One of the most successful singles of all time, the combination of the lyrics and the original video of Wake Me Up may encourage us to follow our soul's voice.
Avicii: Wake Me Up
Bob Dylan: Changing of the Guards (Patti Smith)
A lyrical masterpiece supporting a variety of interpretations, we look at the song from the perspective of a fallen soul seeking the path of salvation.
Cat Stevens: The First Cut Is The Deepest (Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart)
This song may be catchy partly because it relates to a deep level of the soul: the initial separation from the field of unity. On the way back we may be confronted with wounds from the past.
Bob Dylan: Oh Sister
Oh Sister, like many Dylan songs, can be interpreted on various levels: a relationship of siblings, a love affair, possibly with biographical references? From a spiritual perspective, it may be the spirit aspect addressing the soul aspect in man.
Harry Styles: Sign of the Times
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.
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.
Birds of Paradise (Peter, Sue & Marc)
What might seem like a trivial, light popular song, can be read as a conversation between a seeker and her awakening spirit-soul.
