The live version of that McKennitt song is breathtaking. She doesn't use any production effects for her voice. Its just pure and amazing.

I look at or read or hear the things of beauty and honor and righteousness that OUR people have made and I take up hope because, try as they might, the acolytes of lunatic evil have failed to extinguish the spirit that made, remembers and continues to cherish and make such things. Her voice is wonderful as are the works of art and the music that accompanied. Thanks for posting.
