Answer 1

STROKIN (Clarence Carter)

Answer 2

Gortoz A Ran-J'Attends

Composed by Hans Zimmer
Performed by Denez Prigent and Lisa Gerrard

It's an operatic piece, sung in ancient Brittany and simply magnificent. I have never found the lyrics for it.

Edit: I was wrong. I just found the lyrics.


Gortoz a ran

Gortozet 'm eus, gortozet pell
E skeud teñval tourioù gell
E skeud teñval tourioù gell

E skeud teñval an tourioù glav
C'hwi am gwelo 'c'hortoz atav
C'hwi am gwelo 'c'hortoz atav

Un deiz a vo 'teuio en-dro
Dreist ar morioù, dreist ar maezioù
Dreist ar maezioù, dreist ar morioù

D'am laerezh war an treujoù
'Teuio en-dro karget a fru
E skeud teñval an tourioù du

'Teuio en-dro an avel c'hlas
Da analañ va c'halon c'hloaz't

Kaset e vin diouzh e anal
Pell gant ar red en ur vro all

Kaset e vin diouzh e alan
Pell gant ar red, hervez 'deus c'hoant

Hervez 'deus c'hoant pell eus ar bed
Etre ar mor hag ar stered

English

I'm Waiting

I was waiting, waiting for a long time
In the dark shadow of grey towers
In the dark shadow of grey towers

In the dark shadow of rain towers
You will see me waiting forever
You will see me waiting forever

One day it will come back
Over the seas, over the lands
Over the lands, over the seas

To steal me on the trunks
It will come back full of spray
In the dark shadow of the black towers

Will come back the blue wind
To breathe my wounded heart

I will be pulled away by its blow
Far away by its stream to another land

I will be pulled away by its breath
Far away by its stream, wherever it wants

Wherever it wants, far away from this world
Between the sea and the stars

Edit: Suzanne, thank you, but I was finally able to find them. My son is home sick from school, and as chance would have it he was searching for them at the same time this question posted. Talk about a stroke of luck. Thanks again.

Answer 4

Crass - Big A Little A

BE exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
I am he and she is she but you're the only you
No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
It's up to you to change you life and my life's up to me
The problems that you suffer from are problems that you make
The s/hit we have to climb through is the s/hit we choose to take
If you don't like the life you live, change it now it's yours
Nothing has effect if you don't recognise the cause
If the programmes's not the one you want, get up, turn off the set
It's only you that can decide what life you're gonna get
If you don't like religion you can be the antichrist
If your tired of politics you can be an anarchist
But no on ever changed the church by pulling down the steeple
And you'll never change the syustem by bombing number ten
Systems just aren't made of bricks they're most made of people
You may send then into hiding, but they'll be back again
If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
If you don't want to be a number, don't give them your name
If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection
They'll try to make you play their game,refuse to show your face
Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
I am he and she is she but you're the only you.

Answer 6

If I let myself think about a song, most songs can speak to me on a spiritual level, even ones I don't like. Recently I had a revelation regarding Jewel's Foolish Games - "somewhere along the line I must have gone off track with you". (I don't know if that's in the radio edit.)

NIN - Hurt "I hurt myself today to see if I still feel"
Sarah - McClachlan I Will Remember You "clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose"
Nixons - Sister all of it as I like to think my brother would be saying that about me.

Answer 7

It's a song created by a high spiritualy evolved person.It has one's "figerprints", one's vibrations. If I feel that person's message than the song speaks to me on a spiritual level

Answer 8

"En aranjuez con tu amor": track 11 on Sarah Brightman's Time to say Goodbye CD.

All the songs on this CD speak to me, but particularly those sung in other languages; if I don't understand the words, I can focus on her magnificent voice, and power. Track 5, In Pace, is very deeply moving to me, makes my meditations richer.

I know you said just one, but I couldn't help it...it's Sarah Brightman after all...

Answer 9

Con Te Partiro by Boccelli

Drive by Incubus:

Sometime, I feel the fear
of Uncertainty, stinging clear,
And I cant help but wonder why
I let the fear take the wheel and steer.
Its driven me before and it seems to be the way
Every one else gets around
But lately Im beginning to find that when I drive myself -
MY LIFE IS FOUND.

Answer 10

Nichole Nordeman- "What if"
This song made my previously agnostic husband begin to come to church with me. The whole song makes me cry-
What if he takes his palace in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

Mostly because it makes you realize that it really doesn't hurt anything by being a Christian....

They say the cross will only make a fool of you-
who says that? To me, the only people who say that are my beer-drinking, high-school drop-out, trailer park living friends.

But what if you’re wrong?
What if there’s more?
What if there’s hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He’s more than enough?
What if it’s love?
