Some Days Are Better Than Others. This Is One of Them.

by Frank Roche on November 24, 2007

Today’s a good day. For the first time in a long while things are back being right in the world. These three songs sum it up.

Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff

Redemption Song by Bob Marley

Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright

Funny, when I look at this set they’re all religious. Hmmm….this is just a 3-part YouTube essay. The sequence isn’t by happenstance.

Not surprising that they have a religious theme. I am convinced that all compassion comes from the religious or at least spiritual side of us. Rationale and intellectual is not the path to caring.

Glad the world is right for at least a day. Here’s to hoping that it lasts. Peace brother.
