    As I am reading these posts I’m listening to Steven Curtis Chapman. The last song always really touches me. It’s taken from Psalm 46:10 & Zech 2:13. It’s not just the lyrics, the music is very gentle.

    BE STILL AND KNOW

    Be still and know that He is God.

    Be still and know that He is holy

    Be still oh restless soul of mine

    Bow before the Prince of Peace

    Let the noise and clamour cease

    Be still and know that He is God

    Be still and know that He is faithful

    Consider all that He has done

    Stand in awe and be amazed

    And know that He will never change

    Be still

    Be still and know that He is God

    Be still and know that He is God

    Be still and know that He is God

    Be still

    Be speechless

    Be still and know that He is God

    Be still and know He is our Father

    Come rest your head upon His breast

    Listen to the rhythm of

    His unfailing heart of love

    Beating for His little ones

    Calling each of us to come

    Be still

    Be still

    Y

    What kind of music do you like?

    Tori Amos - Playboy Mommy

    In my platforms
    I hit the floor
    Fell face down
    Didn't help my brain out
    Then the baby came
    Before I found
    The magic how
    To keep her happy

    I never was the fantasy
    Of what you want
    Wanted me to be
    Don't judge me so harsh little girl
    So
    You got a playboy mommy
    But when you tell em my name
    And you want to cross that
    Bridge all on your own
    Little girl they'll do you no harm
    Cause they know
    Your playboy mommy
    But when you tell em my name
    From here to Birminghman I got a few friends

    I never was there
    Was there when it counts
    I get my way
    You're so like me
    You seemed ashamed
    Ashamed that I was
    A good friend of American soldiers
    I'll say it loud here by your grave
    Those angels can't
    Ever take my place

    Somewhere where the orchids grow
    I can't find those church bells
    That played when you died
    Played Gloria
    Talkin bout
    Hosanah

    Don't judge me so harsh little girl
    You got a playboy mommy
    Come home
    But when you tell them soldiers my name
    And cross that bridge all on your own
    Little girl they'll do you no home
    Cause they know your playboy mommy
    I'll be home
    I'll be home
    To take you in my arms


    This song is on Tori's "From the Choirgirl Hotel" CD...it was written after she had a miscarriage. It makes me ache when I listen to it.

    Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton

    Would you know my name
    if I saw you in heaven?
    Would you feel the same
    if I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on
    'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
    Would you hold my hand
    if I saw you in heaven?
    Would you help me stand
    if I saw you in heaven?
    I'll find my way through night and day
    'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...
    Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
    Time can break your heart, have you begging please...
    Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
    And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
    Would you know my name
    if I saw you in heaven?
    Would you feel the same
    if I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on
    'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

    Oh stop it TYYDYY! That song gets me every damn time.

    I was raised listening to classical piano music, particularly from the 18th and 19th centuries. Some of these are the songs played by our own FARKEL.

    I particularly drown in Chopin etudes and ballades, and with the music of Edvard Grieg (particularly Piano Concerto in A Minor). And I love "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin (the song used by an airline in the "fly the friendly skies" commercial).
