Soul Music

Imagine pulling your car off of a busy freeway, not due to mechanical problems, but because you were crying uncontrollably at a song on a CD!

Now, imagine being me, a psychic medium, who’s also explored his past life experiences. Understand, it wasn’t just the tune, there was a spiritual impact as well to this never-before event that happened to yours truly while en route to Santa Barbara last week.

I’d heard the song, A Thousand Years, which was used in a Twilight film, performed on the radio by its vocalist/writer, Christina Perri. But, it wasn’t until singer John Barrowman’s new CD began playing his cover of the same ballad in my car last week, that I had an emotional connection. Barrowman’s commanding voice (he’s a popular London West End stage star) and the version’s sweeping arrangement struck a chord with me.

Then, the floodgates opened and I couldn’t stop crying. I wasn’t sad; I was having a cathartic purge from deep within. With each word of the lyric (see below), I sensed my soulmate was sending me messages. Yes, another soul, possibly from even a prior life, was reaching out to my soul with this musical communication. With one hand on the steering wheel, the other rummaged through the glove compartment for Kleenex. Eventually, I pulled over, as the weepy deluge continued to splatter down onto my Lacoste shirt, the alligator practically in a pond of tears.

Wondering if it was a one-time fluke, I listened to A Thousand Years four more times while roadside. Each play was just as powerful as the first, as soul-to-soul bonding is a dynamic force. I’ve since meditated for additional insights relative to the experience, as I expect more will be revealed at the right time.

Meanwhile, from now on, I’ll probably listen to the song only in my living room.

Love and light,

Tony

A Thousand Years

by Christina Perri

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
