I dont need acid for this song to make me cry. Its so moving. . .

[katmass]

love all the comments.. I LOVE this album "profoundly" the wheat fields and acid and all that hit home.. I work in "spa" today I was doing a massage in a spa, this song came on and I wept... so much "FEELING" evoked... the gal getting the massage was so deeply touched by her massage.. thank all of you.. and thanks Eno

I am huge Eno fan and have been since '74. But the sad thing about Eno - he never realized why people loved TTM and AGW so much and why they were so great. It is the "suggestion" and freedom in them - suggested harmonics, rhythms, lyrics, thoughts, ideas, feelings, induced in the listener. All of this comes through the listeners "intention" (see Merleau-Ponty) not through some half-interested accidental hearing of "ambient" atmospheric sounds. A tragedy Eno never realized this . . .

@kierk58 What's TTM and AGW? Trying to figure out what you're saying.

I remember the night I heard this. My father happened to play it on the stereo. I stood with my head resting on a doorframe, weeping in a way brought forth only by music like this.

This is my favorite album to Brian Eno. However, my favorite song is An Ending (Ascent), It always has been my favorite song.

I also believe this is in a 12-tone scale.

[jamesedwardtheobald]

@Kirke182 nope. straight up 7-note diatonic Ionian mode. twelve tone stuff, atonal or 'tone rows', is much darker or chaotic sounding, as a rule

[Kirke182]

@jamesedwardtheobald The first song I ever wrote in 12-tone back in '79 sounded very much like this unintentionally and I got the scale out of a book on how to compose in 12-tone. Possibly Eno read the same book.

[PlanTonto]

@jamesedwardtheobald Yeah, and I invented Post-It's. ;)

[Kirke182]

Back in the day, I used to trip on acid and listen to this really early in the morning when the fog would roll across the fields.

[Nuthane]

@Kirke182 why dont you anymore?

[JoaquinJoaquinJ]

@Kirke182 I heard this song on acid too, and made me cry

[greeneyesmax]

@Kirke182 the fields weren't real nor was the fog.

This song reminds me to the Sunshine sountrack by John Murphy.

[pureloveracing]

[EMILIOMARENGO]
