i'm surprised by the negative reaction by so many people. i think this music is a little different, but certainly not inaccessible. to me, this is really interesting and well done, and to some extent reminds me of Marianne Faithful's "Broken English". Listen to that and think about whether its close. This song certainly didn't merit the harsh criticism posted on this message board.

No translation necessary for that timeless wail that comes from deep in the soul/conciouness of all semites, bothers and sisters all, despite superficial appearances, religious/political manipulation, and other craziness.

A great example of the rich but woefully suppressed Sami culture from my native Scandinavia. Not only is the tune beautiful, but if you spend 5 minutes reading up on the background, it becomes even more meaningful. Only a generation ago, their songs and their language were more or less banned by religious powers. The accompanying Wikipedia article has some references to this.

This type of track sets RP apart from even the best "adult album alternative station". It may not be a great song but wow, it's interesting!

Same here. RP has really opened my eyes and ears to the wide range of non-anglo music in the world. Bill and Becky especially have a thing for Scandinavian artists.

Whenever I hear a song being performed in an ancient language, I feel like the singer is reaching inside my consciousness and massaging my soul.  I dispense with the need to understand what the song is about and let it flow over me.  This song did this to me, I felt rooted to the earth while I listened.  Wonderful.
