Soundtracks of life
Tonight at my church meeting we talked about the Beatitude (this year's all about the Beatitudes), "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
It was a very powerful meeting, particularly the part where we all shared what we mourn. There was also comforting going on as well - people giving hugs, people thanking others for having given well-timed hugs, some laughter, and comforting words.
On the way home, I needed music - particularly those songs that let me mourn. It seemed a fitting ending to the evening. I also realized that music is a BIG comfort to me and a release of emotions.
What songs let you mourn or what songs comfort you when you mourn? Is music something that comforts you?
Here's what I listened to on the way home:
Evanescence - Bring Me to Life and My Immortal
Brandi Carlile - Turpentine, Tragedy, and Hallelujah
As for songs that comfort, I love to listen to "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" by Simon and Garfunkle.
