RE: Your favorite song/music - everyone wins SBI + SNAX tokens, and 10 STEEM to the 1st!
My Sweet Lord, by George Harrison.
I have always been attracted to spirituality, as George was, which always made him my favorite Beatle. I'm an atheist, but I have studied many religions and studied under a few zen masters in Japan. All this led me to my love of haiku and my haiku translations (which I really need to start posting on here again one of these days).
Anyway, when I discovered this song by George I was blown away. Such passion from him, such yearning to find the answer to who or what is behind all this. The song speaks to me on a number of different levels.
It's a very nice song. I hope to see those haikus soon.
George was also my favorite Beatle, I'm an atheist too, attracted by spirituality too, and I can say that I really like haiku, otherwise I wouldn't have done 34 editions of a haiku contest called Mizu No Oto (I hope you will participate soon).
I remember my mom telling me that the Beatles were considered as "Devil's" music by her mother. It didn't stop her from listening though. lol
I've never been a big fan of the Beatles. I missed that time appearently. Not all works speak to us the same. 8-) Maybe my next life...
I think that it is interesting that you can connect with the song being an atheist. I'm not an atheist nor a white god loving person. I've come to think that "The ALL is mind; the UNIVERSE is mental." The ALL is all-encompassing and surpasses most people's limited definition of what or who God is or isn't. Very few people who sing about God in their works have grabbed my attention.
