That's one of my favorites, an absolutely beautiful song with a strong lyric, and seems to "omitted" most of the time. "Today I am not prey to dark uncertainty..." wow, one of the most faith-inducing lines out there. Much like "The Dawntreader" is rendered so nicely on T'log, I would have liked to see more of these older songs be more fleshed out as well. Fiddle & The Drum is of course brilliant as acapella and perhaps most effective in that style, but it would also work with some orchestration. I listened to Clouds yesterday, and it always strikes me how good those songs are (Roses Blue & Songs to Aging Children being the exceptions for me, I think) but some are in such a stark "frame" they could be better appreciated in a more ornate fashion. Christine Sullivan's cover of "I Think I Understand" proves me right I would say. Bob, still without power at In-law's house... NP: Blue Mountain, "Wicked Ways" 11.24.00
