Analysis of the Song Doesn't Match Musicological Analysis
editThe song is correctly categorized as "Folk" in the sidebar taxonomy area, but then is described as a lyrical acoustic ballad in the style of Madonna. That makes no sense. This is a folk-sentimental song with interval modes in D Major that match Central European or East European melos, akin to Abba. Historiaantiqua (talk) 02:24, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
