Dust Bowl Dance.

Noticed this would be my 100th post. Thought it fitting to post on music and theology since they are the two labels i've used most. This is mostly music, but it reeks of spiritual themes.

This is my favourite song of the moment, it's from the brilliant Mumford & Sons album 'Sigh No More'. Got the album for Christmas - haven't been able to stop listening to it, and this, to my mind, is its stand out track. In it i hear gentle allusions to a day where one faces God, but the idea seems to be, rather than simply being awestruck, the full gamut of feeling is expressed.

It builds wonderfully slowly to its emphatic climax and drinks up expressions of humility, frailty, frustration, anger, regret and sorrow, but leaving a residue of hope and peace. Beautiful.
