What are you listening to?

I came across this music and I'm in awe with it. It's incredibly beautiful!
And it has very nice and inspiring lyrics too.

"Music of Living" by Dan Forrest


Lyrics

Giver of life,
Creator of all that is lovely;
Teach me to sing the words to your song.

I want to feel the music of living;
And not fear the sad songs;
But from them make new songs;
Composed of both laughter and tears.

Giver of life;
Creator of all that is lovely;
Teach me to dance to the sounds of your world.

I want to move in rythem with your plan;
Help me to follow your leading.

To risk even falling;
To rise and keep trying;
For you are leading the dance.

Giver of life,
Creator of all that is lovely;
Teach me to sing the words to your song.
 
Came across this indie band while I was visiting Canada recently, and after hearing this one song, downloaded their entire EP. Something about the beautiful simplicity of one guitar and two voices in harmony, makes a lot of other songs seem unnecessarily complex...

Ocie Elliott from Vancouver island.


Here is the original album version...

 
It started raining last night here and continued for most of today. The C's remark about 'sheets of rain' came into mind not long ago, and this song has been in the background since listening to it earlier today. It is a lyric video, and the lyrics are worth commenting on: simple yet they relay a strong message. The part where she sings 'Silver and gold turn into light' really strike a chord.

 

Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication ....
