Why I love Clannad

Weird melodies.

And lyrics like these:

Travelling down a dirty road
Covered with moss
And see the grey stones
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes by
Coming down from heaven like a falling star
That you wish upon

Isn’t it a struggle
To find a good friend?
Isn’t it a struggle
To have to defend?
Isn’t it a struggle
You have to take that chance to lend a hand
Well I’m travelling down a dirty road
Clearing up all that’s known

A misty occurrence happens all the time
Around every corner a brighter day lies
Loads of mercy, beauty beholds
An eye for a partner as good, as good as gold
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes by
Coming down from heaven like a falling star
That you wish upon

Isn’t it a struggle
To find a good friend?
Isn’t it a struggle
To have to defend?
Isn’t it a struggle
You have to take that chance to lend a hand
Well I’m travelling down a dirty road
Clearing up all that’s known"Struggle"

And this was followed by Rusted Root doing "Back to the Earth." Another kinda weird melody, with good lyrics:

...

Back to the earth, I feel it.
Back to the earth I'm fallin'
Ah, back to the earth, I feel it.
Back to the earth, I'm fallin'.

Many divisions of you
Many divisions of me
...
Many divisions of me when we are so young.

Hey-oh mom, momma, free my soul
Hey-oh, day momma
Hey-oh mom, momma, free my soul
Hey-oh, day momma
...

And then Lloyd Cole, whom I've never heard of, but he's got a great voice. And the song he's singing is "Patience."

Huh.
