zenith

thinking long and hard about it today. i realized that if i could only ever listen to one piece of music for the rest of my life, i would have to choose the second guitar solo from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. i have never been so moved in my blood, guts, soul, heart, or head, by another piece of music. i don't know why. it makes me emotional every time i hear it - tears and goosebumps, no exceptions. it's primal and haunting and beautiful and exultant and chilling and desperate and anguished and euphoric and raw. it speaks to me like poetry and life. the second solo of this song is the first time i truly fell in love with music, and something reminds me of that every time i listen.

i love this video of it, because it is a version of this song, a live performance, that actually happened in my lifetime. i wish like hell i could have been at this concert in person.

anyway, there's one little important chels fact.
