Lovely, Dougie. Every time I hear this song it stays in my head for several days and I walk around singing it. My co-workers may (or may not) thank you for this tomorrow.
I've never figured out why this song always brings tears to my eyes. It's not a sad song. Though I've never been to Australia and probably never will, I think it moves me so much because it's about roots, Celtic or otherwise, and a kind of universal spirituality. It's also stunningly beautiful. Oh, heck! I shouldn't try to analyze stuff. I should just experience it.
You're right, I always feel the same, not sure why. That line "your gentle children who have gone are close to me tonight" always fills me up. I wish I knew what it was about. What a great song.

I think you analyzed it rather well. I couldn't agree more.

This is absolutely beautiful.
I was there! fantastic night.
