Great tune. The opening riff brings back some cool memories of sitting in my room with my first guitar, feeling pretty good about learning how to play that shimmering little ditty. The production on that opening has a close up feel, and you can hear the percussive tone of the picking. But at the chorus, the acoustics have a mellow, far away feel as they strum, making way for the bright electric (12 string?). Dig the ethereal backing vocals from Mills.
Lyrically, it's another journey into Michael's religious tapestry: the Passion in question, of course, is the Passion of Christ; and not everyone can carry the weight of the world. Then what's he saying at the bridge, Gunga Din?
