Harry Styles' Sign of the Times may remind us to accept lessons of karma, let go of our old life, and break through to a new state of being.
Harry Styles: Sign of the Times
Leonard Cohen: Ballad of the Absent Mare
Cohen's Ballad of the Absent Mare is the most spiritual rock and pop song I have encountered because it describes the full path rather than certain aspects.
Jethro Tull: Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day
Jethro Tull's Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day can be read as a description of how a seeker leaves his old life behind and overcomes karma.
Bob Dylan: Saving Grace
Dylan's song about death and grace may hint at a maturing spirit-soul that leads to a renewed state of being.
Ralph McTell: The Ferryman
With his song The Ferryman, Ralph McTell made a memorial to Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha and its timeless Hindu and Buddhist wisdom.
Scarborough Fair (Simon & Garfunkel / Traditional)
What sounds like a tragic love affair, can be seen as instructions on how to purify one's soul to regain the majestic soul-garment.
Bob Dylan: All Along the Watchtower
It is a crucial moment for a seeker to realize: Nothing in this world can satisfy my deepest longing. I have reached the border - time to embark on a new path.
Leonard Cohen: Going Home
This song may be regarded as presumptuous: God talking directly to Leonard Cohen. We can also read a very humble attitude from the lyrics.
Surrender your Ego: Queen, Innuendo
![Compilation of the four members of Queen [Brian May (2008), Freddie Mercury (1977), John Deacon (1979), Roger Taylor (2005)]](https://i0.wp.com/spirit-rockmusic.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Queen.png?resize=525%2C525&ssl=1)
Queen's Innuendo describes the fallen state of man and expresses a longing to overcome this state and the ego. The perspective on time may be a key to freedom.
Estas Tonne: Who am I?
Who am I, Estas Tonne's interpretation of a Peter Moore poem, reveals layers of self-knowledge and encourages the listener to live an active spiritual life.
