During this holiday season, a song that celebrates love. (Not the possessive and sentimental love of American romantic comedies, but the pure and immediate love of Eastern wisdom.)
As a teenager, I had missed out on Pearl Jam, and I didn't know much about Eddie Vedder except that my musician friends idolized him. Then, I discovered the soundtrack of Into the Wild, especially No Ceiling and Society. Later, I realized that it was him again, who was behind the fantastic soundtrack of Dead Man Walking.
So recently, I've been revisiting this song:
A blend of country and traditional tunes that I would have loved to see live. The burst of voices at the end should be enough to trigger a spiritual awakening when experienced head-on.
