Some time ago, someone shared with me the wonderful music of Alanah Sabatini, specifically her reclaiming of hymn tunes by rewriting them with empowering and uplifting humanist words.

I actually only knew one or two of the tunes (she was obviously involved in a different church tradition), but the words are really excellent and the feelings she describes are very widespread.

I am a source of light and peace, It flows from my humanity…

… for example.

You can listen to the songs on YouTube, and she has released an EP on Bandcamp, Hymns Reclaimed: Songs for Former Church Kids.

I like the style of her music. And there’s a wonderful song at the end of the playlist called I LOVE MY CAT.

I had actually forgotten that I had posted about this before but it looks like there are more songs than the ones I listed in my previous post about this.
