Secular Sunday – Voice Teacher Reacts to Garth Brooks’ “Amazing Grace” at US Inauguration

It’s like Tim Minchin says, “Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy” (though in this case, I’d say “Amazing Grace” is of the few religious songs that totally transcends its genre into an all-time classic, no matter your atheistic leanings!) 😉

Garth was good but this is an even better example – Barack Obama’s rendition during a funeral service after the Charleston shootings.
