Try the human condition; because you're worth it.

If a visiting alien species ever required an epitome of "Inspiring", I would play them this song.
That's because it demonstrates so perfectly the utter mess and the supreme dignity of the human animal. And it's only take them 2 minutes to get it.
Up the garden path this thing takes us, climbing to a hill under the sky where a strange craft awaits with its innocent secret weapon, unwittingly designed to blow your cynical old socks off.
The hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention and I choke back something raw. Even though I'm a vegetarian.
Introduced by earnest ploughing strings joined quickly by a bluff orator's voice, the first little surprise comes in the form a quirky, clownish touch. Then, just as you're tapping into that, there's suddenly a hugely expansive and touching widening-of-perspective - both musically and lyrically - which is completely dependent on the genuineness of the voice which carries it. Fragile but resolute, he comes at you from all angles, aided by the instrumental richness of it all. There's even a keyboard that sounds like a harp. Or is it the other way around?
A paradox in song, it's complicated but it's simple. A vortex of emotionally complex and intertwined sounds, but a small voice cutting through; the still, small voice within. The one that sings down the storm.
With no affectation or thirst for perfection, it all works in the way it works. The line "Now I know that only the rain makes things grow" stirs with a truth we acutely relate to. It has that quality of familiarity with an added secret ingredient which reacts with our learned responses as a kind of arousing deja vu. 'Ah yeah, I know this, but I'm feeling it for the first time'.
Great song, intelligently and instinctively put together, but still one to hear without ears.
