    Watersprout: Il Divo is incredible! Wow!

    Snowbird: Love your daughter's comment. Beautiful.

    I don't think I've ever heard La Montana or Closer. I'll have to check those out.

    One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES is: Pie Jesu, which is a biblical or spiritual song most definitely. Only two people that I know of sing it exceedingly well and they are Charlotte Church and Sarah Brightman. It is an exquisite song in its simplicity. I absolutely love it.

    A World To Believe In"

    I've seen the tears and the heartache, and I felt the painI've seen the hatred in so many lives, and lost in vain
    And yet through this darkness there's always a light that shines through
    And takes me back home
    Takes me back home

    All of the promises broken
    And all of the songs left unsung
    Seems so far away as I make my way back to you

    [Chorus:]
    You gave me faith and you gave me a world to believe in

    You gave me your love to believe in
    And feeling this love I can rise up above
    And be strong and be whole once again

    I know that dreams we hold on to, can just fade away
    And I know that words can be wasted, with so much to say
    And I when I feel helpless there's always a hope that shines through
    And makes me believe
    Makes me believe


    And I see for one fleeting moment
    A paradise under the sun
    I drift away and I make my way back to you

    [Chorus:]

    [Bridge:]
    Life goes on
    Can leave all sweet sorrow and pain
    And life, hold on
    To all that you are
    To all that we'll be
    And I can go on once again


    [Chorus: x2]

    Because your love hears my soul once again

    I can live and I can dream once again
    Because you made me believe



     Though my faith in the WT took me down.... my faith in God has rebounded !!!

    not sure about spiritualize,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs4a86nRzr4&feature=fvst feels like i'm taken to a different zone and a different place.

    and coolios ganstas paradise does the same thing even though its a totally different kind of song.

    There is only one song I know of that every time I hear it makes me want to "spiritualize" it.

    Has some of the most powerful,beautiful, and thought provoking lyrics ever set to music.

    And without further ado here it is in video form

    John Lennon- IMAGINE

    i wouldnt know if my definition would be the same as anyone elses, but for me ....change my frequency and send me somewhere else.

    bit like my mind being bored out of my body and leaving the building when they used to drone and drone on at the meeting, but leaving in a nice way instead of being pushed.
