Favourite "religious" song?
November 7, 2010 at 1:23 am
Ok, so a question for the atheists out there. Do you have any songs that contain religious references (as in, they are a main part of the song) which you love to listen to anyway?

For an example, I absolutely love "In The Sun" by Joseph Arthur, which has the chorus of "May God's love be with you." repeated over and over.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Short, sweet and to the point. Anything longer I find vomit-inducing.

I've always loved the song "Halleluja". It has been done so many times (by so many people) I can't count, but this is probably my favorite rendition.

don't hate me for this, but I still love a Creed song. My Own Prison. It's probably just because I used to listen to it when I was... little?

There a probably others too, but that was the first one to come to mind merely because most of my friends at school would laugh at me for it.

Not so much 'religious' but heavily metaphysical.

An adaptation of Gloria (Vivaldi) RV 589 and a beautifully haunting, ethereal one at that. Et in terra pax (Chorus) is a profound piece of work...
