it
I’m a folk singer yes it’s true I’m a folk singer that’s what I do
It’s simple because I was born to be it

No one tells me what to say no one taught me how to play
I’m just going with my inner rhythm
On the street or on the stage I’m gonna sing till my old age
Even if I die an unknown legend

As I age I’ve heard them say I don’t fit into the groove today
But I’ll keep flowing in my own direction
Just because the times have changed the song still remains the same
It just takes some different words to teach the lesson

And I’m a folk singer doing my part I’m a folk singer with all my heart
Writing about the way I see it
I’m a folk singer yes it’s true I’m a folk singer that’s what I do
It’s simple because I was born to be it
