I've been having an obsessive search on YouTube for music, which -- while not as spiritual as what you posted -- has sounded quite lovely to my nostalgic ears. Here are four links, two to a band from NEAR your neck of the woods -- that is, they're Kiwis, but that's closer to you than to me, eh?
The Lorelei was a Rhine maiden, like a siren:

And the Kiwis...

Listen to the lyrics -- I find them rather profound. Maybe because I'm watching the wrinkles grow deeper and noticing varicose veins...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCCnYfV_e-I&feature=related
This one I just somehow like. I think it's the "answer to a prayer, time after time, year after year" part... Or maybe just the lyrics, again...Sigi, I'm very sorry if you are annoyed at having the sublime reduced to the mundane. I guess I just had an impulse to share with everyone...
