The Innocence Mission - Every Hour Here

[talamasca969]

Radiant song, brilliant album.

[RadioFreeSpike]

It was an odd bit of synchronicity, but this song led to a permanent connection with this band.

Even though I'm an atheist, my eyes still often blur up when I listen to this song.

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN atheist or not ,beauty is beauty...this is just a beautiful song by a beautiful voice...music is best appreciated objectively

[fatfrankblack]

oh right it's another fantastic song by The Innocence Mission. Why am I even surprised anymore? Are they from a genetically advanced race of super-beings?

[squish033]

I don't see anything religious about their music, even if they are themselves. It is uplifting and melancholy in a positive way. Karen's voice is unique and impeccable. Very inspiring in a non-religious way to me. She just makes it seem so effortless.

@squish033 Beautifully said squish.

[Katzenkaiser]

it's not alone a question of belief, or a question of spirituality, it's only in the words and in the tunes brought by this brilliant band...

[christianman73]

This song is so beautiful and poignant. The lyrics are pure poetry. To my mind, Catholics usually seem to make the best "Christian-informed" art. I'm not sure why, but songs by evangelical Protestants often just can't compare. Anyway, this CD is one of my all-time favorites, second only to "Glow" (in my opinion) in the IM pantheon. I wish that someone would reissue it! Oh well, I just ordered it used and am awaiting musical ecstasy! :-)

[polarissilvertree]

@christianman73, I don't agree with your generalization. But, I do agree that the Catholic church has a rich and glorious tradition in the arts -- which at one point was envied by all of civilization.

THERE TOO...

[Wrbhoover]

You are like the ticket half I find inside the pocket of my old leaf raking coat....I love that.
