the Most powerful of power ballads, originally written for a musical about nosferatu, playing over some truly bizarro dark academia-fantasy with incomprehensible plot? nothing else can ever compare.
the writer eventually reused the song like 30 years after he wrote it for a vampire musical that did actually make it to broadway! it ran for like two months and lost millions. iconic
this song isn't fully instrumental, but go to aboht 4:20 and some of the best music i've ever heard in my life follows suit. it evokes such a deep rooted, primal sensation that builds and releases SO masterfully, and this song has followed me through so much pain and catharsis. HIGHLY recommend.
Iβm walking alone in dark, cold, snowy weather on the streets of some Eastern European city letting my entire body feel the intensity of all the worldβs sorrow when I hear this song. Not to be dramatic.
Put on the robe, turn on adult swim or whatever, crank the ac, eat a late night snack in one bed and sleep in the other. The freedom of impersonal liminal space.
