Van and the Chieftains - one of my favorite albums (is that what kids call them these days?), and that is a great song.
That they could record together is the answer to Rev. Doctor Rodney King's question "Can't we all just git along?" - there it is, people of varying shades of pale, singing and makin' music as if they were from the same island.
The Tyrant is inevitable when The People turn away from God. That's where we are now. Why is the first commandment Thou Shalt Have No Other God But God? Because The People (that includes you and me) are always drawn toward idolatry. So we have worship of The State. Worship of Social Justice. Which is the negation of His justice. Where we are now.
On a similar vein, I like "Sing Out, Earth and Skies" ... no particular reason, just that I do. Given my new found (no less) faith has been severely challenged of late, anything that is uplifting helps.
And when it comes to Irish music, the one I have in my profile is my favorite: An t-Úll ...basically it says, be grateful for what you have for you may not have it long.

Warms me heart, it does...
"....let the fires of Your justice burn."

*delurking* How very odd to see my old alma mater prominently featured in the first video.
That's a great old tune, known as both "Kingsfold" and "Dives and Lazarus."
I should add, *also* known as "Kingsfold" etc.
