Again on french radio, 12/1 playlist Around the 20.00 minute mark. I think I'm in love. http://sites.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/em/cestlenoir/playlists.php?day=12&mth=1&year=2010

Meant to say - there is lots of other good stuff on this station.

vive la france ! thanks a lot Duddy, I love much this song too ! the voice is less dark as usual, the orchestra lighter too , the intro is pure as lace , all the song is pure lace and velvet. I think the first chock of classical music is gone for me, I get more and more used to classical arrangements, I now can appreciate better the song by itself. And for my ears, all is knew as I don't know the original song

Mercy! . . . . "all the song is pure lace and velvet" Ceridwen,nothing to add because you have perfectly described with poetry what i feel and the song,fantastic! p.s. thank you Duddy"! p.s. 2 . the voice of Peter is relly beautiful!

Geoffrey Oryema has also recorded a great version of this song - check out his excellent 2001 album "Spirit".

Thanks a lot Duddy! I loved immediately the extract the first time i heard it on the podcast. The full version is very powerful. The beginning of the track reminds me the violin from Shankar who contributed to many Peter Gabriel songs. I love the double voice at around 22:50 that creates a kind of growing tension. EXCELLENT

You're welcome Lunatics :-]

After several listenings, i'm totally in love with this song. It's SO nice. It will be one of my favorites on SMB, that's sure. There's something spiritual that i can't explain.

I was reminded a little of San Jacinto - in terms of its atmosphere.
