thinking this morning about what i was going to post today, i realized i’d skipped “music monday” for a short, non-substantive post.

so, i’m going to do that today, belatedly….

as i do on a regular basis, i was (re)watching west wing last night. it was the opener to season five in which the president has invoked the 25th amendment elevating the republican speaker of the house to president because bartlett’s youngest daughter, zoe, had been kidnapped.

the sequence toward the end of the episode is, to me, a powerful one, mostly because of the music playing over the scenes.

the singer, lisa gerrard, has a fabulous voice, which you might know from the music group dead can dance.

and, as i do, i’ve been listening to it on repeat all morning.
