Day, end of day
Each hanging spiral
Where is the shore
From this clear blue silence?
Up to the heavens that you daydream,
Remembering the sun and the deep green ivy
I know that sleep walking too
In trying to be free
Of all this damage in my eyes
Making confusion in my mind
When I hear a resurrection song
Night lays me down when I'm fading
When I can't go home because they hate me
To sing that resurrection song
Day, end of day
Each hanging spiral
What do you make
Of this clear blue silence?
Now that the engine driver
Has grown to be a deep sea diver
And the street has got no end,
You'd better keep your heart strong, little friend
Thought I heard a resurrection song

I'm on my way up to Canaan land
I'm on my way up to Canaan land
I'm on my way, glory hallelujah, I'm on my way
Had a mighty hard time, but I'm on my way
It's a mighty hard climb, but I'm on my way
I'm on my way, glory hallelujah, I'm on my way
All along the way, Satan lies a waitin'
Every night and day, Satan lies a waitin'
Hear me shout and pray: "Get behind me, Satan,"
I'm on my way, glory hallelujah, I'm on my way
Fight the Devil and pray: Lord, I want to climb higher
Chase the Devil away--Lord, I'm caught in his fire
Fight the Devil and pray: Lord, I want to climb higher
I'm on my way, glory hallelujah, I'm on my way

But. I agee with you. Just recently, a Mexican pop singer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqU3iknmj9E[/video]]Julieta Venegas, came up with a new CD and one of her songs just gave me that Buddhist tingle. :mrgreen:
Her song "El Presente" ("The Present").
Quote:
El presente es lo único que tengo
el presente es lo único que hay
es contigo mi vida con quien puedo sentir
que merece la pena vivir
Con el mundo como va
se nos acaba todo
ay, ay, ay, ay
La tempestad y la calma
casi son la misma cosa
ay, ay, ay, ay
Quote:
The present is the only thing I got
The present is the only thing that is
Is with you my love with whom I can feel
That it's worth living.
With the world as it goes
everything will come to an end
ay, ay, ay, ay
The tempest and the calmness
they are almost the same thing
ay, ay, ay, ay
Re: Music that moves you?
Wait, were we supposed to be sharing songs we found particularly Buddhist, or songs that resonated with our particular emotional natures and spiritual journeys? Perhaps I need to dig up some more uplifting Buddhist anthems to post :mrgreen:

Whatever strikes you.
(I posted some youtubes of most of the songs I posted - they're better digested when heard).

Don't Worry be Happy by: Bobby Mcferrin
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
LooK at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
Re: Music that moves you?
I still like "Heart Sutra", and various other Buddha-diddies from one Will Barry ...

The drum playing on the Treeleaf theme song. Man that guy can bust out those beats.

Re: Music that moves you?
Hello!
Michael Tiernan's "You hide" from his album "Spaces".
Someone edited some clips from the movie "Baraka" and made a nice homemade videoclip to accompany this tune.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdRKQhnbR1U[/video]]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdRKQhnbR1U
Gassho, Hans
Re: Music that moves you?
Hi Hans,
I just wanted to say that I really like the video you posted. I have to say that is was very "moving" - I'd heard the song before but it was paired nicely with the other clips.
Thank you!
Kelly Rok
Re: Music that moves you?
Very nice Hans.
Thank you.

yes, i must agree, the drummer for the band "Treeleaf" really is exceptional
as far as being moved, theres moved, and theres moved -- depending on the situation -- when the neighbor kid starts beating on his drums(he really can't play, unlike the treeleaf drummer), and i am out on the boat sanding, in 80 farenheit, in direct sunlight, i give in to the need to escape, and put on my mp3 player -- for such occasions, i will confess vintage ac-dc does the deed(i know, "this guy is the father to 3 daughters?!" -- you should have seen way back when i introduced my 15 yr old to red hot chili peppers -- the rest of the parents loved me) -- of course, this gets old very fast
well, at least my mp3 player is a "zen stone" :D
but for what i think you're looking for, i like the song "big music", by the waterboys
"i will always climb the mountain
because i have heard the big music
and i'll never be the same
something so pure has called my name"
but for "love", of the romantic kind, theres only one song: "i only have eyes for you", by the flamingos

Re: Music that moves you?
I've mentioned this one before, but I think it stands to be mentioned again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnXTi0wzfyQ[/video]]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnXTi0wzfyQ
The lyrics make me think of some of Dogen's perspectives on time:
She lives--no fear
Doubtless in everything she knows
Her time--unchecked
The sureness of her flows
She leaves herself inside you when she goes
She lives in a time of her own
You have always heard her speaking
She's been always in your ear
Her voice sounds a tone within you
Listen to the words you hear
Her time has no past or future
She lives everything she sees
Her time doesn't spin outside her
It's in every breath she breathes
She lives in a time of her own
Her love whips hard like wind and stabs in eager pains
She wins your thoughts and drives your inner planes
She clears and shares a love that never strains
She lives in a time of her own
You have always heard her speaking
She's been always in your ear
Her voice sounds a tone within you
Listen to the words you hear
Her time has no past or future
She lives everything she sees
Her time doesn't spin outside her
It's in every breath she breathes
She lives in a time of her own
Her eyes bring light, reflect the aura of her hair
She sends, attends, behind an alpha stare
She seeks the stars and spirals up their stairs
She lives in a time of her own
And how about this one? :)

All these nights have made me crazy
I can't seem to come around
Days of hiding in the sunshine
Feeling nighttime's falling down
Oh, I see another moon over me
All these lies have got me thinking
"Maybe this is just a thought"
Soon my ship of thought is sinking
Slipping through the thinking knot
Pulling back the veil are monkeys
Hidden there are monkeys more
Someone spills a jar of honey
Sticky monkeys crawl the floor
Oh, I see another moon over me
Re: Music that moves you?
I have always enjoyed Stuart Davis for "Buddhist music", he is a little raw sometimes.
Being from a gothic industrial background however I have always liked the song " We are" by Din Fiv...
One world, two sides
Who is wrong, who is right
What's yours, what's mine
Only shades of black and white
One self, two minds
One desires, one decides
What is wrong, what is right
Only shades of black and white
We are young
We are old
We are helpless
We are strong
We are islands in an endless sea
We are lost
We are found
We are hunter and the hunted
We are objects of obscurity
One life, little time
No one knows the reason why
People come, people go
Here today, gone tomorrow
We are alive
We're not alone
We can survive
If we are one
In a million years
Are we still victims of our fear
We are free
What we are to believe
Is what we will become
We are day, we are night
We are death, we are life
We are skin, we are blood
We are hate, we are love
We are fire, we are stone
We are flesh, we are bone
We are moon, we are sun
We are tool, we are gun
We are rain, we are snow
We are reap, we are sow
We are rich, we are poor
We are peace, we are war
We are Heaven
We are Hell
We are
Gassho,
Damian
Re: Music that moves you?
thanks, steph, for picking my favorite early roky song -- i suspect the great lyrics were in fact done by tommy hall -- who, if i recall, wound up on skid row in san francisco -- but roky's delivery was incredible
"we are all one animal"

this isnt a song that moves me so much but it is a nice song non the less

Van Morrison - Enlightnment
Chop that wood
Carry water
What's the sound of one hand clapping
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Every second, every minute
It keeps changing to something different
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It says it's non attachment
Non attachment, non attachment
I'm in the here and now, and I'm meditating
And still I'm suffering but that's my problem
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Wake up
Enlightenment says the world is nothing
Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion
And nothing is real
Good or bad baby
You can change it anyway you want
You can rearrange it
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Chop that wood
And carry water
What's the sound of one hand clapping
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
All around baby, you can see
You're making your own reality, everyday because
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
One more time
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's up to you
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's up to you, everyday
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's always up to you
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It's up to you, the way you think
Re: Music that moves you?
Not exactly a Buddhist song, but still...
The Jam (Paul Weller)-- That's Entertainment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv55WsedLYI[/video]]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv55WsedLYI
police car and a screaming siren
pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
a baby wailing and a stray dog howling
the screech of brakes and lamplights blinking
that's entertainment
a smash of glass and the rumble of boots
an electric train and a ripped up phone booth
paint splattered walls and the cry of a tom cat
lights going out and a kick in the balls
that's entertainment
days of speed and slow time mondays
pissing down with rain on a boring wednesday
watching the news and not eating your tea
a freezing cold flat with damp on the walls
that's entertainment
waking up at 6 a.m on a cool warm morning
opening the window and breathing in petrol
an amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays
that's entertainment
waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
a hot summers day and sticky black tarmac
feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
that's entertainment
two lovers kissing at the scream of midnight
two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
getting a cab and travelling on buses
reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs
that's entertainment
