the music on which he sings the verse, I mean the clean guitar with delay, it feels like you're listening to Orpheus playing the odyssey by night under the constellations with his lyre. I don't know why, but this is where this music takes me.
@thelostsoul6 i know man its so great his voice and this song are the best. i play it on cassette when i walm my gog every day and it never gets old its luike i have to play it or the sun will never shine again.lol
I can feel the music flow through me like the warmth of the radiant sun. It makes me want to stand. It makes me want to transform myself. It makes me wsnt to ACT.
Brings tears to my eyes...

I wish I could see a really good version of this played live, but often the sound is so lousy in live forms, its a real bummer.
