I like that song so much, and the line that says only the pope in Rome is calling God on the phone. LOL

I like that song, too

"Don't hate the other side when they're right" - - - I like it!

If anyone is on spotify and wants to check out my favorite songs, my Starred album on spotify is a pretty good start to my favorites list.(https://open.spotify.com/user/128264634/playlist/22eh5CthYaWhOHnrK01Q9N)

Nice list. I’m partial toward Kenny Rogers

I only gave Part 1 of my several lists - did you just peep in my other lists? LOL

"No angel born in hell can break that satan spell" - Don McClean the song's full of quotable lines.

From The Gambler: "There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done" and I'd like to quote this separately:

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run" . . . a real man's words, specially if you know that Murphy's Law quote, "A Smith & Wesson beats Four Aces" LOL

And, related to those lines, though not from a song is Dirty Harry telling his superior officer in Magnum Force, "A man must know his limitations."

Bob James and his composite group, "Four Play" made a very nice version of Amazing Grace included in their Christmas album. They also got guitarist Russ Freeman with them who also happen to have a equally beautiful Christmas album . . . and also David Benoit, Michael Franks, Diana Krall, Kenny G and don't forget the GRP Christmas Collection compiled by Dave Grusin.

Also try to give a listen to Driving Home For Christmas by Chris Rea and Paul MacCartney's Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time, a typical Sir Paul simply in a childish mood once again. And the one by the Glee group, Do You Want To Build A Snowman? with various voice talents.

Just An Old Fashioned Love Song was composed by that genius of a little guy Paul Williams, and, yes, I like the version of The Three Dog Night and also their version of Sunlight by Jesse Colin Young &The Youngbloods:

A much "clearer" version is by Dan Folgelberg:

and here's another 'sunlight" song by Michael Tomlinson:

That one's on my list too. I'm not sure which recording I like best, probably Jeff Buckley's or K.D. Lang's, but it's also fun to sing, religious themed or not.

no such thing as guilty feeling, Lilimum and GoodMan, if you love something or someone.

And, GoodMan, it's "but the very next day, you gave it away" I like the drums in that song, so simple but I can't catch the rhythm . . . no hope for a dumbnut like me!

that's a good christmas album by Pentatonix

Everbody should love Chrismas songs it's a special time of the year.

Me too! Everyone I know get's all uppity about Christmas music being over-played, but I can't help but love it. Especially Carol of the Bells. Beautiful piece imho.

I like Christmas music, too, some of it anyway. I love learning old traditional carols from around the world, and used to be in choirs that performed really cool holiday music like that. Hallelujah Chorus is also fun to sing in a large choir. My favorite holiday song, though, is "Stop the Cavalry", by Jona Lewie, closely followed by "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer", "Wash Our Socks for Christmas", "A Spaceman Came Down", and "Santa's Stuck Up In the Chimney".

SonnyMlaPH: I know. I added the “tore it apart”, because it reminds me of a break up I was going threw when I first heard it...Thanks anyway
Also: where I’m from we have what’s called “guilty pleasures”, so there is such as a thing.

TerryCarnley: They say "it's the time of the year when the world falls in love"

Jim314 : Russ Freeman and David Benoit have a nice version of Carol Of The Bells and also Russ Freeman 's God Bless You Merry Gentlemen.

“I really wanna know you”.. ???????? .George Harrison

I'm a Beatles fan. My Sweet Lord got entangled in some "copyright infringement" case or what they termed “subconscious plagiarism” but it is a nice song and I like it too. "I really wanna see you but it takes so long my Lord . . ." I wonder if God whispered to George, "you're seeing me right now, I'm everywhere and everything. Look in the mirror and you'll see Me there looking at you!"

Spirit In The Sky reminds me of Carly Simon's Life Is Eternal.

I find "2525" kinda amusing but it sure packs a wallop

Please excuse the question marks. I didn’t intend them.

Wow, what a list! I’m familiar with most, but not all. Comments on some that I like and own:

Overjoyed - love it (said I’d like that played at my wedding if I get married)

What’s going on - Timeless and still relevant

Tears in Heaven - one of the saddest, most reflective pop sings in recent history

Imagine: Favorite part: “you may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday...”

Heal the world: filled with hope and optimism

Losing my religion: great song, refer to my previous comments when you referenced it.

GoodMan: in "Losing My Rekigion" I think the guy is talking to God.

In "Bright Eyes" I think the guy's slowly turning atheist.

and, oh, just want to remind you that's Part 1 of several . . . LOL

@GoodMan: I stand corrected: "Bright Eyes" is about someone crossing over to the other side. It was explained to me by a friend only yesterday. His children sang it during their mom's funeral some years back. Here are some lines:

Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes

There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark

I'm a Filipino but I also happen to like "America The Beuatiful" and I like America.

I happen to like From The Beginning, "there might have been things I missed, but don't be unkind, it don't mean I'm blind . . . you see it's all clear, you were meant to be here from the beginning." aaaaaand their version of Peter Gunn, he-he!

You are not alone. Music is my religion, too, and I won't ever lose it.

I'll have to check that out ????????

I like different types and genres of music; ambient easy listening included.

"good, good, good vibrations" - The Beach Boys . . . I mean music, like the subliminals and sollffeggios, are what keeps me company while browsing through our Community.

I love Stevie Wonder, but I've never heard it. Is it Gospel or what genre?

Songs In The Key Of Life

I'll have to check them out. I'm not familiar. Thanks for sharing ????????

Please excuse the question marks. I didn't intend them

I used to call Cry For The Moon a kinda heavy "clenched fist" song though it's much more than that. Crying out for justice. You're kinda hopeless when you serenade the moon.

One of the main reasons why I got disillusioned is because church and gov't elders don't practice what they preach.

Certainly the spirit of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Sin City of the biblical lore, has risen thru the mass media

"Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter". . . "you're 12 years old sex is legal" - Stevie Wonder.

the Stevie Wonder song, btw, is "Used To Be" he sang with Charlene . . . "dignity and courage were the measure of a man."

"Superman was killed in Dallas" - that's JFK, fyi
