    Rarely does music make we want to weep, this is one song that does it every time. Sublime.

      @@richardbamsey5242 Looking back on my life, I don't know how I managed to break away from the Billboard charts and sugary radio junk into this realm of criminally underappreciated magic like this, but I'm glad I'm here.
      At the same time, however, it's very bittersweet... I don't have anyone directly to share in my love for this kind of music in real life. :-(
      I wish others understood how music like this makes me feel.

    These guys are a force of nature, ridiculously talented. It's like the essential "Celticism" of the northeast, the Old North, is having a dialogue with everything that has happened since. Then that clogging at the end! Spellbinding performance.

    It's taken me a while to come around to this song, I started on Magpie from Detectorists, then have come around from Molly Drake, Robert Wyatt and many brilliant others to finally truly appreciate this song - and the clog dancing - in it's own right! As a child I used to take our 'large plaster chess set' wooden board out and pretend to tap dance on it, if I'd seen this then I would TOTALLY be doing this dancing! :)
