I'm getting some of the melodic stylings and vocal sounds of folk, but the oddly stilted delivery and overblown, tepid orchestral indulgences of prog rock. Kind of like folk music without the soul (that was harsh, but it's what I got from it).

Pretty split feelings on this one. The first half had some lovely singing passages, but the music and the song as it progressed into the second half... ehhhh.... not entirely sold on this one, I'm afraid. Kinda made me want to go and listen to a Joan Baez album instead.
Sounds like Peter Gabriel's wife made a record.
