My favorite piece of all time. This is beautiful! But in an anything but obvious way, though. If you just give in to it, it is truly beautiful, completely transcendental. But if you do not give in to it, try to control, understand or decipher it, it can become utterly terrifying. It is thus a complete masterpiece, with the potential to fill out the whole emotional spectrum. Genius

I see a grey wall, with certain human shapes protruding in accordance with the prominence of individual voices. You see from afar, and wonder how it's textured; how it feels. But somehow, you know not to touch it, out a fear you will become more of the wall. Really strange how we came to similar conclusions, @superfatamusic, I never saw your comment until I'd finished with this.

The twisted mind of one of the greatest director's of all tiem brought me here.
