Because they start with a cry:

Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
We lift up our prayer against the odds
And fear the silence is the voice of God

Emmylou Harris - The Pearl


And despair:

What a beautiful piece of heartache
This has all turned out to be
Lord knows we've learned the hard way
All about healthy apathy

Over the Rhine - Latter Days


But they also carry perspective and hope:

Madison Cunningham - Little Things with Great Love
Josh Garrels - Farther Along


And sometimes they are nothing more than clinging to what I know is true - over and over until I believe it, until I hear it running through and cracking the foundations of the walls that my heart is manically trying to build and reinforce.

An English tramp - Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet - (arr. Gavin Bryars - see notes on video for details)

  1. FYI - I have no idea why the last one keeps starting half way through. I've tried everything I know to fix that, and it won't start at the beginning. that said, it's essentially a 20 minute loop so it's really the ideal piece to start in the middle. :D
