4 minutes shorter would be just perfect. It's not bad though.

Oh my glob this song again. 
I’m all down for repetitive mantra type songs and his voice is soothing I’ll admit that, but especially with the choir in the background, this song is just flashback city to being stuck in church when the congregation is way too into their shallow boring unoriginal praise song and won’t stop singing the same dang line over and over and over and over and over. 
So absolutely triggering for me.

Some people need only a little chanting, some people a little more, some people none at all

Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like. In addition to Foreigner, this song reminds of this other song:

I Want to Know You

No matter what race, religion, Foreigner song, or universe we come from.. We all need to know what love is.

There is quiet power in chanting, whether Gregorian or sanscrit.  Nice to find it here at 4:30 AM.

I instantly 'felt' this.  Maybe because his voice sounds like my late Father's whom I haven't heard since I was 7..so nice

thanks for the musical taste of DJ, this is one of the best tracks to perform this concept without losing the music itself.

My small effort of googling the sanskrit words to make a translation yielded:

"Beautiful embodied (born, corporeal) woman ... something something .... forlorn."

Well, it's indian mantra style music. The monotony is kind of like the whole point of it... but you're free of course to like or dislike it.

Surprisingly not-annoying. Solid 8 on my little judgement scale.

Weird little guilty pleasure song. I wouldn't even try to tell someone "Listen to this!", but it makes me sit back and smile while listening on headphones. :-)

Kind of my point.  Jesus Culture is closer to being Hare Krishna than to being Christian.

Translating the Sanskrit offers a rather different take on the lyrics:

"I will not be able to do the same."

After experiencing Krishna Das' Kirtan performance, I have a greater appreciation for this. Embarrassed to say I gave it a 3 to begin with. Up to an 8 now.

At least there's no one saying it's a rip-off of a Pink Floyd song.

I really liked it, until it broke out in another band's sincere and passionate but by now somewhat overused song. Maybe one artist should not so blatantly sample/cover/steal other tracks.

Have you ever just lost yourself for a moment while gazing at a Sunset, (or anything else)?
That is meditation.

Chanting is, well, chanting. It helps some people, but not everyone. Not me, for instance.

I think meditation is the purest gift you can give yourself.

It kind of sneaks up on you.  It's only about halfway through that you realize—SPOILER ALERT!—it's a Foreigner cover.
Posted 7 years ago by Baby_M    [ Reply ]
At some point I looked up from what I was doing, frowned at the speaker, and came to the page just to give this a two. Then I listened awhile longer and said "Well, I guess they won me over" and changed it to a 7. Still broadening those horizons. :-)

First !

Now that I have staked my claim,
this is an interesting bunch of FOREIGNERs.
Sounds like when we sing in my church,
but definitely different.
I wonder if I could get away with having
these English lyrics sung in my church.
I think my name would have to be Bart Simpson. {#Wink}
