Music is so amazing!  Going totally old-school (since I am old!) one of the albums that has always spoken loudest to me is John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High.  The A side (as the old vinyl had it) touched me in many ways, but it was The Season Suite on the B side that touched me and moved me and still does. He wrote it with Mike Taylor & Dick Kniss and it goes through the seasons from upbeat summer to spring through fall, winter and “Late Winter, Early Spring when everyone goes to Mexico.”  I run and I don’t know if this is what is meant by a runner’s high, but time I did feel something I could call that was when these words were made manifest :

“Oh, I love the life around me – I feel a part of everything I see — And oh, I love the life within me — A part of everything is here in me.”

Another album that caught me was Kirsty MacColl’s  Titanic Days.  It was released when my partner & I were on the brink of splitting up and its themes were so timely they nearly broke my heart.

On a newer note, 10 Years album Autumn Effect speaks to me on so many levels of the suffering of humanity, the suffering of self, and I don’t know why, but hope as well.  They make me understand that we all suffer and yet we have the power to remove our suffering and the suffering of others.

But your question caught me off guard and so I am feeling a blank on entire albums at this point 🙂

I remember Janet Jackson’s Velvet Rope but it has been years since I heard it. The other albums, I’ve heard songs off most but not the entire album. It’s amazing how where you are in your life when you hear something can have such a profound effect! Music is the best way for heart to speak to heart, I think!

I used to talk music with my dad. His body lives 1600 miles away, but his mind is ‘away with the faeries’ as they say. This brings him close. Thank you!
