There are some pieces of music that can truly bring a tear to the eye, but in a good way. A hymn that particularly stirs me is John Newton's "Amazing Grace", which has recently been enlivened by Rick Wakeman (of Yes fame), his daughter Jemma and the English Chamber Choir, for his DVD/CD compilation of the same name. Quite beautiful, and if you've a place in your heart for well-played piano as I do, all the more special, and Mr Wakeman more than obliges on that front.
Take a few deserved, quiet moments for yourself and enjoy this quite magnificent rendition...
About Me
- Jon
- I'm Jon, from Norwich, UK. I fill my time reading, thinking and sometimes writing about world affairs, watching and occasionally playing cricket, wishing Norwich City were a better football team than they are, travelling (and wishing I had more time and money to do even more of it), playing music far too loud, losing money at poker, flirting with the notion of eternal youth, and most recently starting up a blog. This one, in fact.

I also love this song. It is touching and very soothing.
