Song 120 ( Big Country - In A Big Country )

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/Big_Country_-_The_Crossing.jpg

After some of my more recent depressing picks I thought that I should pick something more upbeat. I like this song mostly because of the different riffs played by the guitar, it is somewhat similar to Scottish Folk; I also really like the overall upbeat lyrics and feel. This might have been their only hit here in the U.S. however, they have had more success abroad.
Oddly enough, the band has recently reunited for a 25th anniversary tour even though the lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Stuart Adamson died.
