Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars

Posted on by

I’ve been “obsessing” over this song for a while now from Snow Patrol. This video is the British version that didn’t play in the U.S., but frankly I think it is far better. Gary Lightbody’s lyrics are very good, in my humble opinion. Anyway, this song fits my mood, as does the British video.

I shall not walk…

There is a hope in the heart of every man, a desire that will not die even when buried under much that seems hopeless. Hopeless. From whense does it come?
Here is a bit of music I discovered on Luiz’s Wall in Facebook, posted by Robert Laws.

Posted on by

On a relatively nice Wed-nes-day, music…
1.’Till Tuesday, What About Love, from ‘Welcome Home’
2. Original Wicked Cast, Something Bad, from ‘Wicked Soundtrack’
3. Rufus Wainwright, Oh What A World, from ‘Want One’
4. Halloween Alaska, Telling Me, from ‘Halloween Alaska
5. Smashing Pumpkins, Zero, from ‘Rotten Apples’
6. Kat Williams, Here’s That Rainy Day, from ‘Here’s That Rainy Day’
7. Anna Nalick, Breath (2AM), from single
8. U2, Rejoince, from ‘October’
9. Sigur Ros, Hoppipolia, from ‘Takk…’
10. Silversun Pickups, Common Reacter, from ‘Carnavas’
11. Snow Patrol, Same, from ‘Final Straw’
The rules, for bloggers who want to play:

Get your ipod or media-player of choice, select your whole music collection, set the thing to shuffle (i.e., randomized playback), then post the first ten songs that come out. No cheating, no matter how stupid it makes you feel!

Idea originally from Fr. Jim Tucker of Dappled Things

Praise the Lord O My Soul (Greek Chant)

Posted on by

I cannot get over the performance of “Praise the Lord O My Soul (Greek Chant)” from Rachmaninov’s “Vespers” by the USSR Ministry of Culture. I’ve written about the female soloist before (can’t remember her name, now). I get chills every time I listen to it – over and over again.
I can’t get away from this.
