Soul Music

My favorite song of the moment is Comptine d'Un Autre Été by Yann Tiersen. Many of you will remember this song from the movie Amelie. I loved the movie and I'm sure the soundtrack spoke to me but I truly heard this song this September. My family and I participated in a music school matinee and the piano teacher played this. I nearly burst out crying from being so touched by the song. I think I've mentioned this here before but I don't usually cry publicly but this time it was close. My soul was bursting but a positively emotional way. Some songs do that.

Other songs I've loved in a soul-bursting way, in no particular order...

Ennio Morricone - Gabriel's Oboe

Kent - 747, FF, Dom Andra

Lauryn Hill - Zion

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

Janet Jackson - Got 'Til It's Gone, If

Michael W. Smith - You Are Holy (Prince of Peace)

Robbie Williams - No Regrets

Faith No More - Easy

Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday, Beautiful Day, One, Miss Sarajevo

The Corrs - Radio

Ronan Keating - Life is a Roller Coaster


I'd call these my soul songs. The list goes on of course. As for the Soundtrack of My Life, well, that's much more cacophonic ;)

I don't know what these songs do for you, if they do anything for that matter, but if you listened to them you'll have glimpsed into me.
