    It's great to see a choir sing a more MODERN song ( well 1990), instead of the same hymnals. Refreshing actually, and the MESSAGE is very in tune with something that SHOULD be sung by a Choir . Brilliant arrangement, Brilliant voices... All AROUND Brilliant!

      ​@@thebigragu9952 If you can find evidence in the song for it, it's a legit interpretation and everything is on the table even if Linnell has been explicit that this is about a nightlight singing to the occupant of a room. In The Bradley Scout (April 1994) interview, he does mention man vs. machine but he's talking about the folk hero John Henry, and it's only Linnell so maybe not the one you're thinking of? Do you happen to remember where you read it? I'd like to read it. It could be with John Henry on his mind he started seeing the song in that way. Cheers! :)
