I am going to attempt to post this link for this music. I hope that it will lift your soul as it does mine!

KarmaTube: Prayer (Dion and Bocelli)
KarmaTube: Prayer (Dion and Bocelli) (http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1676)
Enjoy this beautiful song sung in both English and Italian by musical superstars Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. The inspiring lyrics set to breathtaking photography creates powerfully uplifting media. ...

[indigosd]

oh...nobody likes this:cry:

[thelma313]

I really appreciate how talented Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli are and while I would don't listen to this music, I know lots of people who love it. In fact one of my very good friends is nuts over Celine and he got to meet her last year which made him super happy. Anyway, thank you for sharing this with us. I think it is so nice that you wanted to share something that inspires you and makes you feel better. That is very generous!

My parents actually live right across the street from where Celine and her family lived when she was a little girl.

Big hugs to you, indigosd!
Rosella

[indigosd]

Oh tussen tak Rosella! I do not feel so ignored anymore! I love all kinds of music-very eclectic tastes. I loathe heavy metal and refused to ever allow it played in my home when the older kids were teenagers-made me feel ANGRY and homicidal! Definately not good for them lol

[Zaphoon]

Well, you know what they say about heavy metal causing disease. I don't allow it played in my home, either.

((Flying monkeys are expensive - I have to dress mine in depends))

[thelma313]

Oh I definitely agree. I do not like heavy metal either but I love all sorts of music too from pop music, electronic or alternative rock to classical and latin music and everything in between. I think the best therapy in the world is going for walks with my iPod and my pooch. That's just the best!

I am assuming that "tussen tak" means thank you?

Hey I don't have any flying monkeys... where can I get some?

[GlenBrittle]

Ahhh HEAVY METAL , it calms the savage mind.

My parents thought I was warped at a young age and tried to keep me from "that disturbing music". At ten yrs old , I told them not to listen to it if you don't like it , but I enjoy it. I slept to it often .

Glen

[KeeKer]

Not crazy about heavy metal either. Saying that you all should know that my husband was and my son is in a heavy metal band. Can you imagine how well I survived the practises? I love all kind of music. The heavy metal lovers, not so much tolerance for other kinds.

[BarryG]

Personally, I love all music except polka and C&W (sorry, not living up to my cowboy rep here) but my first passion is rock and roll. Everything from Aerosmith to Zeppelin, Boston to Yes, Clapton to The Who. Like Glen, there is nothing like going to sleep with some good music (Pink Floyd). When my older sister was a teenager my dad made her return an Elvis Presley record that she bought but ten years later he had to put up with the sound of Jimi Hendrix and Santana blasting out of my room.

Anyone seen School of Rock with Jack Black? A cute movie with some good music.

[indigosd]

BG, awww...come on, POLKA is cardiovascular! This is my newest youtube favorite. IT will make the men undulate, twitch and writheeeee!

Glen-

"My parents thought I was warped at a young age..."

So, your parents were right!!!

[Zaphoon]

You just have to watch "The Big Joe Polka Show" on RFDTV if you have satellite or cable. I'm a top 40's lover of music from the 40's thru 70's. Swing, dixieland, country, rock & roll. One of my favorite groups from the 60's & 70's is Blood Sweat & Tears. I like the sound of David Clayton Thomas' voice.

[tdamess]

what song i liked but, never paid attention to ..and now that my son has als ...i heard this on oldies radio dont let the sun go down on me ,cant remember who sings it but, now i listen too good and cry its like it has almost become a prayer for me and my son as one

[BarryG]

Dont let the sun go down on me by Elton John, great song. Here's a link to Sir Elton singing it himself:

Greektube - ELTON JOHN - Don t Let The Sun Go Down On Me (http://www.greektube.org/content/view/50028/2/)

[BarryG]

Zaph, BS&T were a great band, I loved the all the horns and David Clayton Thomas (a Canadian boy) has one of the best voices. Here is him singing a song which says it for me.

YouTube- Blood Sweat & Tears - And when I die

[BarryG]

Kay Marie, I want to thank you for the links to those two TOTALLY different videos. Beyonce, what can I say? The song is ok, the dancing is :shock::shock:. If you learn that dance you HAVE to make a video and post it. I watched all of it (several times), the polka one, not so much. Bad memories of too many company Christmas parties and weddings, being dragged out to do the chicken dance, YIKES!

[tdamess]

Dont let the sun go down on me by Elton John, great song. Here's a link to Sir Elton singing it himself:

i wanted this song played at my funeral lol..still do along with seasons in the sun

[indigosd]

Barry, isn't that incredible!!! When I do learn all of those moves and can do it that fast I will post it because that would be a huge accomplishment!! I saw Elton John in concert in 1972 in Southern California and again in 1986 in upstate New York. Over the top fabulous. Anyone else remember James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Carly Simons...those were the days for sure. I remember the exact moment that I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show-tiny little black and white screen and my Parents were horrified! lol

[tdamess]

i do know lots of songs just cant remember who sang what most of the time and they were good times, good music, am a old country lover also

[BrianD]

Hey Jen... thanks for posting that Skillet link.

Our family actually went to the Skillet concert a few weeks ago. As luck would have it, we had front row center seats! Man those guys put on a great concert.... and as John Cooper would say it... we rocked our faces off.

And FYI, the NFL has even picked up a couple of their songs for the background music when doing some of the short video highlights during the games.

CJ , awesome link . Thanks

I love all of this...thank you everyone.

[indigosd]

I love all kinds of music! In one of our threads someone made a comment about possibly doing meditation. The music by Deva Premal and Miten makes my heart resonate! These are the words that they are chanting. Such a wonderful way to greet the sunrise and to celebrate the wonder of the moment.

Traditional

TWAHMEVA MATA CHA PEETAH TWAHMEVA
TWAHMEVA BANDHU CHA SAKAH TWAHMEVA
TWAHMEVA VIDHYA DRAVEENAM TWAHMEVA
TWAHMEVA SARVAM MAMA DEVA DEVA




This traditional chant is sung during "arti" (closing hymn)
as a vow of devotion to God in all. The text translates as:
Thou art my Mother, My Father thou art,
Thou art my relatives, and my only Friend,
Thou art my Wisdom, My Wealth thou art,
Thou art my Lord, my own true Love

Here is the link;

YouTube- Deva Premal , Miten, Manose and Friends "Twameva"

Would love to know if anyone else listens and what you think!

YouTube- Deva Premal , Miten, Manose and Friends "Ashes to Ashes"

Spirit

[peter57]

Ashes to ashes is a nice piece of music.
Nice to wind down after a busy day with a nice wine or beer.

I am not really into chants though.

cheers
Peter

[tdamess]

thank you i like this song

Listen to what she is saying to ToTo in the beginning. Click your heels three times!

[thelma313]

Thanks Kay Marie! That was awesome. I love that movie. I've seen it a million times and it just never gets old.
Don't you love that Toto. I have a Toto but his name is Chico and he follows me everywhere.

Trivia: In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, Toto was played by a female black Cairn Terrier whose real name was Terry. Terry was paid a $125.00 salary each week, which was far more than many of the human actors (the Singer Midgets who played the Munchkins only received $50.00 a week). During production Terry's foot was broken when one of the witch's guards stepped on her. A second dog had to be used while her foot healed. Because of the popularity of the movie, and because that role was the one she was most remembered for, Terry's owner changed her official name to Toto. She actually appeared in 13 different films. She died at age 10.

[Zaphoon]

Thank you for the nice-to-know info on Toto.

[Ratman55]

Kay Marie--thanks for starting this thread. I really liked the meloncholy flute, but all have been inspiring. Upon retirement, the dir of music at our h.s. gave me a CD of one of my favorite Symphonies. Here is a short youtube of Dvorak's Symphony #9 (From the New World) 2nd movement. It is not the best example, but others are available. Dvorak studied the songs of Native Americans and Negro Spirituals before he wrote this in 1880s. Later, a song called "Going Home" was written to the same tune. Many find it sad, but I think it is too deep for sadness.
JK YouTube- Dvorak, New World Symphony - 2nd Mvt Part 1

[indigosd]

ohhhh....! 3 notes into this and all of my hairs were standing on end with absolute soul enjoyment of this Symphony! THANK YOU!! :]
I had not listened to that for years and it was just what I needed today. :]

[Melodyparrish]

Ratman55,
Such an exquisite piece of music!!! Thank you so much. My spirit really needed this today! Or as Kay would say- "soul beautiful!"

Peace,

[Melodyparrish]

More Christmas music to share-
Amy Grant singing Breath of Heaven. They've set clips from the Nativity to it...beautiful and
0ne of my favorites...

YouTube- Breath Of Heaven - by Amy Grant

Peace & Merry Christmas

[joelc]

I love that song, here is another that is soooo appropriate for this Christmas season.

YouTube- Mary Did You Know

[LauraW]

I love that song, Joel.

[BarryG]

This has nothing to do with inspirational songs but I got an IPod touch for Christmas and am sitting here in my recliner listening to the greatest hits of The Who. They say that you can best relate to the music that you first heard when you were growing up and as I was a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s I can really relate to The Who. Brings back so many memories to hear the electronic notes of "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Who Are You" (I hate you CSI).

Anyway, my new IPod is supposed to be another talker for me and it is but a word of warning, if you have any EL issues, don't listen to music that you love while wrapped up in a music cocoon! You are probably saying to yourself right now "What, he is just discovering MP3s now?
I know, welcome to the 21st century Barry! :-P:-P

Merry Christmas friends!

[Ratman55]

Ipod, great idea, Barry. I used to confiscate them from my students, but always returned at the end of the period. BTW, can anyone tell me more about Rundgren's song in Sadiemae's earlier post? I finally got around to listening to it. Does he have a more personal connection to S. Hawking?-JK

[sadiemae]

I dont know if he has any connection other than just being a wonderful person. I have seen Todd about 40 times and his music always inspires. My brother is the BIG Todd fan in our family, I will ask him if he knows anymore about it. Lori

[GlenBrittle]

Hey Barry,

Have you found the free utility called handbreak ? This program will encode ".avi" movie files into ".m4v" files that you can load on your Ipod. I have downloaded complete tv series and converted them to watch on Ipod while Wanda is watching her crafty shows.

Glen

[BarryG]

Glen, I just found that, looks cool. I knew I should have gotten the 32 or 64 gb IPod rather than the 8. But ALL I want it for is for talking! Yeah right Barry!

[GlenBrittle]

Hey Barry,

Can you take it back ?

"bought wrong one"
"got another one for xmas"

Now is the time , boxing day returns ;)

Glen

[Melodyparrish]

Barry,
I would totally encourage you to exchange it for the 64gb if at all possible! The IPod is an amazing piece of equipment, and the more you play with it, the more you'll want to do. Communication AND entertainment value are both huge. Enjoy!!

[thelma313]

Are you all talking about the iPod Touch? I have an iPhone which is basically the same thing except with the added phone feature. I use if for so many things including the flashlight app :) I also play Scrabble and crosswords on it, I Facebook with it, I take pictures, I email, and I use the "notes" to make lists and of course I use it as an iPod. It's a great little gizmo and I am a bit of a gadget queen so I just eat it up.

[BethU]

I just got mine, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get it out of the shrink wrap. It's going to be a steep learning curve for me. :lol:

[thelma313]

I recommend using a letter opener or scissors to help with the shrink wrap. ;)

[BethU]

I read your post just in time. I'll put the hammer away and try sissors ...

[thelma313]

Oh Beth! You are just too funny!
