Govinda Hare is my fave song of the moment. It's from the Krishna Das album "Pilgrim Heart." From the liner notes:

Govinda hare, Gopaala hare
He Prabhu deena dayaala hare

In India, God is worshiped in every imaginable way. "Prabhu" is a very sweet intimate way of saying "Lord." "Deena Dayaal" is the aspect of the one who has mercy and compassion on those who turn to Him without guile and hidden motive. In this song we sing to the great Friend, to the feeling of love that we have for our best friend. One who doesn't want anything from us other than to be happy and to be ourselves, to be who we are.

(Then he tells a story of a rollicking fun dream about his guru.)

The feeling of happiness, friendship and intimacy is still so real that I feel it as I write this. Govinda (Krishna) is the Great Friend of all and loves us with the kind of love that is impossible to find except in the heart of God. Of course, our hearts are also part of the heart of God and when we can love that way, without wanting, clinging or fearing, it is God loving God.

It has a very sweet melody, and sounds like friendship.I think of various people I love, and it applies everywhere that I allow myself to love that freely. It's especially poignant to read this passage and think of a particular person you love, and to listen to the song as a meditation.

You're welcome. I love the liner notes on that album because it translates everything.

Will give your suggestion a listen.

I like alot of Celtic stuff. Am a fan of Enya, but that's quite a differnet style.

All time favorite music: Almost anything by Rory Gallagher. I can't pick a favorite song, but I love (and have) every album he has put out while he was living.

i consistently love the music of yes.  all the radio friendly and all the orchestral pieces are celebrations of life.  they (or rather my interpretations of them) were and are for me the essence of integral theory.

i also love much of alanis morrissette, peter gabriel, joni mitchell, mahavishnu john mclaughlin, bjork, ani di franco, kate bush, many others.

My oldest daughter got me hooked on the powerful vocals of Flyleaf's singer Lacey Mosley.

FLYLEAF LYRICS

"Fully Alive"

Telling Layla's story spoken
'Bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
I don't believe in futures

All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
I don't believe in futures

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
I don't believe in futures

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
I don't believe in futures

(you can check out the video if you have Rhapsody….under Flyleaf)

There is so much music I love, I don't know even where to start.  For whatever reason, I'll start here:

The music of Toumani Diabate.  Wonderful...

May the boundless knowledge that time presents and space allows illuminate the native perspectives of your original face.

For soothing ambient music I can never get enough of Chuck Wild and his 'LIQUID MIND' series. Traveling, in airports, hotels, doing dishes, healing work, writing - whatever - this music is a slowly expanding variation of Aum-Amen-Om, the universal matrix sound.

http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Mind-VI-Spirit/dp/B00008BR0V

I'm also partial to Deuter, Popol Vuh, Tangerine Dream, and Anugama - four German composers of what later became known as kosmic music and influenced generations of rockers worldwide.

That is soothing, Mascha.  I've never heard of Chuck Wild before.  In that vein, though a little more intense, is the overtone chanting of David Hykes and his Harmonic Choir.  Transporting, thought-stilling music.
