Songs That Fill You With the Spirit
Every time I hear Alison Krauss’ Down to the River to Pray, I always feel that much closer to Heaven. Anything you folks listen to that does the same thing? |
I'm not a believer but I love some old time Gospel music. My grandparents were in a Gospel/Bluegrass band with my grandmother's sister and her husband, and I remember that sound with pleasure. I wast just watching this on YouTube:

And something a bit more recent...

Hard to top this...

Don’t let the name of the band fool ya, this is a religious experience. Listening to this song makes me feel closer to whatever being watches over us!

Maybe the wrong kind of spirit, but this song fills me with something...

I Can Feel Him In The Morning - Grand Funk Railroad
Keep in mind that the first time I heard this song I was tripping on shrooms and it made me hide behind a couch for almost an hour. The song opens with a bunch of children talking about their opinions of God and the last comment is a child saying "and....and...if you're good you live forever, but if you're bad, you die when you die. You die when you die. YOU DIE WHEN YOU DIE." And this switches from left, to right, to left, to right speaker. Don't listen to this when on shrooms. https://blogsap.files.wordpress.com/...e_you_know.jpg All that said if you listen to the song it's very simple and very much of its time while holding significance today. To me about being tethered back to what's important while understanding you have a responsibility to leave the world a better place than it was when you came into it. Or to at least try to. I don't think it hurts that it sounds like something early Ament/Gossard would have made... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g2aLx8R0JT8" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

I don't know if 'the spirit' is a proper term for what this fills me with, but something reminded me of it today and listening I'd forgotten just how much of a masterpiece this is. So how much detail you can pick out and how every detail is perfectly executed.
The bass, the drums, the keyboards, the mixing, the mastering, the horns. The horns right before the chorus are one of the best licks in music history, and the interplay between the sax and bass towards the end [around 5:30] is nearly orgasmic. <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fXmmWBzS-_o" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Given the subject matter of the Leftovers, and the images of people who are "no longer there" in the intro, this song had a very powerful effect on me and how I view life and loss. |

I Saw the Light - Hank Williams |
Like Jesus, this thread returned from the dead. I didn't realize that I'd already posted in it (with many of the same suggestions.) My bad.

Almost forgot that this is perfect for this thread. After a long wait, this finally came out on film last year. If you haven't had a chance to see this documentary yet, or certainly if you've never even heard the album that came from the footage, you owe yourself an evening of bliss. . .

Blind Wilie Johnson was a Texan and actually came before Dorsey, he is a very important in both the blues and gospel world, Eric Clapton has called him the greatest slide man ever, ah....debatable.
Johnson had three outstanding/important works, the haunting Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground , the above John The Revelator , and Soul Of A Man.
