    It's rare when a song can make you cry and you really can't explain it but this is a song that certainly tugs at the heartstrings. This rendition is the most beautiful I've ever heard.

That is no joke -- Wales is the Land of Song, truly, and I love, with all my heart, the Welsh love of the voice! I wish more people in this world could understand better just how musicians like Cai make this crazy, hectic, and sometimes all-around twisted world a better place, yes? Oh, how very proud I am of him! I can't express it more. *tears in my eyes*

    From the beauty of the harp, to the double bass and violins coupled to the young man’s mastery of the lyrics he is voicing backed up by a capable choir, the mechanics of this magic are magnificent. The work involved to arrive at the finished product always amazes me as the musician works the instrument so delicately while the vocalist manipulates their talent through precise control to arrive at what amounts to a masterpiece. Having been involved in this field, so much happens to get here. Bravo to all. That was a delight to behold.

    More mythical clap-trap! It's depressing to see the credit for such a talent being deflected away from the person who has that talent. This beautiful living being is the ultimate product of the tens of thousands of years of microscopically small advances made by the generation-on-generation evolution which has created the modern human being, with all its strengths and all its weaknesses, all its joy and all its sadness, all its goodness and all its evil. Let us rejoice in humanity, its reality and all its most magnificent qualities and achievements, the better to address its many failings. I pity you for your betrayal of your own species. I detest ignorance and delusion, and wish each person who suffers from them a prompt and complete recovery. Get well soon.

    In the "Song of Patriotic Prejudice" Michael Flanders asserted that the Welshman "...sings far too loud, far too often, and flat..." While some Welsh singers fall into those traps, This young man's voice is true and unwavering, spot-on intonation and pitch. A fine performance.

    I had this song stuck in my head for 2 decades without knowing what it was, and when I finally heard it again it was like being struck by lightning and I broke down crying for no apparent reason. I've sure I've listened to it over a thousand times since then and I'm still overwhelmed every time I hear it. Have to add that while the focus tends to be on the singer, the lighting, recording, and filming in this video is superb, the people involved in the production should be very proud.
