Luigi Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 An olden, golden country music selection - Emmylou Harris, backed up by The Hot Band, singing Rodney Crowell's "'Til I Can Gain Control Again." This one qualifies as "a perfect song" - I wouldn't change a note, a word, a harmony, or anything else! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LODkVkpaVQA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 A young Ricky Skaggs singing "Talk about Suffering [Here Below]." That man can flat out sing! And this is from 1989 when he was in his prime voice. A cappella, classic American folk hymn. The song doesn't actually start until about 50 seconds into the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMGbCUXqWN0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) If angels don't sing like Alison Krauss, they should. Here she sings "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross." The actual singing begins at 0:50. The last chorus is sung a cappella, with the guy holding the camera singing a sweet harmony. Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross Lyrics Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary's mountain. Chorus: In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever; 'til my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; there the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. Chorus Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; help me walk from day to day, with its shadows over me. Chorus x 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlCSVIfsllU Edited February 13, 2015 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) This one's from 1963 - Vatican II was still in progress then, wasn't it? This is. Just. So. Smooth. Understated pop. Just enough instrumentation to support a great lead vocal by Barbara Lewis. I could dance to this all night. (With the right person, of course!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqFiWKt18gw Edited February 22, 2015 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Carlene Carter does a duet with Willie Nelson on "Troublesome Waters." It's a commonly known religious folk song, but this particular version was written by Carlene's grandmother Mother Maybelle Carter, her husband Ezra (aka EJ), and Dixie Deen (who later went on to marry Tom T Hall). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W-FAhl9Akg Edited February 23, 2015 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Another by Alison Krauss, written by her banjo/guitar player Ron Block. "Jesus Savior, Help Me to Stand" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dTNJ8Adkzc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's the season of grace coming out of the voidWhere a man is saved by a voice in the distanceIt's the season of possible miracle curesWhere hope is currency and death is not the last unknownWhere time begins to fadeAnd age is welcome homeIt's the season of eyes meeting over the noiseAnd holding fast with sharp realizationIt's the season of cold making warmth a divine interventionYou are safe here you know nowDon't forgetDon't forget I loveI loveI love youIt's the season of scars and of wounds in the heartOf feeling the full weight of our burdensIt's the season of bowing our heads in the windAnd knowing we are not alone in fearNot alone in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Karl Jenkins' "Benedictus." It's from his Mass for Peace. I'm not all that fond of many parts of it, but this very good. It's the 'blessing' at the end of the piece, but the words are basically from the Sanctus - Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. I post it for the feast of St. Catherine of Siena, a particular friend of mine. I've had the opportunity to pray at her tomb in Rome (Santa Maria sopra Minerva church) and in Siena. Happy feast day, St. Catherine! And happy feast of St. Catherine to all of you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibwxzxER_pY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Something else from Karl Jenkins - it's labeled "Sanctus," but it sounds like it's got some parts of the "Gloria" added in to me. I post it in honor of St. Pope Pius V, whose feast is today. Edited April 30, 2015 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) This is an old Black spiritual, "Ain't You Got a Right," scored for large chorus. I really like this version by the Georgia Tech choir. Personally, I think this song, with paraphrased lyrics, would be perfect for the March For Life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0IrwL5Ge8w Edited May 8, 2015 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) To honor a couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary today. Emmylou Harris (lead), Dolly Parton (high harmony), and Linda Ronstadt (low harmony) sing "When We're Gone, Long Gone" written by Jamie O'Hara and Kieran Kane (the duo formerly known as the O'Kanes). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0kECarPlhk Edited June 3, 2015 by Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
