Illusivewoman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 There's a Difference in being Religious and being Spiritual. Religion is a Specific way of Worshiping. Being Spiritual is being Open to all Ethereal Possibilities. The Words of Truth Resonate within the Soul when you Open your Heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakdaddy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Johnny Cash is always a great place to start. Even when his songs aren't about religion he sings with the authority of God. "When The Man Comes Around" is a nasty, little piece of apocalypse. "Religion 1 & 2" by PiL is the other side of the coin. Brutal song. My favorite song with religious overtones has to be Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris' cover of the Louvin Brothers "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night". Beautiful song. Wouldn't be surprised to hear Plant & Krauss do it at some point, it would be perfect for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 I experienced a musical rebirth this week. You see, I own this EP by 10,000 Maniacs containing a song called "Let the Mystery Be". I've always loved the song, but never really researched it or anything. Recently on XM radio I heard the original version by Iris Dement. Oh my, she is awesome. You can also hear her sing this on youtube. Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from. Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done. But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me. I think I'll just let the mystery be. Some say once you're gone you're gone forever, and some say you're gonna come back. Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour if in sinful ways you lack. Some say that they're comin' back in a garden, bunch of carrots and little sweet peas. I think I'll just let the mystery be. Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from. Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done. But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me. I think I'll just let the mystery be. Instrumental break. Some say they're goin' to a place called Glory and I ain't saying it ain't a fact. But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory and I don't like the sound of that. Well, I believe in love and I live my life accordingly. But I choose to let the mystery be. Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from. Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done. But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me. I think I'll just let the mystery be. I think I'll just let the mystery be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I love Iris Dement, she has a great turn in the movie Songcatcher. She also gets a ringing endorsement from John Prine in the liner notes to her first record, praise doesn't come much higher than that. Admittedly her voice can be an acquired for some but it's never been a problem for me. Also, if you're a fan of Natalie Merchant, her House Carpenter's Daughter album is absolutely wonderful, especially if you're a fan of songs in the style of Let the Mystery Be.
