Nobody does intimate quiet and soaring anthem in one song the way the Crows do.
A couple of years back I did some writing about the Crows. You can read that here.

In the comments of the post “Dealing with Difficult Scripture” John said:
“We’ve been talking a lot about the atheist vs christian views but what about Christians who are struggling with a lot of the same questions?  I classify myself as a skeptical christian.  I get the ‘by grace through faith’ concept – mostly – but [...]
