While listening to Pandora this week, I started hearing songs from Chris Rice's "Living Room Sessions - Hymns" CD. Something about them just warmed my heart.
The simple piano, the familiarity of the tunes.... it restores my soul. With satisfaction I get lost in the art of supplying the lyrics to the instrumental hymns and meditating on their respective messages. Beautiful.
Listening to it now I find myself wishing I was curled up on the couch at home, with a cup of hot tea or coffee in my hand, that quilt Gramma made tucked around me, and a couple fragrant candles lit just for good measure. I could read away the morning in utter peace and contentment, and almost inevitably get a nap in there somewhere.
I have also discovered that Chris Rice also has a "Living Room Sessions - Christmas" CD. I think I will be wanting both for my personal music collection, but for the meantime I will happily continue listening to them on Grooveshark.
You should give them a listen too, but be prepared. You may find yourself wanting to sit down and relax the day away.Labels: songs/music
