Which song (any kind of song) inspires you???

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Country Boy, Aaron Lewis — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQzw_Ax8Cw

[af_vet_1981]

There are many; let's begin with

a heavenly jam

where the jam begins to form at 13:48, sprouts wings at 14:24, and ascends, to heaven as it were, at 15:35.

AFAIK this was only done once, spontaneously, like a prayer for mercy originating from a dark star.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Rumble by Link Wray

HOW GREAT THOU ART(sing myself to sleep with that one)

AMAZING GRACE........humbling

BECAISE HE LIVES......for encouragement to be able to withstand what we are going through right now with Zero and the mess he has made as well as facing ISSA.

Last but not least: "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL", no matter what happens, it is well with my soul.

Each of these is a prayer.....I sometimes sing the Lord's Prayer to try to get to sleep, never make it all the way through. Then I have to apologize to GOD for not finishing and go again, FAIL. Until the Lord just says will you just Go to Sleep. me OK.

And for good wholesome family inspiration and we survivors ...

Wachet Auf Cantata 140 by JS Bach. The first duet is my favourite bit, preferably conducted by the master, John Eliot Gardiner, as here:

Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight

[MayflowerMadam]

Most inspirational when belting it out where everyone knows, and sings, parts: “Wonderful Grace of Jesus”. Gives me chills.

Most inspirational to sing if in a good chorus, or just to listen to: “Battle Hymn of the Republic” Mormon Tabernacle Choir arrangement.

Most inspirational re theology: “My Faith Has Found A Resting Place” and “A Mighty Fortress”.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.

[Fiji Hill]

With the Western world threatened by Bolshevism, pestilence, and political and economic turmoil, the times were far from good as Christmas approached in 1918. Nonetheless, it was at that time that Amanda Kennedy wrote Star of the East, an inspiring tune especially for those going through hard times.

Two Gems from 1976, I wonder if ears on FR have ever heard either of these.
1. Ofra Haza - Shecharchoret
2. Paco de Lucia - Entre dos aguas

[af_vet_1981]

Two more:

1. We'll meet beyond the shore
   We'll kiss just as before
   Happy we'll be beyond the sea
   And never again I'll go sailing

2. Once upon a hill
   We sat beneath a willow tree
   We were counting all the stars
   And waiting for the dawn
   
   But that was once upon a time
   Now the tree is gone
   
   How the breeze
   Use to ruffled through her hair
   How we would always laughed?
   As though tomorrow wasn't there
   
   We were young and never were care
   Where did it go?
