With a western twang the song begins at once, nicely setting into a pastoral groove. Completely bereft of percussion, the way the piece unfurls gives it a nearly dreaming quality. Over the course of the track Rev Peter Unger settles upon a yearning temperament, one that hopes for improvement in the ways of the world. Focusing upon the loss of the innocents, those who have suffered at the hands of individuals unwilling to change. Layer upon layer works wonders as the song evolves with such grace. Bass possesses an emotional impact to it, as it is used with such delicacy. Akin to a great cycle, the song ends with a pitch-perfect mantra.
