This is one of the most beautiful and haunting 1:51 seconds of music ever recorded..I have always loved Marion Williams and her a cappela version is just as amazing.
"A charge to keep I have", Charles Wesley, 1762...the most haunting song/ arrangement /performance I have ever heard... A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify, A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. never dying soul
This is one of the most beautiful and haunting 1:51 seconds of music ever recorded..I have always loved Marion Williams and her a cappela version is just as amazing. It is mislabeled...it is the spiritual "A charge to keep I have"...too bad it isn't the whole song.
@MissLiMaBo What saddened me even more was how long the treatment of African Americans went on in the south. My mother's side of the family is from Tennessee and fortunately were educated enough to know that being racist is ignorant. I felt George was a remarkable character in the film as is Sipsey. I honestly admired there devotion to Ruth, Idgie and Buddy.
@zombieumbrella You think this went on only in the south? It went on all over the country. Jim Crow was north, south,east and west. The schools in Detroit weren't integrated until the 1960's. There were a lot more Ruth's and Idgy's than there were KKK's in the south. I grew up during the civil rights movement and I was shocked to find out that this stuff was going on everywhere. You only heard about the south. I find it sad that this treatment went on ANYWHERE.
@EmpressOfWyoming58 I am well aware of this.I was just merely stating that I can relate to this so well because my mother's family is from the south and it still goes on to this day. I have an 83 y/o grandfather (my mother's father) and he still refers to African Americans as "colored".
@zombieumbrella I'm southern. I live up north. Older folks here don't say something as polite as colored, they use the N word. Just a bit of education for all. Southerners have no market cornered on the ugliness of racism. Fannie Flagg is an inlaw of mine. She grew up in Birmingham. If you'll notice, most of the people in the movie are not prejudiced. That's because in reality, that's how it was & is. Ugly people are loud: they get attention. Thankfully there are less of them than us. Peace.
beautiful song & movie ❤
Thomas newman can really create some beautiful music. One of my favourites!
Thomas Newman has so many masterpieces going throughout such moving cinema. He's definitely underrated.
Goosebumps to this track every time ♥️ I’ve legit searched YEARS for this track. Thank you so much!
This music will always haunt my daydreams.
It leaves you wanting more...

A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
never dying soul

J'adore ce film...et comme je travaille souvent en écoutant de la musique, cette bande-son m'accompagne ;-)
So nostalgic....
Incrível mesmo. Tava revendo o filme e não resisti e vim para trilha sonora.
This is so lovely 😍
Mon film préféré
