Singer Mark Seymour said, "With the lyrics, I'd been reading a Jeanette Winterson novel, "The Passion". It was a story about Napoleon's chef when he invaded Russia. The army was destroyed by the weather. It's a story about survival. It's a really powerful book and somehow I drew this analogy between the idea of this guy managing to survive this incredible ordeal and Hunters and Collectors making this excruciating record."[2] The song has since become an Australian rules football anthem,[3] particularly with the reference to the Premiership Cup and the AFL Grand Final. Channel Ten used the song to open and close its AFL broadcasts between 2002 and 2006. Seymour performed the song as part of the AFL Grand Final's pre-match entertainment in 1998, 2002 and 2009 and half-time entertainment in 2013. This song was used for many{{quantify|date=June 2015}} years as the theme song of the Queensland Bulls cricket team in the quest for the Sheffield Shield, its own "Holy Grail". It was also featured as the theme song to the Australian rugby league movie Footy Legends. In 2013 a cover version of "Holy Grail" by The Rubens appeared on the tribute album, Crucible – The Songs of Hunters & Collectors.[4] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = | all_writing = Mark Seymour, Jeremy Smith, Doug Falconer, John Archer, Barry Palmer, Michael Waters, Robert Miles, John Howard[5][6] | total_length = 17:57 | title1 = Holy Grail | length1 = 3:50 | title2 = True Tears of Joy | note2 = live & acoustic | length2 = 3:43 | title3 = Where Do You Go? | note3 = live & acoustic | length3 = 3:14 | title4 = When the River Runs Dry | note4 = live & acoustic | length4 = 3:49 | title5 = Holy Grail | note5 = live & acoustic | length5 = 3:21 }}{{Track listing | headline = UK single (18 April 1994) | collapsed = yes | all_writing = Mark Seymour, Jeremy Smith, Doug Falconer, John Archer, Barry Palmer, Michael Waters, Robert Miles, John Howard[5] | total_length = 16:38 | title1 = Holy Grail | length1 = 3:52 | title2 = Head Above Water | note2 = | length2 = 4:24 | title3 = True Tears of Joy | note3 = | length3 = 4:35 | title4 = Grindstone | length4 = 3:47 }} Chart performance
