Ok, this may not be the best song on the album but it certainly is one of my highlights making a bit of a dark horse, so I thought it should have its own post.
I particularly love the first half complete with the folky fiddle and tinkling mandolin in the background, providing a different mood from what has gone before. As a fan of folk music and a folk musician myself I really appreciated this moment.
On first listens, however, I didn't hear the mandolin as I was listening too intently to the excellent fiddle playing (thanks to this forum for pointing out where it appears). Does anyone know who is credited to be playing the violin or mandolin as I still haven't received my CD from Roadrunner to see the credits!
The second half changes the mood again but it is equally powerful and stirring. Extra points go the band for managing to conjure up another gorgeous new melody from all the recurring themes heard previously after 2 hours of music.
Discuss, debate and appreciate!!
