Hey,

I would like to share some spiritual music I listen to.
I call it spiritual music, because there is a message of truth/life inside it.
Bob Marley is maybe best exemple, he described his music as spiritual himself : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsfYAJ3dQyY

"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, not but ourselves can free our mind." Redemption Song
"There is a natural mystic blowing through the air, if you listen carefuly now you will hear." Natural Mystic

These are 2 good exemples, you can find truth and love in all his songs (Tree Little Birds, One Love, Could You Be Loved, war etc etc.)

Other "spiritual artists" :
The Beatles - I don't really listen to them but their music/lyrics is also obviously full of truth.

Pink Floyd (Coming Back to Life, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Echoes...)

Morcheeba

"Spot chasing shadows, just enjoy the ride." Enjoy The Ride...

Patrice

"The world is turning on and some things are just the way they are, they are." Clouds

"Who to trust if not you
In this world
There's no soul around
All my love is not enough
Don't need much
Just someone who loves me for me" Walking alone...

These are just few exemples I have in mind for now, there are more artists like those, I'll add more later.
Feel free to post the spiritual artists you know too, preferably with revelant song + quote.
Also feel free to discuss.
By the way there is a book that helps understand this (if it's not self-evident) : http://www.truthcontest.com/entries/the-present-universal-truth/ With a whole chapter interpreting The Beatles music (pages 59-68).
Please stay on topic (music).

Translation of Gebrechlichkeit I. from Burzum's Filosofem.

"Tears from the eyes so cold, tears from the eyes, in the grass so green.
As I lie here, the burden is being lifted once and for all, once and for all.
Beware of the light, it may take you away, to where no evil dwells.
It will take you away, for all eternity.
Night is so beautiful (we need her as much as we need Day)."

The lyrics are good, but I don't think much people can understand it while listening to this song (even german, or whatever language that is), so it isn't a very good exemple in my eyes.

You should grow a taste for death metal and check out Gojira. One of the most spiritual and socially conscious bands out there. Oroborous by them is bomb as hell

And the biggest classic example 'sides the beatles, that im surprised is not here, is Close to the Edge by Yes, which is a figurative storytelling of Siddhartas awakening

It's actually sung in english. You didn't ask for music that was easy to understand. In fact I think it's an even better example because of it's complications.

Varg is one spiritual dude.

I do not understand why Tool is not in here.

Make it so, captain.

Most people already don't understand the message when it's obvious, so make it complicated is not such a good idea in my opinion.
But need all genre of musics to speak to everyone.



I said it's just few exemples to start with, and I don't pretend to know everything
I'll listen to this and Close to the Edge, thanks for letting me know guys.

About metal, I personally prefer relaxing music so I'm not much into any kind of metal but I respect people who listen to it, and guess some artists produce truthful metal music.
One of the few metal songs I listen to is Phantom of the Opera (live after death) by Iron Maiden

Music can spread truth/love without any lyrics also, here is a good exemple :

Today I discovered what they call "Chill Out Music", it's really relaxing
Here is an exemple : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgk4cIELMHg&feature=related
