This song makes me see an orange sunset from a bright red sun, from the point of view of an aircraft of some sort, miles above the earth, somehow disconnected from the scene, yet every bit an integral part. Music is our religion. What else can make us see? Our eyes. Shut up. I wish that I could express this to some people. Others just understand, and others just don't need to know. It's just that the musical/emotional/situational memory is such a wonderful thing. Also, when I listen to this song, I'm reminded of reading Endymion at 3am here at school, then walking out on the oval. When I listen to Tallis' Spem in Alium, I'm in the basement of my old house in my bed at 10am watching the light on my walls. When I listen to Vaughn Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Tallis, I'm reading Hyperion for the first time in my room at the old townhouse uphill from Fairview, thinking how the wind makes me feel like I'm flying. What reminds you of me? A clip of opera from.. uh.. Half Life? Counter Strike? Some game. I got it from Ryan. How sweet.
So you didn't disappear? No. We have become one. So I'm talking to myself? Hmm.. I believe the word I'm looking for is.. 'duh'.</em
