Songs that you feel are "spiritual"


"When my darling shall come,
Should step my dearest,
I shall know it from (the way of his) arrival,
Guess it from treading,
Guess it from treading,
Even if (him)were a verst away
Even if (him)were a verst away
Or maybe two.
Like a haze I would go outside,
Float like smoke to yard,
Float like smoke to yard,
I would give off sparkles,
I would give off sparkles,
Flow like a flame; *Go beside a wort, Gliding in front of you.
Aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa
Surely would I shake a hand,
Should even a snake rest in the palm,
Surely would I kiss(a mouth),
Should there be death against the mouth;
Surely would I hang in (his)neck,
Should decease lay on neck bones;
Surely would I shin up beside(him),
Should blood fill his side.
'Though my darling has not,
His lips covered with blood,
Not his hands in the tallow of snakes,
Not his neck on decease's grab;
Mouth is made of melted butter,
Lips like honey,
Lips like honey,
Hands (are)golden,handsome,
hands (are)golden,handsome,
Neck like the stem of a heather."
 

No Ceiling - Eddie Vedder (for the "Into the Wild" movie soundtrack)

Comes the morning
When I can feel
That there's nothing
Left to be concealed
Moving on
A scene surreal
Know my heart will never
Will never be far from here

Sure as I am breathing
Sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom
In my flesh
I leave here believing
More than I had
And there's a reason I'll be
A reason I'll be back

As I walk
The hemisphere
I got my wish
To up and disappear
I've been wounded
I've been healed
Now for landing I've been
Landing I've been cleared

Sure as I am breathing
Sure as I'm sad
I'll keep this wisdom
In my flesh
I leave here believing
More than I had
This love has got
No ceiling
 

English Translation

eien sagasu kimi wa utsurigi na yumemibito
uwaki na yume ni sugari anata wa doko e yuku

You, who seek eternity, are a capricious dreamer
As you cling to a fickle dream, to where shall you go?


tasogare hiraku kagi wo sagashite tsuki no kage
todokanai mama naita watashi wa doko e yuku

I, who wept because I sought the key to open twilight
But could not reach the moonlight--to where shall I go?


futari hitomi ni himitsu nakushite mo
kasaneta ude wo hodoki wa shinai wa

Even if the two of us lose our secrets in the other's eyes,
We won't unclasp our layered arms


ichigatsu no aoi tsuki asayake kakushite yo
owaru hazu no nai yoru ni yasashii yoake

Pale moon of January, hide the morning glow
To a night that should have no end will come a gentle dawn


chikadzuku hodo ni itamu koi no omosa no sei de
hanaresugiteta mune wo jiyuu to yondeita

Because of the weight of love, which hurts the closer one gets,
When our chests were separated too far, I called it freedom


kurai basho ni dake hikarumono ga aru to
chiisa na mado no tooku mitsumeteta

Saying, "Only in dark places are there things that shine,"
I gazed into the distance from my tiny window


ichigatsu no aoi tsuki doko made ochite yuku
owaru hazu no nai koi ni yasashii yoake

Pale moon of January, how far will you sink?
To a love that should have no end will come a gentle dawn


ichigatsu no aoi tsuki asayake kakushite yo
owaru hazu no nai yoru ni yasashii yoake

Pale moon of January, hide the morning glow
To a night that should have no end will come a gentle dawn
 

"See The Same Way"

There was a little girl picked up a doll
Oh, so white as snow
Said this is me as I really am
Same little girl picked up a doll
Looked just like her
And threw it away in the garbage, the garbage can

One man in a courtroom with a grim-faced stare
A sea of armchair experts judging what's said
One man saw another man, oh, that could've been him
One man and a woman saw nothing but red, red, red

You're looking at a picture
I'm looking at it too
Do you see what I see today, hey
Let's talk about the difference
Find out what's in the way
Open our eyes, see the same
See the same way

One man saw a healer doing such good, good things
One man saw a sinner by the Holy Sea
Well Jesus and the Pharisees didn't see eye to eye
But the man on the shore saw so clearly

You're looking at a picture
I'm looking at it too
Do you see what I see today, hey
Let's talk about the difference
Find out what's in the way
Open our eyes, see the same
See the same way

I want to be at the meeting
Well, I want to be in that number
When we all see, see the same
See the same way

One man saw a million men
Standing in peaceful grace
One man saw nobody missing work
Telling lots of bad jokes
Might just make you feel good
But you never know who you
Who you hurt with your words

You're looking at a picture
I'm looking at it too
Do you see what I see today, hey
Let's talk about the difference
Find out what's in the way
Open our eyes, see the same
See the same way, hey now

There was a man playing G.I. Joe
Way back there in the woods
In training for the coming of the promised war
Seeing all conspiracy
Needs somebody to blame
If only he could open up
Love a little more, hmm

You're looking at a picture
I'm looking at it too
Do you see what I see today, hey
Let's talk about the difference
Find out what's in the way
Open our eyes, see the same
See the same way, hey now

I want to be at the meeting
Well, I want to be in that number
When we all see, see the same
See the same way
