Two music recommendations come to mind as free societies reel from the violent acts of radicals. The first is titled “Holy Mother” sung by Clapton and Pavarotti. The lyrics are printed below.
Lyrics by Eric Clapton
Holy mother, where are you?
Tonight I feel broken in two
I’ve seen the stars fall from the sky
Holy mother, can’t keep from crying
Oh I need your help this time
Get me through this lonely night
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again
Holy mother, hear my prayer
Somehow I know you’re still there
Send me please some peace of mind
Take away this pain
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait any longer
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait for you
Holy mother, hear my cry
I’ve cursed your name a thousand times
I’ve felt the anger running through my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
Oh I feel the end has come
No longer my legs will run
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight
When my hands no longer play
My voice is still, I fade away
Holy mother, then I’ll be
Lying in, safe within your arms
The second recommendation is one I suggested before – Beethoven’s “Emperor” or Piano Concerto #5. Listen to the Adagio Un Poco Mocco.
