Music on My Mind



Sela, "Via Dolorosa." I don't normally think of Dutch as a very singable language -- songs in Dutch usually sound like spitting contests. But I've always thought this song works well for the language. It helps that this version, which is not the one I've usually heard, has a softer woman's voice. The most famous version of this song is Sandi Patty's English/Spanish version, which is decent, but always seems a bit oversung to me.
