Selections From Favorite Songs

In my quest for fulfillment there have been a few songs assisting the trip. Though my dad often complains of it being a problem with our generation (kids never taking their headphones off, brain dead beap boppers...) I think music has always and will continue to be great companions. Imagine the Jews traveling around the desert. Would it be brow raising to hear them singing? I think not. Even the African slaves sped their time along with song!

That being said, here are some small selections that tend to stick in my head. Enjoy!

----+------+------+------+---+----+

"I'm so lonesome I could cry..." - Hank Williams Sr.
"Love, is a burning thing. And it makes...a fiery ring." - Johnny Cash

"You're a disgrace to the concept of family the priest won't
divulge the fact in his homily and I'll stand up and scream if
the mourning remain quiet, you can deck out lie in a suit but I won't buy it
I won't join in the procession that's speaking their
peace using five dollar words while praising his integrity,
just cause he's gone doesn't change the fact:
'he was a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death." -Death Cab For Cutie

"Lost in the cloud, a voice: Have no fear! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man! Turn your ear!
Lost in the cloud, a voice: Lamb of God! We draw near!
Lost in the cloud, a sign: Son of man! Son of God! " - Sufjan Stevens

"I need thee, Oh I need thee!
Every hour I need thee!"

"When he died then I died, then I died.
When he rose, then I rose." -Danielson

Great selections...
I commend you for the Johnny Cash quote... good stuff. I recognized quite a few of these - some of which have often encouraged and held me up as well.

Didn't even like Johnny Cash until I saw "Walk the Line." Jumping on a bandwagon I love him now!

I just saw Walk the Line a week ago... and have officially jumped on as well. ;) He's great, isn't he???

Rock on with the Folsom Prison Blues...

Oh, by the way, what is the name of the Sufjan Stevens song that you quote in this post??? I'd love to know... thanks!
