Might be a day late, but this just came up. The 'Classic' Steeleye line-up from the late 70s. Maddie's voice just gives me the chills, in a good way.
Also, the first UK Singles Chart hit fully in Latin.

Emotions are by nature unstable. Otherwise we couldn’t recognize any change.
Trying to stabilize emotions is suffering. Imagining to be responsible for them is suffering too.
But you are not that. You are the stability behind their movements. You are the riverbed in which they flow.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

This oil painting, titled "The Sound of the Night," was created by American artist Richard Schmid in 2004. It depicts a serene and intimate scene of a man standing by a window in a dimly lit room, listening to music from a wooden phonograph.
The man's reflection in the window adds extra depth
