i listen to this when i'm in need of inspiration, solace, and direction. it has a way of calming me down and taking me out of my own perspective. it doesn't promise cheer but it does clarify, or set into new relation, one's problems in relation to something else... which could be religious as Foreman believes or it could just be spiritual. melodically the song suggests wallowing, but if you listen carefully it encourages otherwise :).
actually during the harder months last year i listened to this every day for comfort. music has a way of understanding and saying without saying with words, what people cannot. sometimes this alienates us but i wonder how bad it can be to be temporarily alienated and have space to just sit quietly for a little while.
anyway i've been listening to this tonight just because it motivates me to work! get through this period! because this is all so, so, easy really. :) tomorrow's goals: jap revision, outline of paper, and 5 pages.

i love this song : ) its apt cos its 5.41 and im only halfway thru my take home final (completely my own fault though) but this song is making me so happy! i was so curious as to what it was when i read your description, and the moment it started i jus melted into this tranquil puddle : ) i dont think it suggests wallowing at all ! its just very chill and soothing : )
did i give you this song?
