I just heard a song by Melissa Etheridge and Salman Ahmad that, in my opinion, is pretty uplifting. It is called "Ring the Bells of Peace". One can hear it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCsNrZzC78
These two singer/songwriters along w/ Deepak Chopra are asking people to ring a bell for peace on 12/21/2008 noontime. http://www.ringthebellsofpeace.com/

Yello - Domingo De Santa Clara

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvsHnbzW6vU

We are here
In this holy cave today
To celebrate
The reincarnation
Of Domingo de Santa Clara
The man who convinced us
That there is no Lord
For His name is Buddha, Allah, Shiva, Jahve
Outside our bodies
We are God
'Cause only we can create the idea
Of His existence in our Holy Brains

Let us pray to ourselves and our spirits!

We all know
Domingo of Santa Clara
Will be born today, tomorrow, and the day after
Billions of times
'Til the end of the Universe
Here with a smile on his face
As the rest of our species watches
The catastrophe

David Bowie-"Heroes-Live" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYjBQKIOb-w

[dayzero]

Well thank you both so much - what excellent selections, didn't know that Enya track [she's very good] and that live version of Heroes was blinding.

I just found this looking for another track, and although it's not his best music, the graphics just make it;

Vangelis / Cosmos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOf4SktPDak

[Dantheman62]

Try this, Tribute to Heroes, Wyclef Jean, Redemption Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3FZ5v_fhYc

[Dantheman62]

Or this, Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer, Tribute to Heroes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0bFpRG7_9c&feature=related

[dayzero]

I've never really liked Wyclef until I saw this - really excellent, and definately music of the light....Bob really does seem to have been a prophet.
Brings tears to the eyes. Beautiful.


the Bon Jovi, although a really very impressive version I must say, doesn't quite fit for me as music of the light....

Okay, my turn.....

[Mudança]

StarMan by David Bowie
Classic song, but if you're into 2012, UFOlogy etc check out the lyrics, made me laugh.

Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile

[dayzero]

Mudança you're totally right, I can't hear that song anymore without
laughing out loud. and singing along out loud too, obviously.

[dayzero]

Dantheman62 - I love Neil Young, great stuff - what is this american heroes
business? they're all some of the best performances I've seen from these artists...


-------------------------------

Clannad - theme from Harry's Game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t4gN_-nfQA

[Dantheman62]

Yeah all the performances are awesome!, It's called Tribute to Heroes and was made like the next day or two after 911, I think that Tom Hanks was one of the organizers. I think you can see the whole thing on Youtube! And if you notice, none of them will smile and all give from the heart in every performance.

[fossileyesed]

Here you go,fossileyesed, Wish you were here, different version but excellent! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ums_nkLY3hY&feature=related

Ten Years after- I'd Love to Change the World- 1971- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUokMbJC3P8&feature=related

[Dantheman62]

One from U2 great version where Bono puts his all into it! song called Bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHnXOSxka1Q&feature=related

Sorry dayzero I know that some of these don't qualify for music of the light, but they sure are awesome! LOL! Enjoy!

[Humble Janitor]

Try this, Tribute to Heroes, Wyclef Jean, Redemption Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3FZ5v_fhYc

I prefer the original more because I always end up singing along to it. It's one of the few songs I can actually decipher the lyrics to. Seems fitting too since it's a beautiful song.

[dayzero]

Hey Dan, that's okay - I was about to go into one about how Pink Floyd's 'the Wall was one of the most awful 'victim mentality' albums ever made [great sounds notwithstanding - unfortunately the film also gave the irritating Bob Geldof a new lease of life too]........anyway, and then I was going to post some of their much better earlier material...

Ah, look, I'm ahead of myself;

[dayzero]

Lovin the 10 yrs after....

And I remember watching live aid, Freddie Mercury stole the show imo!
[as usual]

But at least we have Bono, pre-Papal emissary, exhibiting that ,er, humility he used to be so good at......Live at Red Rocks is still arguably their best, but I'm showing my age now.

So just to prove I'm not just an old Hippie, here's something a tiny bit more recent;

The TSO lifts my spirits at this time of year. I find it very hard to be "awake" and keep up with the family's Christmas traditions etc.. This helps, enjoy! :thumb_yello:

[dayzero]

Hey Dan - you're sorta trashing my thread here.

I don't want 'music that you like' I want music of the light.

Capice?

[dayzero]

Like this;

Grandaddy - 'The Crystal Lake'
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysq_SYy1taA

[Dantheman62]

HaHa yeah I hear ya, I get on a roll sometimes and will do better next time, but Grandaddy?? I'll see what I can come up with. P.S. does it have to be mellow? hmmm maybe I'm not sure exactly what music of the light is, if it's orchestral or new age electronics then I can't help ya here. I try to pick only quality music from quality musicians that has meant something to me. It's the instruments and the voices that speak loudly to me and give me that "goose bump kinda feeling", plus I posted the last few to bump the thread back up.If it's good music that gives me that feel good feeling and maybe brings me back to a time and place that I remember then that is music of the light for me.

How about this then;

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting;
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IRHA9W-zExQ

[Dantheman62]

Enya- Only Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGinwDu0L8

Kate Bush is ok, love Donald Sutherland

[Dantheman62]

Mariah Carey- Hero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLC73DB7jE8&feature=related

I had to put her in here because she has or had one of the best voices to come along.

[dayzero]

Dan I had forgiven you, and now this.....

[Dantheman62]

OK what did I do now? Maybe I should let someone else add to the thread. doh!! By the way, I don't like Enya or Mariah Carey and wouldn't buy any of their music, I just thought it fit in "music of the light". Guess I'm done here. You and Antaletriangle can go back and forth for awhile.

[Antaletriangle]

Try to tell a knight in gold
he's to blame
A promise made, a dream will come,
it's all the same.
In this strange land
this strange land
Said within he had his heart,
I lie in part(??)
Death and danger is defied,
my lover in light
In this strange land
this strange land


Clannad Strange Land lyrics
