"Imagine" isn't at all "anti" religion...it simply expresses the thought that to some people, it's just another thing/tool (like country and personal possessions) that can be used as the means to separate and divide humans from one another... Imagine Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one

Agree on Cat Stevens.
Another singer songwriter whose music has kind of a spiritual vibe is Melanie Safka. Ring the Living Bell. Candles in the Rain. There's a Chance Peace Will Come. Though when I think "non-denominational" I am thinking more along the lines of basic Protestant hym type songs. "Farther Along." "Oil in My Lamp." Etc. You know, stuff from the Gram Parsons/Roger McGuinn school of music. |

Here is one I am going to learn and put in my set list
It is "Forever Young " by Bob Dylan And this is my favorite acoustic cover version from Audra Mae and The Forest Rangers (used on series Sons Of Anarchy)

I am not religious at all but found "Make Me A Channel of Your Peace" to be very spiritual and inspiring. Then earlier this year I attended church for a friend's funeral and figured out that this is actually a hymn also known as "Prayer of St. Francis".

How about Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand"? Gorgeous song. Emmylou Harris does a stunning arrangement.

Happy to help. I am going to try to catch his next live show if he comes up north of Nashville.

You might check out some songs by Carrie Newcomer. She has some very uplifting and beautiful songs that could be considered spiritual songs and songs that feed the soul.
Best, Jayne |

I have always found k.d. Lang's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah to be spiritual. We were just out west last month hiking in Sedona and there was a guitarist who performed the cover fingerstyle outside in the garden and fire pit area of the hotel and the audience loved it.
Another popular song would be "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", Eva Cassidy and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole perform very moving covers
