Simply..."Magnificent."

I often receive "inspirational" posts from friends, among them music videos. As well-meant as they all are, they seldom appeal to me, among the reasons being, insipid lyrics, too far from my musical tastes, bad editing or ineptly-produced images, or just mushy feel-good words.
The URL below is one of the rare exceptions. Not only have I kept the video, I find myself wanting to hear & see it every day. The music & the images are powerful...sometimes tender, other times literally (a word I never confuse with figuratively) breathtaking.
The images are from the BBC, but--sorry--I didn't catch who wrote the lyrics or performs the piece. There is a tendency for the lyrics to be overly literal, matching the images, but never mind. Even if you're not Christian, the guitar work & choir are worth the listen (ear candy!), & the videos are a feast (eye candy! 
)
I hope you enjoy this! http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=9E22CFNU

Everyone I've shared it with is thrilled with it! I love the simplicity of the lyrics, & when that mama panda cuddles her baby, or that pod of great whales powers through the surf, I feel it from crown to toes! Whew! So glad you enjoyed it!

It was a natural to share. It was just so good I'd have burst if I hadn't let it out! LOL!
