I have always regarded new age and celtic music as very uplifting.

I found George Winston very spiritually uplifting back in my spiritually uplifting days.

Haha! I had a Mormon friend in highschool who felt the same way! Bill, is that you? (I actually doubt it---but thanks for the memories, anyway).

No. Sorry.

I heard from my brother of a Mormon guy that was so into YES that he thought he detected Mormon doctrine in the lyrics. He was alleged to have asked the singer Jon Anderson in a backstage meet about this who then supposedly gave him some kind of "there is truth in all religions" sort of answer to brush him off.
People see and hear what they want to see and hear I guess. LOL

My wife and I both love Loreena McKennitt. She makes some very pretty music, thanks for posting that.

Perhaps this was Bill,? Lol! He too thought that Yes had Mormon doctrine in their lyrics, but if he ever went that far to substantiate it, I don't know.
