In a world too often divided, we are celebrating the songs that unite us, that bring us to a shared understanding, that give a sense of togetherness, and yes, even hope. Whether with a group on a desert pilgrimage or singing along in isolation in the midst of a pandemic, we explore the songs that, religion aside, give us a sense of communion.
