Psalm 2


It's 7:31 PM EDT on Tuesday and I have succeeded in reducing my YouTube playlist footprint to "Liked Videos" and "Watch Later." There are only two videos in "Watch Later," as you can see from the above screenshot. Now it is time to sink into Psalm 2 from Neumes and Tunes. I haven't enjoyed any music since listening to several versions of Psalm 1 on Sunday evening. Here is the description of the Neumes and Tunes channel:

Neumes & Tunes is dedicated to serving God through the beauty of sacred music in a way that’s meaningful and accessible to modern audiences.

We are told in the Psalms that “God is the king of all the earth” and to “sing ye wisely” (46:8). Here we are reminded that music is not only associated with pleasure, but morality as well — the sense of hearing as a sort of pathway to the soul. Wise men throughout the ages have taught that various rhythms and modes have the power to influence and shape the mind according to their distinctive character, for better or for worse. We wholeheartedly believe this and thus seek to promote the Church’s own sacred liturgical music, Gregorian chant, as a means of healing all that is broken within our culture.

To learn more, please visit our website and consider supporting our mission on Patreon. We believe that art is a human endeavor and do not use AI in any of our music compositions, or recordings.

It is all I can do to keep from subscribing to the channel, but I am determined to reach "YouTube Zero" this week. In fact, I think I will achieve my goal tonight by viewing the final video in my Watch Later playlist. It's "Mystery of the Harp and the Lost Music of the Bible" by Michael-David:


Alright, it's 9:20 PM and I am ready to get to bed. I've reached "YouTube Zero." That accomplishment and this evening's music session have given me much to reflect on.
