In reply to the discussion: what sad songs get you through? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)25. Thank you. If you have never heard this song by Loreena McKinnett
I think you will it find comforting at this time. It is one of the most beautiful songs written, I believe, after her fiancee was killed in a boating accident. The monks chorus in the beginning which opens up to the beautiful piano and of course her voice, is simply magnificent. I had it played for my fiancee when he too was killed, in a motor cycle accident. People at the service said it gave them goose bumps.
It is called 'Dante's Prayer'. I hope you like it.
