The most traditional song I know.

 https://youtu.be/WZvU8FWBuTo

Red Bird by The Gathering: Laurelyn Dossett (Polecat Creek) & Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops).

The clip is 2 songs in order.  I skipped to the 2nd but the 1st deserves it's own listen.

I really enjoyed listening to this, very relaxing.

It's nice that you noticed. Thank you. I've been busy with work and family and hurricanes.

I occasionally drive by here and check out the fine points and deep history discussions. I'm not sure they're my bag tho. The truth is, I've never been very good at mining happiness from deep doctrine. I think it's like how I can't fly kites. Lots of people do but after so many decades I accept I'm not one of them. Which is fine.

That isn't to say I don't find the Gospel interesting, I do. It's just different bits that what most members like, I think.

Do you have any thoughts about why it might be slowing down?

Yeah. People don't post here so aften anymore. And that's sad. There where people on here that i saw so aften (you to) posting their stuff daily. And now i see those same people ones in the month. Or i don't see them at all anymore. I gotta admit that i was also a half year of this website myself. But that was because i was homeless for 3 months. And after that i was in hospital.

Yeah. People don't post here so often anymore.

This is a great answer.

Frak. I'm sorry to hear that. Having done the homeless thing, I can appreciate the stressors (and changes) that come with it. Assuming the hospital stay followed right after, I hope it at least felt like a step up. I also hope you weren't unhoused in a cold/wet season.

It was the begin of the fall. And it happend to rain a lot there. It was dreadful. No, but the hospital stay was even more dreadful. On that moment i felt trapped there wished i was in every hospital except that one i was in, in Portugal. It felt like a prison. The way they treated me. First i was on the IC and after that i went right away to the psychic ward. The psychic ward was absolutely against my will. But like i said....i had nothing to say about the matter. There was police and camera's everywhere in that hospital. There was no escaping from it. I tried it though. But the mission failt. And i was picked up by a nurse. Who just cauld run faster then me. I was just to weak because of all the medicine they gave me (super strong anti psychotics) at that time i didn't even knew that i was on them, because they never communicated to me wich kind of medication i was taking. But anyway...the fact that i made an attempt to run away made those nurses only a lot more angry. First thing they did was tie me to the bed. And stick a needle in my behind so that they could pomp me full with some sort of anesthesia. 

All realy traumatic. And the worst was yet to come.

I heard this song today and I would buy an album produced by whoever the guy is who wrote this song.

This is a favorite hymn among the German-speaking LDS. An English version is not in our hymnals, and probably won't find its way into the new upcoming hymnbook, either. This is probably because it is a Marian hymn, a devotion to the Virgin Mary. Of course we LDS revere her as well, but not as an object of religious devotion. Here's an English version of the hymn:

Thomas Newman, "Any Other Name." It was composed for the film "American Beauty," which I've never seen. But I love this contemplative and relaxing piece of music.

Me, too. It just seems a bit ... something. Not sure what.

The women are holding too still for me, as if they are static in some of the shots.

 Head shots weren’t naturally inserted, showing them making a smile directly into the camera was very awkward, forced.  They also inserted the headshots out of rhythm, bad timing on some of them.  

Maybe should have faded in and out as the individual shots felt okay on their own, but disconnected even if similar in appearance.  Transition was so abrupt.

There were also some minor balance issues with the photography, gaps where there shouldn’t have been.  It was almost right, but not quite.  A decent photographer, but not a great one.  

I don’t know enough about editing, it felt amateurish.

But the headshots were really off imo.  They threw off everything else, made it feel hurried, odd balance.

Some of the clothing choices were definitely an issue for me.  They reminded me of the polygamist group who I encountered up in Calgary from time to time.  I think the clothing of some combined with how they were standing read cult vibe.
