Songs that you feel are "spiritual"

Arrested Development - Tennessee

"..I never at once felt so alone
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
Not just my spare tire
But Lord I ask you...

Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand Your plan..."
 
Sufjan Stevens - Chicago

"...I made a lot of mistakes
in My mind, in My mind..

You came to take Us
(all things go, all things go)
To recreate Us
(all things grow, all things grow )
We had Our mindset
(all things know, all things know)
You had to find it
(all things go, all things go)....."
 
Lykke Li lyrics are pretty much how my prayers would go:

Lykke Li - No Rest For The Wicked

"If one heart can mend another
Only then can we begin
So won't you hold on a little longer
Don't let them get away"

Lykke Li - Gunshot

"And the shot goes through my head and back
Gunshot, I can't take it back

Lay me down in Your ocean
Carry me and my burden
I was dreaming about You honey
I was hoping You'd save me"

"Suddenly...life has new meaning."


"When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory."


"We are few but strong in will
The last with pagan blood
We fought the world with burning steel
Now we sit in Hall of Gods."

 
An indulgent four vids for me.

Amazing thing--Rory Block's a white girl who can sing blues and gospel (and play a mean guitar to boot):



Another Rory, McLeod this time, a white boy who plays an amazing blues harp. The guys in the video are just miming, by the way, but they do it quite well:


And finally, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee:


It's obvious why the first sounds spiritual. The second, maybe not so much, and maybe the third and fourth don't sound it at all, but I think I must have been black in a previous life because I've always loved country blues and it resonates somewhere deep in my innermost being.
 
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark"

I'd forgotten another Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee song that I just rediscovered on YouTube, and this time it's overtly spiritual. I kid you not, I cried like a baby on hearing it again:


Another two in a completely different vein that do the trick are:


(song starts at 1:40, after the intro)


With this last, It's not just the song: it's the whole thing.
