I am only commenting on the comparison you made. That song is not in the class of the songs done by Martin.

I agree in terms of the “message”…that one will never be surpassed…but Marchin sweet can’t donebig grinbig grin

By the way…Marchin is more in the “revivalist” genre…pocomania…not calypso..that’s why church people love it…

Are these campaign songs better than the festival songs for the past ten years? I'm not even sure the commission had a festival song this year!
