Amazing Grace

This song is simply the most influential song I think I’ve ever heard. I’ve heard it sung by so many different artists, including recordings I’ve done myself, but I never tire of hearing it. I’m a little tired right now as I’ve just finished a night shift, but I am struggling to hold back the tears just from listening to this song once again.

    This is a great version of the song…. Don’t know if you recognized the tune they sang it to… it was a song I believe from the 70′s

    “House of the Rising Sun”

    Hey Tim,

    You don’t miss much do ya? ;)

    It was the first thing I noticed too. I don’t mind at all because I love the chord sequence for that song anyway, but Blind Boys of Alabama are one of my favourite blues/gospel bands of all time too. Mixed in with a bit of Ry Cooder on slide accompaniment and I’ve goosebumps all over.

    But to me, above all it’s the words my brother, it’s the words!! How I relate to those words!

    God bless,

    John.

    Amen John,

    I like the chord patterns as well but Amazing Grace is what it is all about!

    I finally remembered to listen. :-) I have never heard of this group before. I really like the easy blues/spiritual sound. This tune is one of the first I learned on guitar – still like to let my fingers move around the chords.

    The song in it’s original tune was played to death at our school, way back -(too far back for my liking!) It has also been played at every funeral I have ever been to…I guess I kind of stopped listening to the words for a while.

    New tunes often allow you to re-listen to some songs, as this one did.

    Bless you for this bru. (South African for bro :-) )
