Originally posted by Faceman2000:When I said it was particularly topical right now, I was referring to the idea of a country divided and the need to reach out to each other again. What happened in Charlottesville recently, plus the overall climate in the country (if you watch the news) makes this seem super relevant at the moment. In particular:
"I want to reach out... Walk with you..."
"I want to see, and I want to hear
To understand your fears..."
"...running from what he didn't understand..."
"There was a badness that had it's way
Love was not lost, love will have it's day..."
"I want to meet you
Where you are
I don't need you to surrender
There's no feeling
Thats so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own"

Highlight for me though is an amazing version of Viva La Quinte Brigada - a b-side to North and South of the River - from the Barrowlands in Glasgow.
