Perhaps when this song was first recorded the members of the Raydons realized they were on to something - the slowly building tension of the verses, the lilting refrain that is both majestic and melancholy, the finale of layered guitars sweeping with tones of anger-cleansing renewal and the post-script of delicate and seemingly forgiving notes of the harmonica never fail to induce an empathic response from the listener. This is a timeless classic.
