You have to put in the Youtube brackets by hand

(youtube)URL of Video(/youtube) use brackets [] []instead of the ()

also you only need to use the numbers after the = sign in the You tube video

for example for

Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuxgq7yzfrE you need only use (youtube)Cuxgq7yzfrE(/youtube)

Now when using the [] instead of () I get

We watched the movie "O Brother where art thou" last night. It took place in Mississippi in the 1930's and it had some beautiful music in it. From what I can gather, this is an old Slave song. This version is sung by the Gaithers. Too bad Vestal Goodman is no longer with us.

If you haven't seen it...There's a live concert version of the songs in that movie. It's called "Down From The Mountain" and was filmed at the Ryman Auditorium. Absolutely wonderful. And one of the last appearances by John Hartford before he died.

Lyrics to "Orphaned Land's" "Let the truce be known"
"As two kids who always spent
Their time and played with toy guns in their hands
There you stood in front of me
They taught me that you're my enemy

And when our eyes have met
We both set sails to death
With guns of grown up men
I fear it might be my last breath

Eye to eye
Our aim is blinded by the sun
Seeking higher ground
To a safe haven I now run

The night had fell on no man's land
This flute was heard from out there in the dark
I knew the words and joined in song
This nightly truce a miracle of hope

We raise our hands and walk
Upright to move towards each other
No guns, no death between
The enemies now turned to brothers

Together on this barren earth
I tell him of my son
No pawns or deadly toys
The morning comes, and we are done

We head to base and end the truce
That lasted through this war of liars
A vision of a better life
Where music drowns the toy gun's fire

Next night I see a shadow and
We both shoot in the name of god
As we fell down our eyes have met
Our friendship ends now in this turmoil of blood"

"Time" by Alan Parson's Project.
I don't think there's a song that could be more powerful and moving for the agnostic/atheist.

Hello all.

I don't think I've met anyone in the U.S. who even LIKES this song, never mind finding it spiritual. I'm was never even a fan of this kind of music, but this song has always held a special place for me. Also, the video is bizarre , so you kind of have to get past that.

Maybe it's just me...




PS - My 4-year-old daughter is obsessed with Frozen right now, and I must confess that I got a little choked up when I first heard that "Wanna Build a Snowman" song.

Hi Hyker! My daughter is obsessed with Frozen as well. For a while I was playing Anna's role with the song Do You Want to Build a Snowman? Now that my daughter (4yrs) knows the lyrics, she plays Anna singing one of side of the door and me on the other.

Here is one song that I find moving. It is 10,000 Miles by Mary Chapin Carpenter. The song was for the movie Fly Away Home.
