jlind, your family and friends are all here in this room because they love you. It's important that you sit in this chair and just listen to what each of them has to say. We've also asked Cliff, a crisis specialist-in-training to sit in and observe for the purposes of his dissertation.

One of the most amazing songs I've ever seen performed live. Hairs standing up on the back of the neck; a tingle down the spine; totally transfixed. And I wasn't even drunk.

I can't get enough of this song! But "It's a fire" is also brilliant.

On average audio equipment, this is a really good track with a high rating.  

On high-end audio equipment, this is one of the most emotionally evocative and perfect audio pieces in the history of all music.

Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong Storm.. in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
And surely that ain't right

Think i can feel with you, this: "aren't you ready, where behind schedule already..." is so frustrating.
