This brings forth painful memories of listening to Sami Jojk on 70:s educational TV in primary school.
I got nothing against our local aboriginals who's ululations seem to be cosmically attuned to every other pipe smoking dude or dudette in the backwoods of the world. I however, rather prefer the pipe smoking ululations of progressive rockers.
2 from the Uppsala jury.

I know a lot of folks like this tune but when the children come in at the end the thing goes right over the top into pure bathos |

His horrid warbling completely obscures any 'beautiful message' the song might be trying to deliver.

Gents let's not be too cool for school. This is a gorgeous song that shall be consumed on those special occasions... think Sunday mornings and such.
And it blows my mind that it was recorded just last year... I'm not an old geezer, but I can't help but think that these days mostly crap comes off the printing presses, which makes tunes and voices like one this even more special.

Passionate, beautiful, and hugely important message. This song takes risks, but X delivers.

This song never fails to capture my attention. It's so simple and yet so captivating. The album art paints the exact picture that comes to my mind whenever I hear the song.
I'm the kind of guy who doesn't pay much attention to the lyrics and focuses solely on the music. What I love about the structure of the song is how symmetric and gradual it is. It starts off very simple; voice, guitar, harmonic noise. It then builds up to an eventual breathtaking peak further accentuated by a gentle background of a children's choir. The song ends the same way it starts; guitar and vocals.
As the title suggest, this track really carries a spiritual quality to it. I can almost imagine a gentle, warm breeze playing with my hair as I absorb the last rays of a fiery tropical sunset being slowly swallowed by the vast ocean.

Don't work for me - way to repetitive.

Interesting like I'm starting to like more this song due to its "mantric" qualities, like repetition. Usually I don't like too much repetition in music, but in this song it's a positive thing.

Pleeeeeease make it stop!
It's really not that bad. It just quickly loses it's appeal or whatever is all, after the first several listens.

Looks like we have a difference of opinion in the Bath area - let's argue it over a pint in The Bell!
