This is taken from The Rhythm of the Saints, probably the album that influenced my musical taste most in 2011. It opened my eyes to world music which was quite a revelatory awakening.

I really like the contrast in the song between the hushed, almost dreamlike opening and the dramatic, exhorting finish that the song builds to. 

And these streets, quiet as a sleeping army, send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven, for the mother’s resless son…
