Let It Be

This link will take you to my "Lent 2014" playlist.  It's not your typical Lenten music because I mix religious with non-religious songs.  I first put this together when I was really down, in a really dark place.  I later edited out the songs that expressed only my angst.  I think all the songs I let remain have an element of hope.

Keep in mind this is music for my lent.  Not yet Easter.

Breath

I'm listening to Sara Groves sing "Breath of Heaven" on Grooveshark and I am overcome with a Holy grieving: a heart breaking before the Lord and receiving the grace to let Him hold me while I fall apart.  I'm thinking of my mother as she died.  I'm thinking of her birth into Heaven.  I'm remembering how her face felt in my hands.  I'm remembering how she took her last breath.  Oh Papa (Abba)!  I miss my mommy, my sweet dear mother, Your lovely daughter and quietly faithful disciple Almeda.  Lord, bless my mom most richly. 

Thanksgiving

Windham Hill's Thanksgiving album is exquisite.  I'm listening to it on Grooveshark.

Piano Jazz

Listening to "piano-centric" Jazz via Songza, via my Samsung Galaxy.
Nice.

Tango!

Today I'm listening to tangos on Grooveshark and on Songza.  My love for tangos is a new discovery for me! :)

Old School: Radio

Today I'm going "old school":  listening to music on the radio!  I'm currently listening to WDPR (Classical 88.1)  and they are running a very lovely series of classics.  I heard some Beethoven, Gounod, and now John Rutter in a lyric style, all in the span of about 30 minutes.  I need to find out who this programmer is; I like their selections very much.  Shaun Yu is the name on the schedule.  But I think it sounds like Richard Hulsman.  Ah!  I was right!  But I still don't know who programmed this batch of music.  Was it Yu or Hulsman?  Either way, I will be back to this station at this hour again!
