This is one of my favorites.
"Water Shows the Hidden Heart
Water shows the hidden heart
From the city of Constellations
to the wanderer
and a Place of Rains
he journeys on...
...The City of hesitation and doubt
the Island of the house the colour of the sea
the Plain of Mementoes
he journeys on to find his love...
...the Valley of lost time
the City of End and Endlessness
the Isle of Revenents
he journeys on...
...the City of Solitudes
the City of the distance from you
the City of Words of blue
and yellow and red and green
he journeys on to find his love...
...where the road takes him through
the City of Sleep
the thinking that does not end is within him
Then he dreams
the road takes him
this man who is searching
it brings him
in silence through the night
where the Cities that do not Exist, exist
It brings him
in silence through the night
close to the City of Realisations;
it is here one finds the way...
...Mount Orison
the City of Days
the Tree of the lost
he journeys on...
...north of his love
a road through a valley of darkness
the islands that are not of this world
he journeys on to find his love...
It is a long way through darkness
to the way of the eremite
the eremite sings of the world and of
the journey of love, which is not lost in eternity
...the Valley where the moon is caught in the trees
water shows the hidden heart
endlong into midnight
he journeys on...
...the parade of day
the Room of Books
where the winds come to him and say..."

My favorite "spiritual" artists are probably Native American/New Age musicians David & Steve Gordon, and Kirtan artists Jai Uttal and David Newman.
All good music is spiritual to me, though!

here are some songs by the artist who has had the most spiritual impact on my life
A Song that Crawls (some of the lyrics in the vid are wrong)
Fly on the Eye of the Lamb
"in the corner sits a whispering guitar I'm listening for, but I can only hear you cry
we sing this music from a dream in which we die before we wake
this song that we're singing just to die"
Waking Up Insane
the Hangman's Daughter
"naked we worship the night sky
no man can hold what the darkness can sow"
Blood Music
Otherworldly Dreamer
"dancing with a black dog
on papa satan's grand piano
all night long we dance the nuclear bomb
all the live long night
dreaming of the setting sun
praying for a plague of frogs
dancing with that black dog
dreaming of the setting sun
angel's mouth is where i sleep
against the bone of her spine I weep
the shade from 'neath that yonder window creep
all the live long night
a roman lion at the door
a pretty skull but such an angry whore
a roman lion at the door
and how the mouths they cry for more, more, more
all the live long night
against my heart i hear it softly speak
this seven headed otherworldly dream
Tomorrow We Jump
"it's only the end of the world again"
Endsmouth
Like the Dead Would Laugh
"you jump into the water, but the fire's inside"
Heart of Green
Tower of Song (leonard cohen cover)
Filling Empty Holes
"as the last wave rose, it was crashing like a stone upon my skull"
Ancient Man
Barefoot in the Dark
"rattlesnake shadowkiss crawling 'cross my heart
forever we are there barefoot in the dark
they're beating that drum in the cemetery
my death lays awake there whistling dixie
if this is hell then i'm lucky
my death's alive there just a' waitin for me"
Perfect Dreaming Skull
Wither
"we wither and blow where the smoke goes
closing my eyes to the sunlight that is withering tonight
one thing is certain, the rest is a lie
one thing is certain, life flies"
Theme
See you All in Hell or New Orleans
Skulls
--------------------
TheMushroomJesus said:
"Doesnt that actually make the most sense? These are intelligent beings that are capable of creating anything, including what you call 'science'. And the suicide cults are a sacrifice to these intelligent beings."
"If any of you knew about Applewhite you would know that he represented JESUS..as we all do. He believed he and all of us were jesus to the point he would kill himself to get the message out...while your here..typing away pointless thoughts on a website pretending to make a difference, when in reality, you will never come close to making as much of a difference as even Applewhite."

Someone posted this song in this forum a while back. Turned me on to Goa trance. Listen all the way through with headphones in the dark, just feel the music.

Yes, music is/like art, and open to interpretation.
What are the lyrics to this one?

Nice collection thebizzle.
I think this is the most powerful little track I've heard. Used to be totally absorbed by it and think of being in some overcast ghost town. These days I'm not as imaginative in that way. Got to fix that...
--------------------
Find me in the backyard, sailing my kettle. Playing poker with insects, wearing a cup of tea. A hat of brimstone, yellow-crimson, looking like a giant flea. Forever my friend: so my energy this day I lend, I practice faking it to pretend, and become the actor in the end. My folly hangs on the trees like leaves and drips in the falling breeze, the tock of a minute here shakes me to my knees.

This one gets me every time.
The lyrics may be hard to understand, so I've posted them here. (Also, it's a 20 minute song; the video above is only the first half.)
Just those chorus lyrics:
Slide into the Water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the Moon. 
Quote:
It's been a long night...away from it all
The grabbing authority of my peers...
The rusty cage that never seems to open...
When can I escape? When can I swim to the moon?
I've heard this expression my entire life...never realized how peaceful a statement really is.
All alone on the worlds waters...here I am.
The sun's slowly drifting past the edge of the world...(can't blame our ancestors)
I'm the loneliest boat on this entire body of water.
Rest will give my awakening purpose...this is why I have come here in the first place.
A peace I have never felt... a life I did not want to live.
I will awake through sleep...
The drifting drifter...look into the picture...
(The Foreshadowing)
No more panic, no more regret.
No more hoping for a new mess.
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea.
Life seems so much smaller.
Swim to the moon.
I awake with a cool breeze blowing through my dirty hair. Rested, stable... a first.
A caffeine junkie's longest wish: peace and quiet...
No wake-ups, no expectations... A strange feeling... suddenly drifting...
This "as seen on t.v." anchor is just another lie I guess...
hoping for something not there. Filling a void that I can't quite put my finger on.
This loneliness I always seek. I'm in the middle of black water.
No sign of human life in any direction... the most peaceful event of my life seems to have typically turned into a struggle.
I'm in the middle of black water... no sign of human life. Panic takes over my body.
I have indeed floated due to a non-reversible decision to flee.
Just for a day I told myself... my survival skills were lost years ago
Here I am: no food, no clean water, and this extremely embarrassing attempt at a "get away outfit".
This is an inevitable death.
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea.
Life seems so much smaller.
Swim to the moon.
Look into the picture...(worry leaves my body)
This is what I lived to be. This very moment is the first time in my life that I've felt pure joy.
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea.
Life seems so much smaller.
Swim to the moon.

Far and away the song 'Parabola' by Tool. 
(Also, make sure you watch the last minute of it. Hell, if you have to, just skip to the last minute of it while bearing in mind the lyrics below.)
Lyrics:
So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.
Alive, I
In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.
Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

 that's pretty much the image I get too. I'd recommend her album The Book of Secrets if you wanna check the rest of her music out.

Just as appropriate would've been Lateralus. SPIRAL OUT!
Quote:
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Sigur Ros + The Fountain for the win.
(Not actually my favorite spiritual song. We're not that close boys.)

Sigur Ros + some Angels
I'd put this in my top handful of songs to listen to while contemplating something deeply beautiful and inherently tragic.
