This song blows my mind and spirit virtually every time I listen.
It does this incredible alchemy that I never thought I’d hear (because I hadn’t conceived of it myself) and that turns out to be the very core definition of what it means to be epic in 2025.
It takes the beauty and history of gospel, including the very moving call and response tradition, and the chest-opening sound of a group of people in perfect harmony singing the same message. It takes all of that and blends it with a Bond theme.
And the result, for me, is the racy feeling that being the superspy who is going to save everyone can be the same feeling on your way to spread the message of peace.
You should feel fucking epic like this when you start out your day with that objective at least in your mind, among all the other shit you have to take care of so that you can be healthy and transmit.
So let not your heart be troubled today. The evening sun is down while it’s still burning.
