Audio: Share a song you could listen to all day on repeat.
I know, I am cheating and using the QotD to create my posts, but this is such a great song. I also really love Tavener's 'The Lamb', but you get this one instead. But now that I think of it, there are loads of songs worthy to be played all day long on repeat. Bach, Moby, Leonard Cohen, Palestrina, Lucinda Williams, etc.
Here is the English translation:
Alleluia. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Remember me O Lord, when you come into your kingdom.
Give rest O Lord to your handmaid, who has fallen asleep.
The choir of saints have found the well-spring of life, and door of paradise.
Life: a shadow and a dream.
Weeping at the grave creates the song:
Alleluia. Come, enjoy rewards and crowns I have prepared for you.
The quality of the video is pretty bad, so just close your eyes and listen. I had forgotten, until I did a YouTube search, that this piece was used for Princess Diana's funeral.
