If this is the only song I ever wrote, I'd be thrilled. Just caught them on the Transatlanticism 20th anniversary tour (with Postal Service), and the hush in the room as they started this, building to absolute (devastated) euphoria was amazing. And then Passenger Seat followed and everyone cried.
Saw them last night at the MVP Arena in Albany NY - it was the show of a lifetime! Musical cheering, succinct and enveloping...every note resounded and lifted, we were all in one, and didn't want to come down. Thank you.
I heard this song for the first time as a kid. I hadn't watched anyone die.I didn't know how much I needed it until fifteen years after my first listen
There are so many people out there, so many emotions, so many artists writing about their emotions and composing what will be a soundtrack to people's lifes - and there is YOU. You and this epic song.
