Music that moves me
Across the Universe: Beatles: Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
are drifting through my open mind, Possessing and caressing me. Jai Guru Deva
Om - Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns, And
calls me on and on across the Universe. (Jai Gurus Deva Om- is a prayer invoking
their beloved spiritual teacher. This song speaks of non attachment and love.)
Shanti/Ashtangi: Madonna: Vunde gurunam caranaravinde -Sandarsita
svatma sukhavabodhe. I worship the gurus' lotus feet
Awakening the happiness of the self revealed. (Another example of sanskrit chant)
Stairway to Heaven: Led Zepplin: And as we wind on down the
road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines
white light and wants to show, How ev'rything still turns to gold. (Reference
to the Goddess.)
Mysterious Ways: U2: She moves in mysterious ways -Johnny
take a dive with your sister in the rain -Let her talk about the things you
can't explain -To touch is to heal -To hurt is to steal -If you want to kiss
the sky -Better learn how to kneel. (Song about the Goddess.)
Spirits in the Material World: Sting: There is no political
solution -To our troubled evolution -Have no faith in constitution -There is
no bloody revolution -We are spirits in the material world. (Mankinds solution
is spiritual.)
Strange Phenomena: Kate Bush: We raise our hats to the strange
phenomena -Soul birds of a feather flock together -We raise out hats to the
hand a-moulding us -Sure 'nuf-he has the answer - Om mani padme hum. (A song
about synchornicity.)
The Dream of the Dolphin: Enigma: In every colour there's the light. In every stone sleeps a crystal. Remember the Shaman, when he used to say: "Man is the dream of the dolphin".
Severance: Dead Can Dance: Indifference,the plague that moves
throughout this land -Omen signs -in the shapes of things to come.
Salisbury Hill: Peter Gabriel: Watched by empty silhouettes
-Who close their eyes but still can see. (This entire song is a story of spiritual
awareness.)
Imagine: John Lennon: You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not
the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one.
(A song about the Utopia of mankind.)
