All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention.

If you open up your heart
You will know what I mean
We've been polluted so long
But here's a way for you to get clean By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see.
I love the sound of voices singing together, congregational singing, anything like gospel, or folk, or sea shanties. I spent quite a bit of time in choirs growing up, and in the world-touring music group, Anuna. It's a sound with very rich texture, voices singing together.
