"you do seem to be in a minority of one "
At least two others have commented at not being able to hear the words, and one posting on the other thread put my attitude in a nutshell - "Meaning, who needs meaning" - I do, for one.
The vocals are drowned by the accompaniment in some places and in general, the accompaniment doesn't (accompany, that is) it dominates, making the words irrelevant and turning the song into a piece of well-performed music - fine, if you like that sort of thing - not what I expect from a song with as strong a message as 'Blackleg Miner'.
I have no motives other than the one I have stated.
I post what I believe to be the case from my background in research
My attitude down the years has regularly changed with the information I have received from those researches - that was what I hped to find here onlt to find, once again, that there is nothing serious on offer - plenty of abuse though.
