The man that wrote Amazing Grace had to suffer before he wrote this song.
He was a slave trader ... when the Coast Guard caught up with him one time he ordered all of his slaves thrown overboard with their chains still on before the Coast Guard could catch up with him. This was back in the old ship sailing days.

His heart wrote this ... perhaps we have to suffer in order to understand.

Lyrics
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found.
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see

You left out four of the six verses.

That seems to be wrong to me as I have died in a dream and went to the void....but that was it and I'm still here.

I simply can't listen to that song anymore. I've heard it a million times from every bagpipe player both great and terrible warming up.

Thanks so much for posting the link that you did. It's fantastic. For my money, nothing beats the extraordinary ladies of Celtic Woman and their version of this song which was done somewhere around 2007 at Powerscourt House and Gardens, south of Dublin.

I have to disagree. Huge choirs lessen the impact of a song for me. It doesn't sound like they have any conviction - only volume.

It's okay, but then I'm biased. A friend and I played it for another friend's wedding back in 1977. Two guitars and two voices. I have a cassette recording, but I've never taken the time to put it on a CD. Not perfect. Not even beautiful. But more heartfelt than any professional recording I've ever heard.

I agree to a point. Ever since the first bagpipe recording in the early '70s everyone considers that to be the standard. That version was good, but it's so overused now as to be truly annoying.

You can disagree but musical tastes are subjective, without reason. If we all liked the same thing, the world would soon run out of chocolate ice cream.

Here's a seven (7) year old girl singing Amazing Grace ... you will not be disappointed:

Well It's all about the bagpipes

I note, with Mr Newton's allegedly throwing slaves overboard, that aboard Titanic, the band opted for "Nearer my God to Thee" as the passengers lowered themselves into the brine by all means possible as the hereafter loomed...instead of "Amazing Grace"!!?? The politically aware bandleader, Mr. Hartley, and his violin were found! Now that speaks volumes!

That's why I didn't contradict, only disagreed.

It's all good Steve. Music is such that most will find something they like in everything. That's why I called it subjective to one's particular tastes.

I prefer the orange sherbet myself.
