Beautiful And Inspiring, April 9, 2001
This is an outstanding album. Released in November 1997, it was a project Barbra had been working on for many many years. It is a touching collection of inspirational songs. Barbra has never sounded so beautiful. These songs were meant for Barbra to sing, or so she proves by singing them. Her angelic voice powerfully sings the songs, that all have beautiful messages.1. I Believe/You'll Never Walk Alone A great song to kick off the cd. A touching song, very inspiring and uplifting for the soul. 2. Higher Ground This is the title track, a very powerful song that you will love. Its very uplifiting and honest, in a belief about a higher power. 3. At The Same Time This is a beautiful song that demonstrates how as people we are interconnected and are responsible for one another, and how we are all living together in the world, our hearts beating as one, at the same time. 4. Tell Him (With Celine Dion) This is a great duet, it was about time the two collaborated. A song about a younger, less experienced woman, asking for help with her relationship, then the wiser more experienced woman giving her advice. Beautiful song. 5. On Holy Ground A beautiful song that explains how we should celebrate and be thankful we are walking on Holy Ground. 6. If I Could This song was done for her son Jason, it is a very touching song. 7. Circle This song is simply how life is a circle, and the power of love and faith. 8. The Water Is Wide/Deep River Another inspiring song about faith, and the connection between deep water and crossing over. 9. Leading With Your Heart This is a beautiful song that Marvin Hamlisch and ALan & Marilyn Bergman wrote for Barbra, knowing how much she loved Virginia Kelley, titled after her autobiography by the same name. Very touching song. 10. Lessons To Be Learned This is a beautiful, touching, uplifting song that explains how in life there are no mistakes, but lessons to be learned. It explores questioning our faith, when things happen that we do not understand. 11. Everything Must Change This is a beautiful song about accepting change, as we grow older as people, and learning to embrace it and celebrate life. 12. Avinu Malkeinu A song in request to ask God to treat us equally and fairly, even if we haven't lived up to his teachings. This collection of music will soothe your soul, it will uplift your spirit, it will make you think about life, and why we are here, things like that. I am not a part of organized religion, but I do believe in higher powers and faith from within, and this collection of music will inspire you to believe in a beautiful life that is out there waiting for you. A must have collection.
