Yah,.... a lot of music I listen to has a Christian theme Uni, musicians like David Ruis - Sweet winds, or Don Francisco - Never let go of your hand,... music like that, you can find them on you tube if you feel like it.    

 

I like music that has meaning to me, I sort of have to feel a theme, emotion, it must be relative to me, sadly I dont find much modern music like that, it may be out there but I just haven't found it.

 

That said I like a lot of the music by the Eurythmics, Annie Lennox has a lovely voice and I think one of her best songs was the one below. Otherwise I listen to John Lennon, Mike and the Mechanics, Toni Childs, even occasionally Robbie Williams, but I stress.. occasionally!    

 

I also like Dire Straits as your last post, Brothers in arms, Money for nothing, all great songs.

 

See how you enjoy Annie.

 

 

I do like eurythmics, but some of her solo stuff I wasn't too keen on.

Funny you mention emotions and music, for me I went off Mike & the Mechanics because of the song The Living Years- makes me think of my dad and it fills me with sadness.

 

I do enjoy Bread as well, and Cat Stevens.

What I enjoy about this thread is I get introduced to different stuff, some of it I might never listen to again, others save it and add it to the playlist

Yah, its a very "real" song and I relate to it in much the same way, my father also passed when I was not around, I never got to say goodbye, so for me its a very genuine song, a tribute if you like.

 

Aah yes, Cat Stevens, haven't heard his music for a while, but its always been thought provoking, Billy Joel too, Piano man is most likely his (and my favourite) but "You may be right" and a number of others were also good.  

 

What about the Moody Blues.....

Grumpy...Perhaps you are familiar with her..perhaps not...but I would recommend that you give Natalie Merchant a go. Songs of hers through her 10000 maniacs days will be familiar, but its her solo career where her passion (or compassion) and spirituality really shine through. The album Tigerlily (from which the below is from) is to me as close to perfection as you can get.

 

This video below is from a VH1 special where she explains the songs and then sings them. The whole thing is on youtube, you kind of have to click through from video to video...but they are all well worth the listen. 

 

Not seeing her live is probably my biggest regret and number 1 item on my bucket list.

Got to see her unplugged in a small intimate venue - 50 odd ppl - she was brilliant.

No was not aware of her at all, seems I may have been living in a musical desert for a while. 

 

Beautiful Lyrics, I shall do so and listen to a few on you-tube, thank you for the heads up, thats two wonderful artists I didn't know of.
