My God, I just loved this song when I first heard it and it just grew on me from there. Is it not just one of the best songs of the year, if not THE best, one of the best tunes Dev's ever done in career, and, Goddamn it, one of the best songs of ALL TIME???!!!! The way it builds from incredibly mellow beginnings up to that magnificent operatic climax! Makes my hair stand on end every time. 7 mins 20 of pure musical magic. I just thought it deserved it's own thread.
You thought right about this thread! There are few things in life which do to me what that song does.
Remember when Dev released the preview and the Ki crescendo was on it without the layering? I listened to it for the first time lying on my bed staring at the ceiling, it was incredible. Then when Ki arrived me and Leechy listened to it on super quality surround sound speakers, I recognised the crescendo and went "Aw, I've heard this already." But then the additional remastering kicked in, and the way he textured and wrapped the music around itself blew me away. I remember being in my kitchen and staring at Mark in disbelief, being like "Are you hearing this too?"
It gets me every time, to this day. It's my third favourite song ever since the moment I heard it. It's very close to passing out Hide Nowhere as my second favourite and moving up a rank. Time will tell!
