This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just feel so complete after listening to it. Annie Haslam has one of the best voices, period (I’ve heard she had formal opera training). It just commands your attention. Check out that second “ashes are burning away.” Still gives me chills. Anyway, the instruments sound fantastic here, too. Specifically, the organ and piano during that instrumental break. Sheesh! I never thought a prog rock song would evoke so much emotion in me.
