What a waste of digital space and memory the left has made for us, this is one among many trashy leftists bands. This really is a shameful time of America when this song came out. (2004)
I like Bing Crosby's work, but I think he helped destroy good music. He was a very "intimate" singer, meaning quiet singing but close to the mic, so it felt like he was singing to you specifically. This really in my mind, paved the way for the singer's ability to overcome the quality of the music behind it. Mind you it took probably over 60 years for that degredation to really hit, and not all genres hit evenly. I have an old Psalter Hymnal. In it, it states the requirements chosen for the songs the hymnal collabrators chose. The music should be beautiful, it should not depend on the lyrics to hold it together, likewise the words shall be beautiful, not depending on the music to bear it up. They must both be beautiful and encompass Biblical truths. I loved singing the hymns from that hymnal. I will say some songs they picked... I disagree with their statement, a few did not deserve to make the cut. I digress. Music has been sucking for a hot minute, and modern day crap, don't get me started. 32 years old for reference.
