This song is one of my favorites, so full of contrasts,
both sweet and gruesome!
Just listen to Mrs. B's angelic voice when she sing duet with herself,
accompanied by those horrid pictures...
Religious fanatism and intolerance is a problem in general, but I realize it was another time, with other considerations and ideals back in the days of The Crusades, and it wasn't as black-and-white as you may think.
However, in a large part of the world it has now been peace for over 60 years, so lets hope we will eventually learn to solve our conflicts without the sword!
Yes, I only listen to this one. The video is just too well done. It speaks myriads anti-war, and anti-prejudice. HER self-duet is awesome. SHE can wipe the floor with most other singers.
