On the other hand...... I did not find this to be an epic folk anthem and thought the words were a bit pretentious and certainly not very lyrical; the melody and baseline are of course borrowed. the opinion in our house is that there are much better "folk anthems" out there. I wonder if this piece resonates with folks who have not been brought up in religious traditions and they are discovering these sentiments for the first time? If you enjoy this song you should check into Mormon and Shaker hymns... perhaps even budhist and hindu for that matter.... There are true folk songs passed down for generations that are much more powerful and will certainly outlast To each his own though.....
