Twenty Songs towards Love and Liberation
I am a paid up member of the Church of the Gym.
When home, I go to church two or three times a week in the Totnes Pavilion (Devon, England).
It is harder lifting the weights up to heaven than lowering down to Earth.
I cycle on my bike with my MP3 player to church.
Here are 20 songs on my Most Played List. There is a link to the Youtube for each of the songs. Mostly, the link connects to the song on Youtube with the lyrics. I have added a line from the song or a very brief summary.
Many of the songs offer fine poetry and precious insights.
Enjoy!
(Remember to skip the ads that start so many of the songs).
