This is one of those songs that just can't be played in the background; it's like, whatever you were doing before when it starts you just stop and stare at the sky or the wall or the void or I don't know, just listen to it and die a little bit
...
When you know
it's time to go
it's time to part
to break your heart
'cos nothing's alright
and the pain you hide
tears you apart
time's not on your side
and you can't put it right
though maybe you tried
but you've reached the Height
you know the rule, things fall apart
but you hope to start
a New Journey on the Road you ride
even though
you miss her shadow
on your right
'cos you need Her
like Day needs Night.
...
This kind of music makes you realize how powerful the music really is. For some, it's sadness, while for others it's happiness. Every listener recreating a small universe in their minds to the rhythms of the song, as if the memories, bad or good, synchronize perfectly with the song. This is by far one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. So hollow, so empty, yet so beautiful, no words needed. A piece of art, indeed.
This song sums up how I feel 90% of my life. Check out Arovane, Two Lone Swordsmen, early Autechre, Boards of Canada. Hopefully this will reach someone who doesn't know these artists.
