At first I thought this was Melissa Etheridge; which would have been poignant. The sheer power of his conviction to offer shelter to the misfits made me a bit teary this morning. Maybe I was just in need of hearing it. Sometimes I feel like the world could use a little bit more of this.

Just finished reading Mike Scott's memoir "Adventures of a Waterboy" not very long ago. Interesting path he took with his career as a musician and a great read for anyone who is a fan of his work.

I would feel more comfortable, with "Let 'em All In" . Bringing in, even the uninterested or unwilling does not seem right.

When I was a christian, I loved this song, because I believed strongly in the words of the Bible. Now, this is still a beautiful song, but doesn't pull my heartstrings anymore like it did. Mike Scott's song is maybe derived from a song of A. Thomas called Bring Them In.

Funny, I was a Christian until I read the Bible. That book doesn't say what people think it says. It seems more like a work written by Rome, and packed with truly dark but hilarious jokes.

Mike Scott is a shamanistic songwriter, a true Muse follows him around. And he loves Japan!

check out this version

this song reminds me of Rumi's poem The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Precisely why I came here to make a comment. Great minds think alike.

I may have been involved in the aforementioned Paul Brady tune, too. Guess I'm a "Mondegreen" promoter. Worth noting that my father is famous for turning the "tea" line in "Doe, A Deer" into "A drink with Jan and Fred" so I guess it's genetic.

In any case, it's certainly a pretty good tune, mawl/maul/mall and all.

I don't see the resemblance to Cohen at all. The spare instrumentation in this song is nothing like any Cohen song I can think of, and the simple, repetitive lyrics are nothing at all like the subtle, rich, lyrics of Cohen.

The Waterboys were probably one of the best of the Celtic bands to ever come out into the mainstream. Bang on the Ear is still one of my favorite tunes of all time. Mike has tried hard to re capture the "Fisherman's Blues" vibe since but really doesn't come close to it. Love the organic rhythm of this track though...
