I recently heard Cavalry, by Mandolin Orange, for my first time. I listened to it dozens of times over the next couple weeks.

I didn’t grasp what the meaning of the song was, but I felt it. I wasn’t even understanding all of the words, but the message was powerful anyway. I was moved by listening to Mandolin Orange, and I’m not sure why.

Today I heard them while listening to a recent episode of Live From Here, and they were show stoppers. When they sang, they had the whole place captivated.
