Statement

In the song "a worker of the land was emboldened in solidarity towards a better future, placing him at the center of his uplifting work, whose contact with nature made his job acquire mystical edges."The song begins as a "slow-tempo reflective piece" and then grows into a "fast-paced, fat-textured anthem." It was described as a "worker's prayer" and "a song crying out for democracy."
