How amazing this is and, in fact, what it is can’t be explained with words. This “song is great” doesn’t begin to cover it, in fact this “song” might not even be “good” …

In every great album/mix/performance, there is a point when go to a different level: it’s about rhythm not “beat”, sonics not “recordings”, mood—what is mood, really?. It’s about a higher state of consciousness reached through what our verbal language calls “music”. That is what this is. And that is likely not clear from this—indeed it is not possible to do that—but that’s why this was created to be listened to and not talked about; listen to it and you may say “that makes sense”.

I was lucky enough to see it live, dropped at the right time, in the right way, and it was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. Funny thing is that I don’t even remember it that well, it’s a hazy drug-filled memory—and I didn’t take any drugs. But, barely remembering it probably makes me understand it more as the words of the song ring evermore true: just remember to fall in love, there’s nothing else.
