When things begin to get you down or the world overwhelms, it usually helps to listen to music that inspires you. A song I've recently found very inspirational, among many - even though I don't understand the words - is a song from the sound track of the documentary Patterns of Evidence

Freedom: The Dawn Of Exodus

[amorphous]

WOW! Goose Bumps -> HD...

Even screwed my ability to type. lol

Thanks!

That’s an excellent piece.

Although not quite as awesome as Ennio Morricone’s original, here’s an arrangement done by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra to begin the S&M album with Metallica.

Klaatu - Hope

New to me. Thanks!

[Fresh Wind]

Creedence, one of the best!

[Fiji Hill]

That's a great arrangement of "You'll Never Walk Alone," a song that was performed at my father's memorial service. I also like Frank Sinatra's version, from the late summer of 1945.

Frank Sinatra's version

Oh man, what an extraordinary rendition!

NEIL DIAMOND ~ I AM ... I SAID

"LA's fine...palm trees grow and rents are low."

That song, from 1971, brings on a feeling of nostalgia. Not only were rents low, but LA had a Democratic mayor who was to the right of most Republicans (he would later join the GOP) and the Gipper governed the state.

I Saw the Light-Hank Williams

One of those songs I can sing to myself all day. ;-)

Here's another: I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow

[Fiji Hill]

I recall rumors in the press—probably started by the band and/or its promoters—that Klaatu was actually the Beatles.

That was beautiful, such a beautiful song to be understood by all languages.....awesome.

I sometimes think of all the Praise that our LORD receives from earth through songs at all times of the day and especially on Sundays.

Imagine HE's sitting on his THRONE and listening to EARTHS CHOIR flowing up to HIM. wow, HE hears all the church choirs and those in the pews on the radio or TV, all at one time on Sundays. AWESOME to ponder that sound.

(well except for the time changes of course, but to think on that HE will hear it 24/7.)

Our little church has a very small choir, none very good, but I told the Choir Director that I hear them with GOD's ears and the sound is always in PERFECT key.

And all this time, I thought I was the only one who liked the Soundtrack from Victory at Sea. lol
