Took me a moment for it to click and then 'dire straights' popped up. Loved Brothers in arms!
The song you linked is pretty nice and chilled, thank you!

Not religious.... but I agree, some songs irrespective of what your own beliefs are can be very uplifting. there was one song that I loved well before it clicked 'this is about god' and still loved it
I think fits for this thread

Oh - and "Christmas at Ground Zero" - great for making me laugh at my own fatalistic attitude any time of year. I wouldn't want to listen to his stuff all day long but hearing it once in a while is kind of fun. It's irreverent and clever. Good stuff.

Haha! Yeah, I love Weird Al too.... for a guy that has been churning stuff out since the 80's (I think?) he has aged really well and still has kept the creative juices flowing. Love the saga begins! Thanks for reminding me

Jonsi changed my life a few years ago, and since our fire 6 months ago it's just turned for the worst again. Haven't felt like music since, but trying... |
That's really good! Thank you!

Haha, got to admit I do have a bit of a soft spot for American country... probably part credit to my Mum who had a crush on Kris Kristopheson when I was a kid heh... would play all kinds on the record player.
I remember hearing a song while in China (odd place to hear it but yeah) by Chris Cagle... was thousands of miles away from my girlfriend for the year (we're married now) and this song helped
What a beautiful day:
