Here is one about a 16 year old Baha'i who was martyred in Iran in 1983. If you watch carefully you will see that Buffy St. Marie who has always been a friend to the Baha'is makes a brief cameo.

I believe the greatest music ever written is a compilation of Christian sacred music, in many languages, traditions, etc. but this is especially seen in western classical music. Composers like Handel, Bach, and many others wrote to the glory of God some of the best (if not THE best) musical compositions ever. In my own Armenian heritage, the best music is considered to be the sharagans (hymns) written by Komidas, a priest. I believe that certain Sacred music is indeed inspired by God, but I would never push that belief onto anyone since I'm not certain of it.
Probably my favorite all time sacred music is Handel's Messiah. Every year I go to Carnegie Hall to see an amazing performance, using small orchestra with period instruments (and a choir that is a little bigger than it's supposed to be but I'm not complaining). It is truly inspired. We know the words are inspired because they are right out of God's Word, but I believe the music also is inspired. If you read the story of how Handel wrote it, he wrote it VERY quickly, and the quality of the work is so amazing that it seems that it was inspired by God.
Anyway, here is one of my favorite parts of it, "For unto us a child is born" - Enjoy!
A combination of singing, dancing and chanting.If you don't have music- what do you do instead? Chanting?

Ishq Allah Mabud Lillah = God is Love, Lover, Beloved.
This atmospheric black metal song helps me get into a mystic like mood. I have always liked black metal primarily for it's repetition and often times minimalistic sound. These qualities help your mind dip into a trance. This is also the reason I enjoy listening to many 80's songs, lol.
