Music and the spiritual path

Rumi says,
"Today, like every other day,

we wake up empty and frightened.
Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.
Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground."

Does everyone experience the desire to sing to the Source when their heart is breaking?
When I feel the confusion coming in, the Ussak Ayin lyrics come to mind:

When my Beloved is far away, my senses can still smell Her because I pull her close to my side.
Even if every person were a healer on this planet, only She can heal me.
Only She can make this one's journey shorter.

If you like Nightwish

If you like Nightwish and you like Phantom of the Opera this is not a bad rendition. This was before Tarja left. I believe this is her singing? I like the fact that her voice is not as high pitched as Sarah Brightman's. However, the London Cast is officially my favorite.

Speaking of which, no one is home! I can listen to musicals and country music!!
