I recently started a reread of Tolkien’s Silmarillion.  The first section, which recounts the creation of the world, is beautiful.  It involves the creation of all things through music.  Genesis 1 also speaks of the creation of the world, this time with the inspired image of creation through a spoken word from the Creator.  Then, in Genesis 2, we get an inspired picture of mankind created from dust and full of the breath of life which comes from God alone.  So when I heard U2’s “Breathe” again a few days ago, the listening experience was much richer than the last time.  Here’s the song as the band played it for Letterman back in 2009.
