I'll second the spoiler alert below — and I'll also strongly second the recommendation for the movie (The Constant Gardener). It's absolutely brilliant — sad, joyous, painful, and achingly beautiful, with gorgeous location scenery (in Kenya) and stellar performances from Ralph Fiennes and Rachael Weiss.
 

I agree...

that movie came out in 2005— three years before you posted this...  seems like a long time ago, now...  time flies when we're having fun...  sigh...

love this music...

Johhny, judging by your list of favorites, you, my friend, are stuck. Do you wear bell bottoms?

Kothbiro is a masterpiece.

Thanks for the info. Mind you, he could be singing the telephone directory for all I care, with such a smooth voice. And boy, does he have one shiny bonce! 7 from the entranced Nottingham jury.

 As a hearder  of cows, I wonder why he needs to bring the cows in, they're not going to blow away!

but I like the song none the less.

 
Having grown up on a farm, I agree.  Cows are pretty smart about weather too.  They can tell if it's going to be a short shower or a longer storm.  If it's short they'll continue grazing, if it'll be more serious, they'll seek cover in the barn or under trees before it starts.
