I like it too, though I think I prefer Óró, perhaps, or Memories. Óró would be pushing for my favorite Irish-language song, at least. :-)
I love the bass line in Ri na Cruinne. The song's too short, otherwise. Most of their stuff is my favorite music, and A Gentle Place is my all-time favorite piece. If that's not redundant. :-D
As for the churches filling with Catholics of all stripes, you can only choose what fits you best. Over the years, being raised in the Jewish faith more than the Catholic faith, I've never really felt "at home" in church. All the christian holidays are things I've grown up with, but not holidays that have any more meaning to me. However, when I was young, the only holidays that were observed in the school calendar were the christian ones, so I was used to being overlooked. Still, there's no harm in wishing anyone a pleasant Christmas or a Happy Hannukah. It's just words to me, but they bring nice feelings to those who believe. ;-) If I don't believe, is it hypocrisy? Or is it just good manners? ;-)
Off to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tonight. Ta.
