NEIL DIAMOND ~ CANTA LIBRE [HAN 1972]

This morning, after church in Fort Myers, I drove over to the beginning of the Sanibel Island Causeway, pulled in to the boat launching area just adjacent to the Causeway bridge and viewed the boats being launched, the calmness of the bay on one side and on the other side the choppy waters of the open Gulf of Mexico with the sun sparkling along the wave crests and wind whipped water. a beautiful sight for sure...

Before I exited my car to walk around, I was listening to a song on my USB library and was struck by the beauty of the song, its timber, resonance and its life flowing love for family... The song is Cante Libre and sung by a master, the truly amazing Neil Diamond... I bring that to you this Sunday and ask that you really listen to the song, some of it is in a foreign language, but parts of it are in English... Watch if you want, but it is not a video but a portfolio of images... Love is not mentioned, but if you listen to the words you can feel the emotion of love...and it melds with today's message by the Colonel...

I recommend you raise your song level higher than normal and if you are listening via an HD TV or computer system with a powered speaker system...increase the bass just a bit more than usual...

I hope you enjoy it...
Kerry

LYRICS:

CANTA LIBRE
NEIL DIAMOND

Canta libre, Canta vida, (Sing freely, sing of life)
De mi madre y mi padre (Of my mother and my father)
Canta mi corazon (My heart sings)
Para los niños y sus niños, canta libre (For the children and their children, sing freely)

And I got music running in my head,
Makes me feel like the young bird flying.
Across my mind and laying on my bed,
Keeps me away from the thought of dying.

Canta libre (Sing freely)
Canta vida (Sing of life)
De mi madre y mi padre (Of my mother and my father)

And I got music running in my brain,
Every song with it's own kind of meaning.
Cleanse my soul and wash away the pain,
Baptized by the song that you're singing.

Canta libre (Sing freely)
Canta vida (Sing of life)
Siempre conmigo (Always with me)
Canta libre (Sing freely)

Canta libre (Sing freely)
Para los niños y sus niños, canta libre (For the children and their children, sing freely)
De mi madre y mi padre (Of my mother and my father)
Canta libre, y siempre conmigo (Sing freely, and always with me)
Canta libre, canta libre (Sing freely, sing freely)
