I always have music with me and there are certain song writers who have the capacity to write lyrics that, whilst not necessarily spiritual, allow me to pause, think and focus. Whilst I could have picked Bono I have gone for Neil Finn (Crowded House) and Together Alone a haunting track with amazing backing vocals from a Maori choir. It speaks of a connection at different levels – earthly and human – and about being separated from those you care for but still together.
As you can tell the theme is very much about connections with those that we care for something that is sustained by the strength and presence of the Lord in our relationships.

Thanks Nick. A great song from a great album, must be in my top 10. I love the lyric "paying death no heed".
