I choose a song hard to relate to, an old song from the times of cultural stigma that have thankfully died away. The beauty however lies not in trying to relate to the man's reality, but the atmosphere he creates for himself.
Lyrics are difficult to find, harder to decipher. But it doesn't matter - As the song's straightforward tune kicks in, all you need to gather is a simple man's simple way to pass his time, a simple path to take him temporarily away from his reality, carried away by the unanimous chants of his peers.
One can't help but hum along, tap their feet to the ground, feel as if you are right there, toiling away along with the men, and in fleeting moments, wishing to be there, feeling the hope & the vibes of oneness with people.
I think that is the principal beauty of the song; despite their situation, it showcases the hope & unity they feel; it shows a strong human being's stronger will to spot diamonds among the rough.
