Inspiring music

How come we still don't have a music thread on the web? :)

C'mon, everybody! Kidding, whoever feels like hhhh, flood this thread with what makes your soul alive, or just resonates with you, or brings an important message, or is just beautiful :D

Just put on your earphones.... and close your eyes... Merge with the eternal words from ingenious Sufi poet Rumi:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTgD2_VkeAk

 

O’ day, arise!
shine your light , the atoms are dancing

Thanks to Him the universe is dancing,
overcome with ecstasy , free from body and mind

I’ll whisper in your ear where their dance is leading them.

All the atoms in the air and in the desert are dancing ,
puzzled and bemused to the ray of light,
they seem insane.

All these atoms are not so different than we are,
happy or miserable,
perplexed and bewildered

We are all beings in the ray of LIGHT from The Beloved,

Nothing can be said.

I came across this and found it deeply moving in it's awesome simplicity. To me, the 'natural great peace' spoken of in it, reflects the 'Sacred Ground of Being' that I'll be pointing towards during the upcoming Arise Divine Being World Tour. It's that unshakeable, immovable eternal existence at the core of us...

Okay, so it's a degree melancholy, but personally I find it inspirational nevertheless.
Do get tired out there sometimes in the shift? Long for home?
Know that you are never alone in your challenges...

"Just be who you are, you're the radiant star"! ☆╮

I bookmarked this to listen to whenever I need a reminder (which seems to be everyday nowadays, haha) - it's like having a wise friend around to give you a pep talk when down, such amazing lyrics!

You know how sometimes you hear a song and just can't get it out of your head?!

Here's one by Ian Brown, the ex lead man of the Stone Roses. I just love the funky easy-goingness of the energy...

It's a great video indeed Thumbs Up Sign

It would seem like a change of gear for Nahko - speaking louder, more extreme.

I'd say it's entirely necessary - too many people sitting back, not really stepping up to the plate.

I wonder what will it take?

Hi AproHeidi and everyone who'd like to embed video in commentary. Here's how you do it...

1. Go to the youtube/Vimeo file and click "share", then "embed" then "copy" (to copy the embed code)
2. Come back to your comment on Openhandweb, then click the little chevron with the dash under it, in the grey bar at the top of the comment form. It's the last icon to the far right.
3. Now you have the code behind your comment posting. You can simply paste the video embed code there.
4. When you click the chevron again, you go back to how your comment now looks, but with the video embedded.

I trust it makes sense!

I feel this song is also about riding the flow, peeling off layers of identification...finding soul gold...Written with so much wisdom...Peter Murphy at his best...

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean

Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
We'll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you high

You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold

First off, Thank you Charlie, great video!  It is so great to see and hear so many differing genres and ideas on this site!  The sharing inspires me to branch out to new avenues of investigation spiritually and musically :)

I am posting this video for a couple of reasons.  First, the sharing that everyone has been doing to support one another is so beautiful and it reminded me of this song.  It is my way of saying "as brothers [and sisters] we will stand and hold your hand...you are not alone in this."

Second, because I sang this song to my son (when he was in my belly and I did not know who, or what gender, he would be in this world, but I wanted him to have a knowing of the love and support he would always receive from me).  I was the stage manager for a play last year and a gentlemen sang this as his audition piece and sang the last line so mournfully that it made me, for the first time, feel a sadness (negative thought) about the song.  Prior to his signing it I saw the last line "I cannot move the mountains for you" as a statement of "you have your journey and I cannot interfere"...I wanted my son to be supported, yet have his own beautiful life (which is how I raise him now).  After the auditions were over I asked him if he would mind my asking what the song meant to him (I always find it beautiful when a song is interpreted differently with each person and their experience, and even the same person with new experience).  He told me of his brother whom had died of a drug overdoes and he felt such a profound sadness that he was unable to "move the mountains" to save him.  It was then that I knew why the Universe connected us.  I told him, as gently as possible, you supported him and loved him (and you still do), but it was not your mountain to move.  We talked for a couple of hours after that and we are very good friends now.  I have had so many people give me support in the way that the Universe gave him support through me and I just wanted to share this beautiful song to remind us all that we move our own mountains, but with the loving support of those around us...I am holding all of your hands in love and light!

I've been taking some down time and feeling a strong connection to trees.
Came across this deeply moving song by Trevor Hall - take a moment, and join me there...
