All About Soul

There is a strange duality to my spirituality.  On the one hand, I embrace a loving God.  On the other, I am turned off by many religious practices that support that same deity.  This time of year, I am continuously reminded that "Jesus is the reason for the season."  But Jesus was himself anti-religion.  In the spirit of this duality, I present my December playlist.
  1. "Soul Cake"- Sting
  2. "Dig a Little Deeper"- Jenifer Lewis
  3. "One Hundred Years from Now"- Dennis DeYoung
  4. "Healing Begins"- Tenth Avenue North
  5. "God Only Knows"- Beach Boys
  6. "Carol of the Bells"- The Bird and the Bee
  7. "Heaven and Earth"- Blitzen Trapper
  8. "Faithfully"- Journey
  9. "Here I Confess"- Sleepthief
  10. "Ave Maria"- eastmountainsouth
  11. "Just for Now"- Imogen Heap
  12. "All I Ever Get for Christmas is Blue"- Over the Rhine
  13. "Gospel"- The National
  14. "Winter Love"- Robyn Hitchcock
  15. "Losing My Religion"- R.E.M.
  16. "Apocalypse Please"- Muse
  17. "Redemption Song"- Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros
  18. "Damned if I Do"- Jace Everett
  19. "Eden Was a Garden"- Roman Candle

    Kim,
    Thanks for sharing another excellent play list. You truly have a talent of putting music to moments and to life in general.
    It isn't about religion....Christ is about relationships and doing this life together, helping and loving each other along. Human beings have messed it up by being religious and not being real. Jesus is real and He has nail scarred hands reaching out to each of us in love asking to be THE love of our lives and cover a debt we could never re-pay on our own. He did that for us so we could be FREE.
    Love you much my friend. I miss you.
    Lisa

    like your blog! I work with Peter Bradley Adams and Kat Maslich-Bode, formerly eastmountainsouth. To thank you for being a fan, they're offering you a free song from each artist. Peter's Christmas song is "Snow Will Fall Tonight" and Kat's song "March" is off her brand new CD "The Road of 6". Both beautiful. Enjoy. Just visit us at www.misharmusic.com to get them. If you like, please care to share.
    Have a blessed Holiday season.
