Footsteps of an ancient race? Oh please... Sounds like acoustic Spinal Tap.

If he didn't sing this would be a decent peice. I'm with everyone else on this one... bit on the cheesy side. specially the talking. what is that about? has a decent beat and the guitar is pleasant

I like this song with reservations. The tune is good and the crowd singing with him is compelling, but the lyrics are a bit cheesy, and I'm not sure his voice is well suited to this style. Okay, I'm sure it's not, but it could be worse...well, that came out as less of a recommendation than I had planned, but the opinion stands.
I'm behind that. The wordless daaaa-daaa-daaa bit should be salvaged from this mediocre song and put into a really good song.

Oh puuuurleeeaaase!!! If I wanted to hear stuff like this, I'd go to my favorite choice of cheezy bar with a bar-singer... Oh my God! Now he just got to the sing-along part where he talks... YUCK!

Boy, I thought this was cheezy before I heard the sing-along part. This is extra cheeeezy!
It's time to listen to something else, I'll check back later.

This song is good at 3 in the morning. However, at 11AM, it seems to grate. How odd.

Feels like its straight from the \"Start Your Very Own Cult\" playbook.

Wow that is the worst idea I have heard all day. I hate both these songs.

I heard Luka\'s Don\'t Be So Hard On Yourself here on RP a couple weeks ago and liked it so much that I downloaded a ton of Luka\'s other songs. Don\'t make the same mistake I did; while this song and Dont Be So Hard On Yourself are both quality tunes, the rust of Luka is mostly cheesy or happy-go-lucky folk pop crap :(

It does sound a lot like them, minus the instruments. This song gets silly when he goes into the whispered monologue. Reminds me of this: "...long ago, there was an ancient race: the Druids. Nobody knew...who they were...or what they were doing." Apart from that, I can't help thinking about that Luka guy on ER singing this song.

thanks for digging that up.

Well, Dick, it\'s got a good sound but I don\'t care for the lyrics one bit. I give it a 5.
