Finding God In The Music | 2023: Seven Psalms: The Lord

September 3, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

Seven Psalms: The Lord Paul Simon I've been thinking about the great migration Noon and night they leave the flock And I imagine their destination Meadow grass, jagged rock The Lord is my engineer The Lord is the earth I ride on The Lord is the face in the atmosphere The path I slip and I slide on A crystal comet Starlit night Silver moon To smooth the edge of daylight Now turned the evening rose Tribal voices Old and young Celebrations A history of families sung The endless river flows The Lord is my engineer The Lord is the earth I ride on The Lord is the face in the atmosphere The path I slip and I slide on The Lord is a virgin forest The Lord is a forest ranger The Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poor A welcome door to the stranger

Lux Æterna Metallica Anticipation In domination A sea of hearts beat as one, unified Magnification All generations Approaching thunder awaiting the light Full speed or nothing Full speed or nothing Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Exhilaration Frenzied sensation Kindred alliance connected inside Commiseration Sonic salvation Cast out the demons that strangle your life Full speed or nothing Full speed or nothing Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Emancipation Kill isolation Never alone for the feelings alike Amplification Lightning the nation Never alive more than right here tonight Full speed or nothing Full speed or nothing Lux Æterna Lux Æterna Light it

Finding God In The Music | 2023: Monsters

August 20, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

Monsters Dave Matthews Band Broke old toy soldiers lined up one, two, three Little kid and everything I did just to save my paper queen 'Cause love won't let me go Yeah, no army's gonna save my soul 'Cause love won't let me go Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath the bed Just the monsters in your head I hear strange voices at every step I take No, you can't cross the ocean if you can't get past the break Even if fear don't put you down Won't you lean on me while I'm around Oh, no rope to hang the dead No line to save the drowning man Just the monsters in your head Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath the bed Just the monsters in your head See killer's eyes and painted faces The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves Traffic jam is an angry maze The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves Chutes and ladders, pick-up sticks Counting cars and counting bricks Driving past the ol' five-and-dime Can't get nothin' for a nickel since a long, long time I won't let you down Nothing in the closet Nothing underneath your bed Just the monsters in your head No rope to hang the dead No line to save the drowning man Just the monsters in your head Love won't let you go Love won't let you go

Rescued Foo Fighters It came in a flash It came out of nowhere It happened so fast And then it was over Are you thinking, what I'm thinking? Is this happening now? Are you feeling, what I'm feeling? This is happening now We're all free to some degree to dance under the lights I'm just waiting to be rescued, bring me back to life Kings and queens and in-betweens, we all deserve the right I'm just waiting to be rescued I'm just waiting to be rescued We're all just waiting to be rescued tonight I fell in a trap My heart's getting colder It's coming on fast It's over my shoulder Are you thinking, what I'm thinking? Is this happening now? Are you feeling, what I'm feeling? This is happening now We're all free to some degree to dance under the lights I'm just waiting to be rescued, bring me back to life Kings and queens and in-betweens, we all deserve the right I'm just waiting to be rescued I'm just waiting to be rescued We're all just waiting to be rescued tonight To be rescued tonight Rescue me tonight Rescue me tonight We're all free to some degree to dance under the lights I'm just waiting to be rescued, bring me back to life Kings and queens and in-betweens, we all deserve the right I'm just waiting to be rescued I'm just waiting to be rescued We're all just waiting to be rescued tonight To be rescued tonight Rescue me tonight Rescue me tonight

Finding God In The Music | 2023: The Walk Home

August 6, 2023 • Brian Zahnd

The Walk Home Young the Giant Is anyone out there listening? I've lost myself Deep in the algorithm of someone else And under new conditions I might find that I was always perfectly alone Can somebody walk me home? To pearly gates The universe becomes a wave And crashes down Forever's not enough And under new conditions You are not alone Can somebody walk me home? Can somebody walk me home? Is anyone out there listening? I've lost myself But there is a sound that echoes like morning bells And as a distant memory shoots right through me I am left so perfectly alone Can somebody walk me home? To pearly gates The universe becomes a wave And crashes down Forever's not enough And under new conditions We are not alone And when I get better someday I'll see myself in you The way it's always been And under new conditions I might find that We will always walk each other home Can somebody walk me home? Can somebody walk me home? Can somebody walk me home? Can somebody walk me home?
