This one might well be the song that changed my life more than any other. Not because of the song itself. But because the first 15 seconds of this song caught my ear, got me to buy the CD. (Yes, I'm old.) That drew me to being a fan of the band. Which led me to the band's online fan forum. Which developed into some friendships that have now persisted for 20+ years. Amusingly, the little horn motif that drew me in was a thing most of the longer-term fans of Caedmon's hated.
