The theme for Old School Friday this week is songs that inspire.
I was lucky to have seen this musician/artist a couple of times when I lived in NY. What if God Were One of Us is probably her best known song, though she doesn’t tend to do much pop. Though I loved the guitar rift in that song, and find it inspiring in it’s own because it never was about God, but about people and our collective consciousness, the song below is more inspirational to me for the way it is performed here.
Enjoy.
Joan Osborne, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted, from the soundtrack for the Funk Brothers’ movie “Standing in the Shadows of Motown” .
A nice but unembeddable HD version is here.
