Songs for your enjoyment!

I am not very adventurous on YouTube. I tend to go back and listen to the same few tunes. I thought that I would share some of them with you.
I love this first tune (although not sure about the words!). My friend Neil Alton does a great version. Jeff Buckley, who is singing here, later tragically drowned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3-_DbEYe7A

Please don't say I watch the following for the pretty girls. I think this is great.

'Be still my soul' is one of my favourite hymns. When I mentioned to my mother that I wanted it at my funeral she told me that my dad did also. My parents served as medical missionaries in Biafra (a part of Nigeria that broke away from Nigeria in the 1960's, but lost its struggle for independence). Apparently their national anthem was to this tune (Finlandia, by Sibelius). The guy who sings this is a Mormon who has appeared of X-factor USA (I think). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAQOgzKgxXM

Finally, this is a really American version of 'When peace like a river attendeth my way'. I have taken this version because of the background that is given to the song at the beginning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYP--c2LTfg
