Inspiring music

Now, this is my kind of music.  Exactly what I needed to hear today!

With Love,

Anatoly

Just put on your earphones.... and close your eyes... Merge with the eternal words from ingenious Sufi poet Rumi:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTgD2_VkeAk

O’ day, arise!
shine your light , the atoms are dancing

Thanks to Him the universe is dancing,
overcome with ecstasy , free from body and mind

I’ll whisper in your ear where their dance is leading them.

All the atoms in the air and in the desert are dancing ,
puzzled and bemused to the ray of light,
they seem insane.

All these atoms are not so different than we are,
happy or miserable,
perplexed and bewildered

We are all beings in the ray of LIGHT from The Beloved,

Nothing can be said.

No further comment needed. <3

I loved this Mark - a masterpiece indeed.

Thanks for sharing

This is just breathtakingly beautiful...

I love this one Alex - it's been on the Openhand playlist for several years

Found this very moving, seemly about the constant cycle of the journey...

I just came across this, it's awesome, and so appropriate...

I came across this and found it deeply moving in it's awesome simplicity. To me, the 'natural great peace' spoken of in it, reflects the 'Sacred Ground of Being' that I'll be pointing towards during the upcoming Arise Divine Being World Tour. It's that unshakeable, immovable eternal existence at the core of us...

Okay, so it's a degree melancholy, but personally I find it inspirational nevertheless.
Do get tired out there sometimes in the shift? Long for home?
Know that you are never alone in your challenges...

I'm off to Australia soon for the Arise Divine Being events there. One of my favourite Aussie bands is the John Butler Trio. Here's a classic I felt to share...

Don't have any idea what she is singing but found this beautiful nevertheless. Felt to share this here. Enjoy!

It touched me so much. It spoke to me directly.

I hope you like it too.

"Just be who you are, you're the radiant star"! ☆╮

I bookmarked this to listen to whenever I need a reminder (which seems to be everyday nowadays, haha) - it's like having a wise friend around to give you a pep talk when down, such amazing lyrics!

Who will forget this song that we sung together in the Sweat Lodge on Divinicus 19...

Yes, FEAR is one of my favourites too...

I heard this on the radio today (released in 2017) and remembered just how inspiring this song can be - says it all really, a must-listen over and over to remind us that we ARE light! xo

Yesterday my brother shared some music of a band called the Flying Colors with me, this song absolutely blew me away.. 

I felt a powerful energy rising through this one...

I found this pretty cool...

For anyone who didn't know, perhaps the most 'out-there' music festival is happening right now in Glastonbury, the heart chakra of the planet. Here's a snippet by the marvellous Stormzy, who 'boke the set' (as they say :-))...

I love it Vimal - way to go - thanks for sharing.

I find it inspiring that mainstream artists are teaming up to support the movement.

I knew it was for you Jen - that's why I posted it

This song from Jason Mraz really touched me today, I absolutetly love his voice.

(Sorry don't know how to get the whole yt video in here)

As soon as I saw it, I thought "Sterkfontein Caves!"

You know how sometimes you hear a song and just can't get it out of your head?!

Here's one by Ian Brown, the ex lead man of the Stone Roses. I just love the funky easy-goingness of the energy...

It's a great video indeed

It would seem like a change of gear for Nahko - speaking louder, more extreme.

I'd say it's entirely necessary - too many people sitting back, not really stepping up to the plate.

I wonder what will it take?

Here's an oldie, but timeless...

Loving this one right now

What a beautiful song - deeply touching - thanks for sharing. I can see it featuring in the Openhand gatherings.

Thankyou

This is in ancient Aramaic . A hymn sing in Syrian orthodox churches . With Indian beats 

Hi AproHeidi and everyone who'd like to embed video in commentary. Here's how you do it...

Have you come across Mumford and Sons yet? These guys are totally awesome...

We just love Trevor Hall here at Openhand - what a heart-warming soul! Here's his latest "moon/sun"...

I just love this guy...

I feel this song is also about riding the flow, peeling off layers of identification...finding soul gold...Written with so much wisdom...Peter Murphy at his best...

You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out

It spits you out
When you desire
To conquer it
To feel you're higher

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean

Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place

On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
We'll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind

You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you high

You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold

First off, Thank you Charlie, great video!  It is so great to see and hear so many differing genres and ideas on this site!  The sharing inspires me to branch out to new avenues of investigation spiritually and musically :)

I am posting this video for a couple of reasons.  First, the sharing that everyone has been doing to support one another is so beautiful and it reminded me of this song.  It is my way of saying "as brothers [and sisters] we will stand and hold your hand...you are not alone in this."

Second, because I sang this song to my son (when he was in my belly and I did not know who, or what gender, he would be in this world, but I wanted him to have a knowing of the love and support he would always receive from me).  I was the stage manager for a play last year and a gentlemen sang this as his audition piece and sang the last line so mournfully that it made me, for the first time, feel a sadness (negative thought) about the song.  Prior to his signing it I saw the last line "I cannot move the mountains for you" as a statement of "you have your journey and I cannot interfere"...I wanted my son to be supported, yet have his own beautiful life (which is how I raise him now).  After the auditions were over I asked him if he would mind my asking what the song meant to him (I always find it beautiful when a song is interpreted differently with each person and their experience, and even the same person with new experience).  He told me of his brother whom had died of a drug overdoes and he felt such a profound sadness that he was unable to "move the mountains" to save him.  It was then that I knew why the Universe connected us.  I told him, as gently as possible, you supported him and loved him (and you still do), but it was not your mountain to move.  We talked for a couple of hours after that and we are very good friends now.  I have had so many people give me support in the way that the Universe gave him support through me and I just wanted to share this beautiful song to remind us all that we move our own mountains, but with the loving support of those around us...I am holding all of your hands in love and light!

I've been taking some down time and feeling a strong connection to trees.
Came across this deeply moving song by Trevor Hall - take a moment, and join me there...
